Happy 4th to you all! Please take time today to say a prayer for all of the brave men and women who are fighting to preserve our freedom. And for those who have fought in the past also.. We spent some time with my dad today, he is currently residing at a transitional care unit of our local VA hospital. It really makes me feel good to drive onto this campus and see flags flying. A flag for every state in the union accompanied by a US flag right next to it.
The only people able to take advantage of this facility are veterans. You see many different age groups there, even young soldiers who have lost limbs and are recovering waiting to go home. One thing I have noticed is that these men and women all have smiles on their faces, and the staff is always laughing, joking and chatting with the residents. What an amazing place. We are all so blessed for my dad to be able to be a resident there... thank you God.
Now some news from our neck of the woods. Bre is in California. She and 6 of her college friends are on a road trip to one of the largest anime conventions in the US. They are having a ball, and will start the long drive home tomorrow evening. I expect her to sleep for 2 days when she gets home. LOL this is a real treat for her, she has been working very hard in the last year and she deserves a break.
Dana and I are still working like slaves, I am working one week a month on an implementation team at work, and we are building an electronic documentation program for our nursing documentation in the ED. I LOVE doing this and would give anything to be able to turn my career away from patient care and into clinical informatics. Now I just have to figure out where I can work! LOLOLOL
I am scheduled for surgery on my hand on July 14th so we will have to see if I can type after that, I may be hunting and pecking without the use of half of my right hand for a week or two. LOLOL I just have to have a tendon release, nothing big, just an annoyance. So much for my vacation from work.
Have a great day everyone! Enjoy your weekend!

I hope Bre has a wonderful time and returns home safe, sound and exhausted!!! And I am also glad your dad is doing so well there and you so far have not HAD to return him to Oklahoma. Enjoy your time off from work even with surgery!!! ha ha ha
I'm keeping up with your actions on FB but didn't know you were having surgery!! Two days! I'm hoping all goes well with that and you HAVE to be able to type. We need updates.
Surgery? For what? When were you going to tell us? Good luck with everything, I hope it all goes well and smooth. :)
Just stopping by to see if you were well enough to blog! I guess I'll have to stop by facebook and see how things are going! Hope your hand is healing well.
Wow, have not been blog surfing for quite sometime. I was not aware you were having surgery....hope all went well, and your hand is back to normal soon. I need foot surgery, but am putting it off til I have a ton of sick time.
When Alex got back from CA, he pretty much slept for 3-4 days, only waking to go to work....hope Bre had a good time.
Take care,
