Good Grief - It's Fall Already

OK - so I'm taking a couple minutes to update - at least I have the newer look picture up now. I still really like the other picture. Yup - letting go is really one of my major issues. Guess it's good when it's friends and not so good with things.

The year hasn't been the greatest. Jeremy's career move to Boston was good for him at this point in the economy, but we had so much enjoyed the luxury of having him here. He was able to rent his house in Sandy which was helpful for him as well.

The disaster of losing Andrew really rather wrecked the summer, and drastically changed our lives forever. It did however bring the family closer in many respects, making us more aware of the value of what we do have, and of keeping current in our relationships. We miss that little bundle of energy and smiles, but work at finding a way through the grief to continue on.

Time at the beach was a welcome respite and an opportunity for reflection and support, as well as time together with Jeremy & Carolyn, and with Kymmie's family. Too short as ever.

Taxes done - breathing space to tidy up the email & play with some pictures. Then the women's spring luncheon at church with Colleen Down and others. Click here to see the pictures
Worked some more at the computer till Jeremy picked me up and we went to Ogden to the Hostler's Model Train Show - super fun even if trains aren't your passion because the scenes portrayed show great artistry in miniaturization, and story telling and humor. Also they have mineral, antique car, and gun collections to see if you have time. We met up with Reddigs there who had run Jack's train on the Z scale layout and toured a lot of the building. It's always fun to get together with the family.
Home and relaxed watching a movie.

Jeremy is recovering

Surgery went well - Jack was there with him, and had him home again about 4 p.m.. Next day was the follow-up doctor's appointment and then physical therapy right after!!! Makes me cringe to even think about it! But the report is that the swelling went down about an inch in the circumference measurement, and that the pain was really reduced so I guess it was a good thing. He is dutifully doing the prescribed exercises. He's limping around on it now, and daily progress relative to pain is reported. The next PT session the report was that things are going well.
Praise God.

Jer's Blow-Out

Jeremy had a couple of his "rat-pack" friends here to ski - room at the Inn at Solitude, and a four day weekend to ski. Only a few runs into the event, Jeremy had a freak fall, catching an edge on the way to get on the lift. He tore his left knee ACL.
Today, after the guys left on a plane, Jer had his MRI today. His doctor really impressed us by phoning Jer tonight with the results - the good news - cartilage not damaged, but bone bruised, and ACL torn and twisted. He meets with the Dr. on Friday to schedule surgery.
