Been a busy week!

I have been on vacation this week, and it has been a busy one. It all started with my "prep" day on Monday for my Colonoscopy on Tuesday. That was no fun. Everyone told me the prep day would be the worst. They were right. The actual procedure was not bad, cause I don't remember any of it. I was out for a nap! After they put me under, I can't recall anything they did. So, I survived that. Wednesday, Dawna and I had a nice day together. We took a nice long scooter ride together. That was a lot of fun. I enjoy doing things with her. On Thursday, Dawna's new scooter arrived. It is a beauty! Has a windshield, and a double seat(for Nathan to ride with her). We took a short ride that night, after I got it all put together, and uncrated. Today, Dawna had a Mylogram and a CT scan at the Greenville hospital. We were there from 7Am till almost 3PM. Long day for her, but, hopefully the results will show she does not need more surgery. According to the radiologist, things looked good. Will have to wait for Dr. Kang to give her the official results, but, things look good. Do not want any more surgery for her.
Tonight the Steelers play their first pre-season game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pre-season games don't mean a thing, but, I am excited that football season is finally here again! Been a long year for the Pirates so far, so it will be nice to watch the Steelers play now. I think they are going to have a very good season. Keep your fingers crossed! The rest of my vacation will be just relaxing, and riding the scooters. Back to work on Monday!

New Laptop for me

I have not posted anything on here for a few days. My laptop died on me this past week, and I have been too lazy to get on the desktop computer to do much of anything. Plus, I am on vacation this week, so, I really haven't had a lot of free time to get on here. Well, I finally went out and bought a new laptop tonight. It's a HP. Very nice with a built in web cam. I should be able to keep up on all news items now!
I had a colonoscopy today. Wasn't as bad as I thought i would be. The prep was the worst part. The procedure itself only took about 20-30 minutes. They put me to sleep, and next thing I knew, I was awake talking to Dawna again. Don't remember a thing after the anesthesiologist put the medicine in the IV to knock me out. Pretty cool how they do that. But, I am glad it's over. Went to Bob Evans tonight and ate like a pig. Bob-B-Q Ribs and Chicken. Very good.
OK, going to go watch the Pirates game. Playing the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight. No score so far, in the 3rd inning. They got hammered last night 13-7. Have a nice day, and I will talk to you all later!
