We've got a date for surgery!

Finally....2 Mar is date for full knee replacement for Melba. Will be happy for her--she is in constant pain even when the Percocet is cranked up. When she hurts, I hurt for her--when she feels a little relief, I rejoice for her. That's what 31+ years of marriage to this wonderful woman has done to me--made me a better, kinder, more empathetic man. Thank the Lord she is in my life...now and eternally.

Never thought I'd start a blog!

Not sure why I've started a blog--some reasons that come to mind:
--chance to improve writing skills
--like to embarrass myself
--want to stay tech-savvy
--enjoy reading family blogs--Doreen, Amy, Trina, Tori--thought I'd contribute my 2 cents
--over-inflated sense of self
--exercise in self-discipline--was impressed with Amy's 365 day effort
--blogging is the new journaling
--don't know how to get a life so will make one up

Off to MAMC (Madigan Army Medical Center) this morning--Melba finally has her appointment with the orthopedic surgeon to discuss surgery on her gimpy knee.
