It Took Me A Whlle

My daughter-in-law and son informed me this evening at dinner that the purpose of a blog was so that everyone could "blog" OFTEN. I guess it's sort of like a daily "chat" with everyone. They (and Jessie) didn't buy into I've been busy routine, so here goes....Dale is doing nicely from his quick router-routing surgery. Dr. Bosnick said that the esophagus wasn't as restricted as before, but he went ahead and stretched it out for him. The swallowing difficulties are probably a muscle problem which will require some special X-rays and treatment, but he didn't foresee any problems. He said we would know for sure within the next two weeks as Dale resumed taking his various pills. Well, it din't take two weeks. He knew right away this morning that the doctor was right and is now waiting to see when he'll go back for the X-rays. He's also scheduled for a CAT scan on Friday on his sinuses to see what needs to be done with all the "head" problems that he has had. Dr. Ruth seems to think he can also work through these problems. Otherwise, he is feeling a bit better.
We're planning on a trip to Des Moines this weekend. We have a long weekend because of Teachers' Institute Days and Presidents' Day. Dale wants to go up and check Laurie's "to do" list for projects on her house. This seems to be the best time to go.
It was nice to have the visit from Susan. I really wish I had more time to spend with her, but between her "dates" and Dale not feeling well, it was a short visit for me. I do know that we all enjoyed her coming to see us!!
Well, time's up. Mom and Dad will be picking me up for Church service--it's Lent, you know. Take care, Love, Sherry and Dale
PS: Chris, I'm with Leslie....did you REALLY post at 4 AM?+
