Welcome to the blog!

We are two people, one dog and three legs...well technically ten. But this is our story about going through life with some obstacles we have to maneuver and how we go about doing just that! And by the way, our life is fewer obstacles and more awesomeness. Stay tuned for more awesomeness...

14 Days, One Night

So we've figured out that in this 14 day period we will be at home together for exactly...tonight. Herein lies the challenges of working in churches and getting your medical care from talented people 11 hours away!

Well, we made the best of it though. Together we watched two complete episodes of Grey's Anatomy, one of The Office, and played an hour of Second Life (which is enough to make us both bored, even though you CAN fly.).

Hopefully y'all can give us some hints on how to use nights like these to the fullest...besides the obvious!

One Year And Tumor FREE!



So it has been almost one year since Anna's surgery and we are back at the Mayo Clinic. Dr Shives saw us on Tuesday afternoon and gave us the good news that there is no evidence of tumor or infection!! The pain Anna has been experiencing is due to a bursa (fluid sac) on the inside of the end of her residual leg and/or the bone spurs that have grown on the end of the severed bone. The Mayo Clinic Amputee Clinic tells us that with some tampering and testing a few adjustments to the prosthetic the pain should ease! So now it's back to the drawing board to figure out what needs to be changed. Hopefully I'll be biking before long! Thanks for listening!
