Surgery date

As many of you know, Steve hurt his neck and shoulder at work on Dec 18, 2008. We've been dealing with workers comp and finding the right time to do the surgery. His shoulder hurts, but just enough to be annoying. His neck though, has really been giving him a time, especially these past few weeks. He has a bulging disc between c6 & C7. He's been in so much pain in the past few week, I'm almost afraid his ruptured. He's not even really felt like hunting much. His surgery date is finally set for Dec 17. Please say a prayer for him if you think about it.





I haven't been hunting much either. Too busy.





First, Emilee broke her finger Nov 13 tumbling. Of course, it was the day before a competition and I told her to suck it up and perform (not believing it was broke). When she let the trainer at school see it, he said we might want to have it xrayed if it wasn't better by Thursday. So on Thursday, we hopped on down to Vanderbilt Children for xrays and it was broke. Friday we sent to see Dr. Mark Christofersen at TOA and he immediately said, it's fix it with temporary pins. So my baby was to put to sleep the day before Thanksgiving. He set the break and inserted two pin and then casted the hand. This is what it looked like that day:

Now it is covered with about 75 signature of all her friends from school. I'll be glad when it comes off!

Gotta run, more later!
