Happy Thanksgiving To All!

Gobble gobble, it is the beginning of turkey week for us humans and the end for some of the misfortunate turkeys out there. Brian and I wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving. We are thankful for every day we have together with family, friends and nature. Sometimes you just don't realize what is important until it is gone. Lets celebrate for all that we have and be thankful!

We are getting ready for our trip next week to Boulder Colorado for Brian's appointment at NatureMed Integrative Medicine. We have high hopes that the doctors can help him at least feel better and maintain health. My brother and his wife have graciously invited us to stay at their home on Monday night in Fort Collins so Brian can rest. Tuesday we will head to Boulder for his appointment.

My knee has continued to give me fits and recently my orthopedic doctor ordered a MRI. The results are in and there appears to be a tear in the cartilage. Went to see him again and I don't have too many options. The steroid injection didn't work, so I opted for a Synvisc injection ($1000) instead of arthroscopic surgery. The injection takes about four weeks before we know if it worked or not. I just don't have time before the wedding to have surgery. If it doesn't work by December 14th, I will probably have to schedule surgery sometime after the new year.

 When we were down in Scottsbluff visiting my doctor we stayed over to see the Kris Lager Band at the college with Paqui, Marc, and Zeda. The band is great! They asked Brian to play a song with them on the slide guitar and of course the master entertained.

Also it is hunting season out on the ranch and my grandson got his first 5 point buck, on that note gobble gobble!
