Yesterday was the 1st day  that I felt  really great  as far as my  spirits ..   I really  don’t know what it was maybe a slight  bite of depression  I really  don’t know  but I do know I hated feeling  so yucky .. But what ever  it was it seemed to lift  yesterday  morning  so much so That I  took Jessie  to school and even picked her up  maybe it is just getting back in the swing of things I don’t know  but I hope  and Pray it  continues …  I  thought I  would share  with you my X ray  of my knee  that I got   at the Dr. Office   Wednesday morning   Both  Xrays  are  of my new knee  one is of my knee bent  and one is of  it  straight   sooo cool  huh?  My new  left knee is different  than my  right knee that I had done  18 months ago .. same procedure But  I got the  latest and greatest knee out right now  its called a female knee  suppose to  curve and fit in place much better for women  and actually we didn’t know which one  he was going to  put in until he got in there  to see if it would be better for me ..  and it  fits awesome  so I  got  it ..  Here is what my  right knee  X ray looked like from  Dec 2005  and you can tell there is a big  difference  between them  huh? YUP that’s Dr Nicholas my knee doctor ..  and  the best Part is that he is a Christian  man .. anyway  this photo was already in the  scrapbook I mentioned a few days ago that my  Friend Susan  sent me  so I  couldn’t  take the photo  off the page  so thats why  you  got the page  too ..   sooo awesome huh?  I  think it looks like something out a  science fiction  book or something .. the leg on the  right is my  leg That I just now got  done .. Ok  so since you seen the inside of my knee  this is what my knee looks like on the outside  as of  Wednesday  evening ..  Yup No bruises  and  the swelling  is coming  down  slowly but  surely .. The  hardest part for me  right now is  to walk  with my upper body  straight   DR . N and Todd ( my  therapist) both said  that  since I have walked   for  so long with a limp  my body wants to keep walking like this .. so  now when I walk I have to literally  think  keep upper  body straight .. Man I feel so Much taller.. NO kidding .. I feel like I am  learning to walk all over again .. funny huh? 

I talked to Hubby last night and  please keep praying for him  he is have a  very hard time sleeping over there  and has  had a  migraine  headache for 5 days now,  probably  due to NO sleep. He is missing us as much as we are missing him ..  It makes me  sooo sad  words cant  express  how   much we miss him ..   I  just can not even imagine how  alone he  feels over there .. He has not made many friends over there  since most of the guys  work during the day that sleep in his tent  and   most are  from other countries  and don’t speak  English  to well anyway .. When he is "trying " to sleep  everyone  keeps  running in and out of the tent  and   also shutting off the  air conditioner  especially since it has been 115 degrees there now during the day  and  everything  gets  over  surged  and have to shut  the generators  down  during the day  so this means a  very very hot tent  for  hubby  during the day when he is  " trying" to sleep  so please keep him in your prayers .. all this week I have  been sending out   boxes of cards  so far I have sent him 4 more  boxes  this week . He told me  the other day he was at the PX and  he was behind 2 marines  at the checkout and both were  buying  a card  for their wife and Rich  told  them to go  put the cards back and to  follow him  that he had  something  for them ..  they went back to his tent and he gave them a some of cards  for them and their  friends.. Rich  said the  guys almost started crying  they loved them sooo much and couldn’t wait to get back to  give them all out .. WOW  YOU  all made this happen girls .. you all are sooo GREAT!!!
