Ok, so Easter and Spring has come and gone. And Summer is upon us! Really though...we are both just bad at this whole blogging thing so here is our "quarterly" update!
In the last week in April I had carpal tunnel release surgery performed on both hands. Yes, I said both! I didn't think it was a really big deal until i arrived at the hospital and all the nurses and staff were astonished that i was having both done. Hey...i'm just doing what the doctor said we were going to do. I didn't know any better. So, in any case I have been off work and on medical disability since April, 21 2010. Today i was cleared to return to work on July 6th.
My recovery has gone fairly well. I'm just at the point where I still need to use my head on what I can handle with my hands over the next 3 or 4 months. Geesh...all this over a car accident. For those who don't know, the carpal tunnel was a result of a rear end accident I had in January of last year. The doctors determined that the force of the accident went into my writs as I was holding the steering wheel during the collision. It's been a long 3 months...but the original problems have ceased and time to get on with life.
On to other happenings -
My little Madelyn isn't staying so little! She's growing so much and learning new stuff everyday! She had tubes put in late May and the ear infections have ceased and she even seems to be picking up a lot more words since then.
Here's a little list of her words now:
- Da Da
- Ooops
- Uh-oh
- Dog
- Jayce (one of our dogs)
- Apple
- Ma Ma
- Up
- Juice
- Kix
- Bath
- Ball
- Woof
- Snake
She has also been too the pool on several occasions. It still takes a few minutes for her to get into it. Mostly she'll just sit in her float and chill out splashing around and rocking back and forth as she floats around.
