Tough Day

Well, I'm back on top of the world today, but it took a lot to get to this point. I had my first experience with a colonoscopy today. The procedure itself was nothing, worst part being getting an IV, but the prep work was miserable. Since Monday I've had to be careful what I eat and then yesterday I lived on banana popsicles. This has been a fortnight of medical adventures for me. Monday I did a sleep study and started using a CPAP machine which is a great boon to both our sleep. Last week I was out sick two days and then had a gout attack. While I was in the Doc’s for gout, she determined I had a bacterial infection. I’ve never had a time like this in my life where sickness prevailed. I surely hope this is the end of my travail….

Family Time

What a great day yesterday in spite of Alabama's loss. Adam and family came over and them Vern and Justin made it for a great family day. We got to know Vicky and the kids better and it's always great to be with Adam. Veronica got in some good visiting and it was just a banner day! The low point was of course the Alabama loss to South Carolina. I guess we're just not quite as good as our billing. Maybe in the long run this will help us on our way to another national championship. It would've been cool if Greg McElroy could've made it through his career without a loss. The sun did come up today although many probably didn't think it would last night.
