Bob and I first met when a mutual friend set us up on a blind date in June of 1988. We were engaged in September 1988 and married in Salt Lake City November 30, 1988. One year later we moved to Texas with GTE (Verizon). This is our story...

12 months later

Ok so today marks exactly 12 months since Bob was admitted to the hospital for subdural hematomas. I can't believe it's been a year. It's been a great year of recovery for Bob and adventure in nursing for me especially when I had to give him shots in his belly everyday for 14 days. That was not fun! All in all, he is doing really well, I'm proud of his bravery in spite of how hard it's been for him. I haven't heard him complain once..Bob still does his Sudoku puzzles in order to continue with keeping his memory alert. He had a minor set back in May with level 4 melonoma and another surgery. Bob had a suspicious mole creep up on his back. Long story short-initial testing led to another surgery, minor, we thought it was just out patient and home. However, for Bob it's not that easy anymore. He ended up having a 6 inch incision to get all the cancer out from the original incision from the biopsy, and...and I say and...he ended up having an additional procedure with nuclear dye and clusters of his lymph nodes removed. Good news is no more cancer...Good work Dr. Poettcker!!! Can I just say, I've had my work cut out for me the last year. Wow!!! Oh how thankful I am he came through the surgery, the blood clotts, and the cancer surgery. I don't know what I would do without him...my sweet guy! He is ever so patient with me...most days I feel like I am the luckiest girl around..the other days I know I am!
