Basement











Well the basement is moving along even though it does not seem like it. I finally got the tape and texture done. It was almost enough for me to walk away from the project but I am starting to feel a little better about it now that we are starting to paint. I am in the middle of priming the walls for paint and the doors are being delivered today. I am going to be going out to get the trim, vanity and tile that I am going to need today also. I am hoping to get the trim up and get the basement painted within the next week we shall see.

Surgery

Tiawna had surgery on the 30th. She did very well considering everything. We went up to the Springs the day before the surgery for the pre-op appts. We arrived at her Doctors office about 20 minutes before her appt. Well we finally left after 2 and 1/2 hours of waiting without ever seeing the doctor. So we drove home and got some sleep for her surgery. They moved her sugery up two hours. We had to be there at 1030 and she was supposed to go back to the OR at 1230. They actually got her back early, The surgeon came and talked to us right before that and he said that it should be an easy procedure and he expected her to be out in about an hour. So I go out to the waiting room and John came over to hang out with me. SO we hung out got lunch and talked. SO after 3 hours I started getting a little nervous, The doctor finally came out and talked to me 3 1/2 hours after she went back. He said that he was sorry for not informing me of what was going on but that as soon as he opened her up he knew that it was going to take a lot longer than he thought. He showed me the pictures of the surgery and told me that she had blood in her hip socket. Im guessing from her fall. So finally around 730 pm that night we finally started making the trip back home. Tiawna slept most of the way home. She is doing better and better everyday. Today so far has been good she is in a lot less pain and is able to get around a little better.
