I can't wait to see this someday (new system).  Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Such terrible pain today... and yesterday.  My hip is killing me today, I am in a constant state of "moan"... well, when I am alone I moan, otherwise I keep them silent in front of the family.  hips low back hips low back, pain shooting down my leg... oh and a massive massive headache.  i seriously don't know what hurts more, my hip or my head... 

today is a tough one.  this morning while doing my morning worship, i just shook as the pain was so so awful.  well, maybe when i go see the ortho doc tomorrow, he can help me with my hip pain.  i sure hope hope hope... but we will see. 

Colton had gotten a smaller bed, so yesterday he spent much of the day reorganizing his space.  he has a lot more room there now and it looks nice.

Steph enjoyed her first day of work.  That makes me so happy.  I hope it continues to go well for her.  She would really like to get into the new SuperOne when that opens.

Lauren ended up getting home in time to be able to go up with EO & Grandpa to see Grandma Carol.  Jackie was taking her for a spin around the place when they got there.  Lauren said that was nice to see.  she was able to be up for a little bit anyways.  EO can hardly talk about it anymore. He just can't let himself dwell on her condition.  Not that he doesn't care, but with all his responsibilities, he has to be able to put it out of his mind some of the time.  I try not to push him to talk about it.  Instead I let him pick the times he wants to talk since it isn't just Carol he worries about but it is Bill too.  

Ok, well, I wanted to see if i could get my mind off the pain by changing the subject, but it really didn't work.  I have to lay down.  Guess I will be hooking up via phone for the C.O. visit tonight. I had hoped to attend, but I can only do what I can do.
