• Long Days

  Long Days is the name of the game for the last three weeks.  My dad had surgery back on May 18th and is still in the hospital three weeks later.  In those three weeks he has gotten a staph infection which is in his blood stream and they had to take him back to surgery on June 1st to reopen up the back and clean it all out and basically start over, but this time with a major infection.  Found out yesterday that they are going to have to take him back to surgery on Monday the 8th to do the same thing over again- and now the infection has gotten into his gallbladder so they are going to have to remove that as well.  So I have been spending tons of time at the hospital with my mom and just trying to help take care of him.  Long Days.

  I love my dad and can't imagine life without him in it on a daily basis.  Maybe its because I am a daddys girl and always have been, but these last three weeks have been hard.  The reality of the fact that he is 71 and really won't be here forever has begun to set in- but I am not ready for that and won't even go there.  So anyway..that is where I have been at- so for the lack of updates--if its of any interest I am still losing weight on the Biggest Loser and to date have lost 23 pounds and 28 1/2 inches.  It is a struggle right now, just because my mind is else where- but I will continue to push on.  If you think of send up a prayer for my dad.
