In the last couple of weeks:
We've gotten together with Ken, Kim, and Winn (my stepbro/wife/son) over a yummy dinner and ice cream. The cooling evening air was a perfect host for outdoor socializing in the summer time.

We've hiked into the wild and gone camping again, too. This time, with a MUCH better tent; we didn't freeze at night.

And just when you think life is beginning to display an even keel and it might be smooth sailing...BAM! Mom slipped and broke her ankle. We'll find out more about what sort of treatment/recovery is in store for her at an orthopedic appointment today. Looks like we might have the "opportunity" to convalesce and rehabilitate together. :( & :)

Summer is cruisin' along - with its own interesting twists and turns!

Sounds like great summer fun except for your poor mom. Give her hugs!
Definitely will, Amber! Looks like surgery is not needed - for now, anyway. The next 2-3 weeks are critical for her healing; if all the bones stay aligned, then she will not have surgery and her body will heal itself. If the bones move out of position, then surgery is the option. So far, so good. :) WHEW!
Loved reading about your travels to CA - that must have been a very special trip for you and your mom to do together! Sounds like you're having a great summer! I love reading/hearing about other patients/survivors that are out there living their lives and thriving!
SOOO glad you had your CA trip before the "accident!"
@ Alexis: yes - it was a special trip for us. And we're fortunate to have gone before mom's ankle was out of commission. It's wonderful to get out and "live like you mean it." :) Thanks for your uplifting posts and comments!
@ Sandy: exactly!!
