Finally, we catch up

Sorry about the lack of info. a combination of things has kept me away.

Anyway, we received permission from all of our drs to come North for the summer. So we left and had such a good trip , we did it in two days, rather than three as originally planned. Ray and Luella were here to help unload all the stuff into the house. We have been busy, mowing the lawn, here and at the Vikings. We have spent 4 nights at the Vikings, and we are supposed to put in in at least 10. We do not know when our season ends. Generally, I have been doing ok, eating and sleeping better. We have been taking the Kricket to town wide yard sales, where it is easy to ride around and for me to see what is available to buy.

Derek and his family have beeen to the Vikings, so we have seen them, and we visited Jerry and Alision, and have seen Shawn and Cheyenne. We have been to some of the Fiddle Club events, and to to the casinos in Erie and Hamburg. We presently are going to only one Dr, Dr Bodkin in Amherst. All of them are getting results from our our blood work, so theoretically, every one is monitoring our progress.

Heidi is planning on returning to Buffalo, in July, so we will see Kat more often, as well as Heidi and Dan.

Depending upon conditions, I can walk unassisted for short periods, but am reluctant to do so, because, I am wearing out the cartilege on the other side of the knee, and and do not want to have to go back to Florida, until hopefully, October.

So I struggle with the crutches, use the wheelchair or the Kriket. Fortunately, driving is no problem, and I can drive all day. The biggest problem is getting in and out of the car.

I wll sure be glad to walk normally, or at least without help. It is amazing how difficult it is to do things, when you have only one good leg, and you cannot easily get up and down.

This weekeend is fathers Day and we are going to Buffalo, where we have a fiddle gig, and Laura wants to participate in the North Amherst Fathers Day Breakfast. We will be staying at Derek's house in Clarence.

So, for the most part, things are going reasonably well here in Ripley, NY.We are looking for better days eventually, however we are very much aware that others have things tougher than we do.

Did I mention that the boat is not going into the water this year, because I cannot even get into it. Oh well, we have a number of graduation parties to go to, so maybe we will see you at one of them. until next time.

Dad really needs to update his blog....
