Recovery

We have done practically nothing but lay in bed and watch American politics dominate the world news. Go McCain!! (that’s for you Kevin) Every now and then we hobble out to buy groceries or take a dip in the beautiful crystal clear water.

Also, big news for the day…our two month anniversary! But we’ve both discovered that marriage doesn’t seem to be good for our health. As we vowed to love each other in sickness and in health, we sure hope the next fifty years brings just a little more health. To date, between us both and without any exaggeration, counting my hernia surgery, Lori’s stay in the hospital, various colds, food or water poisoning, gravel rash, sunburns, horrible jellyfish stings, numerous mosquito and ant bites, muffler burns, diarrhea, and constipation, we’ve been on three rounds of anti-biotics, used 250grams of antibiotic cream, used six wheelchairs, one cane, one walker, two rounds of vicodin and other pain medications, one IV, two blood tests, one x-ray, one catscan, one surgery, ten wounds, two impaired joints, spent about twenty five days (and counting) limping, two- almost four syncopal events, one admit to the hospital with two complimentary meals, nine uses of the thermometer, eighteen tablets of “stop-cold”, met six doctors, countless nurses, and spent twenty seven days in bed. We’ve really come to appreciate our time together between hospital visits! Now who wants to come on our next expedition?

Compared to John McCain’s torture and Jesus’ crucifixion, we really don’t have much to complain about and are truly thankful to still be alive!

What’s funny is that we signed up for this!
