Update January 24, 2006
Time to let the world know what is going on once again. If you have noticed in the recent updates, I have been having shoulder problems caused by a fall while visiting Colin, Tam and the kids. An MRI indicated a torn rotator cuff. I went to the same orthopedist that did Joyce’s knees and her shoulder, Dr. Hyatt. He had prescribed a heavy duty anti-inflammant medication. It has not helped much. The exercises helped a good bit but there was still a great deal of discomfort. I went back today and we decided I will have shoulder surgery, probably on February 1.
It will be done as out patient at the same center where they did Joyce’s shoulder surgery. It makes me uncomfortable thinking about it but the pain I am having now makes me more uncomfortable. Joyce’s pain bothered me because I hate(d) to see her hurt. It is different when it is your own.
We shall overcome. Light a candle for me. We love you all.

Post Holiday Update
January 8, 2006
Well, here is the latest update after a very busy holiday season….
We started the season by attending the renewal of Sherry and Tom Landry’s wedding vows on the occasion of their 25th anniversary. It was a nice ceremony and occasion, but the Blues Brothers dancing sure made me tired. (I watched, didn’t dance.)
Next, we went to the wedding of John Robertson and Dani Low in Galveston. John is the son of Carl and Gloria Robertson of Galveston. John is with the US Department of State and met Dani while on assignment in Sydney, Australia.
The next day we went to Flower Mound to spend Christmas with Colin, Tammy, Rowdy, Savanah, and Asa. It is always nice to visit the grandkids and to witness the feeding frenzy that is the opening of Christmas gifts.
Back to Houston and the poodles and then Joyce’s brother, Robert, his wife Lynnette and their daughter Bailee can down for a brief visit. We had a small reunion at Sherry and Tom’s. Unfortunately, Milton (Joyce and Rob’s brother, Sherry’s dad) was unable to attend due to the effects of chemo therapy.
Things have somewhat returned to NORMAL. My shoulder still hurts (An MRI shows a tear in the rotator cuff.) and my sciatica still hurts. Getting old surely is not for the weak!!
Nancy and Shelley are both doing well in their road to recuperation from surgery and Joyce still has her arthritis problems in her back. The poodles are fine and everyone falls in love with Bobby. Hands off!!!! He is my dog.
Take care. We love you all.
