Mis's big day

I AM NOW UPDATING THE BLOG, NOT MISTI, BUT ME, JASON, THE ONE WHO STARTED AND UPDATED IT IN THE PAST (ok, so it wasn't often, but who is keeping track :)

It is Friday night and Me and the boys just got home. Mis...No, she is at the hospital. Let me back up. We went to the doctor on Thursday and twisted their arms to fix my lovely wife. They said....ok. I said "tomorrow is good", they said....ok. We were surprised and delighted. We went this morning and she got some new hardware, Mis asked for "lipo", but I forgot the shop vac...no go. But she does have her own morphine button. Unfortunately it has a governor on it so she doesn't overdose. The doc said all went well. They said she will probably be there for 4-5 nights. She thought her bed at home was boring..... Please call her and say hi. She give me a call and I will give you her room # and phone #. She will love any type of communication from the outside.
THANK YOU EVERYONE for all of your thoughts, prayers, food, etc. We have the worlds best family, friends, and neighbors. Thank you thank you thank you.

FYI, here is what they did to her back. They are fusing two of the vertebrae together.

Thought question: Do you think they use a 12volt or an 18volt Dewalt drill?

Well we went to Greece Monday for FHE. I have started something new. Each week one boy will receive a mission call. We then learn about that place, the language, and then I atempt to fix a food from that place. So Monday Colton got called to Athens Greece. We listened to the Greek language ate hummus and gyros. Found out that Colt loves hummus. But he said he would never be able to learn the Greek language. It was fun for everyone. Of course our sweet little Trey had to complain about the food, but what's new. Next week Ty gets his call to New Guinea. What that be fun? I have no idea what they eat there. Stay tuned.
Tomorrow is the big day. I go to the surgeon to find out what to do next. I just want relief. I want to be outside in my yard. Maybe they have invented a magic pill. I'll post what I find out.

Ok so here it is my very first blog. I figured since Jason doesn't update it very often it's up to me. I'm not promising anything wonderful all I know how to do right know is type. Maybe in the future I'll learn more.
So let me tell you a little about my winter IN BED in stinks. I've had back problems all winter. One surgery, two injections, and one surgery coming up. I've been in bed since Jan 1. One person can only watch so much TV and read so many books. Anyway I will find out Thursday March 19th when my next surgery will be. They are doing the Lumbar fusion. A back surgery with a very ong recovery (usually 6 months). 2 months of that in a back brace. Doesn't sound like a fun way to spend the summer. I'm going to rely on the fathers-in-law's and sisters help with yard work. As you know Jason doen't mow the lawn correctly. I know this won't be fun I just want to be better. I wouldn't have been able to survive if it wasn't for my wonderful friends. Thank you all very much. Wow what a depressing blog hopfully next I will have better news. Oh one good news is that Colton got his mission call he's going to Athens Greece. (turn in later for more details)
Bye for now. I promise I will do better than Jason
