Wow, it has been a while hasn’t it? To say the last couple of weeks were a bit crazy would be an understatement of epic proportions. This time last week I was sitting in a hospital room fuming over dealing with the nurses the night before, waiting to find out when we were going to be able to go home. After a little over a week in the hospital my wife is back at home, and slowly getting better, which I am very thankful for. This past week has been kind of a blur and even though I did manage to catch on my sleep over the weekend I still feel like I could sleep for two or three days and still need more. I would never complain about taking care of a loved one that wasn’t able to take care of themselves. That’s what I signed up for when I agreed to “for better or for worse”. I admit I do grumble a little in the middle of the night when I haven’t had much sleep and it is time to do another round of medicine and all that good stuff, but I don’t mind at all. I know that she would do the same thing for me in a heartbeat, although I hope she never has to. I know that not being able to bend a knee or put any weight on it at all, and having to use a walker or crutches to get a round has to be way worse than the trips I make through the house to take care of her. I tried showing her how sympathetic I was by putting on one of her knee braces and refusing to bend my knee for an entire day, I think her amusement wore off after a few minutes. At the end of the day, the most important thing is her health and getting that knee back to working, everything else is just details as far as I am concerned, and thankfully she is slowly getting better. I know a few of you have sent me emails and left comments saying that you were thinking about us or praying for us, and I am very thankful for those of you that were.

I don’t know if there will any sort of regularity to it, but I am going to try my best to get back to writing this week. I have some thoughts on health care in Oklahoma as well as some amusing stories from my experiences roaming the hospital halls in the middle of the night that I am looking forward to sharing with you.
