Surgery again

This time the surgery is for my mother-in-law. She just had a second surgery on her big toe. The physician who did the surgery before only partially fused the joint thus continuing her endurance of pain. She had some trouble with the pain meds making her a little nauseated. They, my father in law and mother in law are coming back from Austin now. Would you believe that they would not even give her crutches to leave the hospital??

So, Wayne my father in law has to go and purchase crutches. I think the surgeon's should pay for them, that it should part of the surgery cost! I mean you immobilize someone and charge them for it and then you don't even provide a way to ambulate????

Well, the pack of wolves are going to do another hike today. This time we are going to Kerrville-Schreiner state park just over 2o minutes away.

We have to go for genetic testing tomorrow to see if we're carriers of the MTHFR gene. You know how I remember that acronym?? :) It is a gene that does or doesn't allow the carrier to efficiently produce homocysteine. If we both carry it it would increase our chances of parenting a child with a heart defect with or without Down Syndrome.

Well, gotta go.
