Trying to get back to normal.......

A quick update on Debbie. My poor wife is struggling on a few things. She just wants to get better but seems to be a big hill to climb. Her nose bleeds from time to time from her damaged sinuses, headaches way bad, her jaw locks up a few times a day yawning or just eating, gets very dizzy if she tilts her head left, right or back, upset stomach from time to time and sleepless nights on top of all that.
We have scheduled a few doctors and specialists but very hard to get into them. Neurologists are 3 to 6 months scheduled out. TMJ docs are about 2 weeks but got her an appointment for next week somehow. Step by step my wife will get better. She has her good days and feels pretty good for the most part as long as she doesnt bend over...... then the next day is bad again.... she is getting frustrated but hanging in there. I feel so bad for her.... her eyes tell the whole story and I can tell when she is having a rough time just by looking at her beautiful greens. I love you honey hang tough girl!!

So the last few days we have been trying to do a few things just goofing off and taking our minds off things for a bit. Cass has been busy working so much every day that she is missing out on fun family things. Cass is getting a bit burned out on the Lagoon thing working full time and then some. Paychecks are good but no time to play.

Brock ordered a medium snow cone. We couldnt believe it... yes the large is much bigger than this... haha. FYI... snow cone place is right across the street from the Farmington Maverik




Sunday we went up to Snow Basin Ski Resort up towards Eden Ut. We at lunch then took a gondola ride up to the top of the mountain. Debbie struggled for a few minutes with the pressure on her sinuses but did ok for a little while. That was a fun ride.



Debbie Brock and I out on the deck on top of the mountain over looking Eden and the whole valley. All in all it was an incredible day and just beautiful. The lodge below has a live band every Sunday and they serve lunch and drinks as we sit and listen on the grass. So dang fun. We now know how to kill a Sunday.

Hey Deb I have been catching up on you via your blog. So sorry you are going through this. I can tell by the picture with you and Brock that you don't feel great. Sam is correct when he says your eyes tell the entire story. You are beautiful but I can tell you look rough. You are a good sport! Redfish will have a different meaning to you from here on out!!!

everybody says I look rought when they see me.. Is that a polite way of saying "You look like *&^& deb.." ha ha.. Thanks Sam for everything.. I told Sam the other day he did not sign up for this. He is a saint... I am boring him to tears. We seem to be watching a lot of tv and taking very small baby steps to recovery.. GOD SPEED... I am very lucky to be here at all!!!!
