As many of you know, 2007 started off very bad for me and only got worse as time went on. On 1/03/07, I tripped on our Golden Retriever and fractured my right ankle in 3 places.....2 plates, 8 screws and almost 4 months later, I was able to walk again. Then between July and November, I had 5 hospitalizations for severe attacks of chronic pancreatitis. The docs feel this is caused by my high triglycerides. Thankfully, Manny has been healthy and helping a lot.
Our Golden Retriever had major chest surgery to remove a tumor and a rib in May. This was caused by a fungus found here in the Valley and is called Valley Fever. She pulled through the surgery with flying colors.
On the brighter side, we are now the proud owners of our 2nd home....we purchased a used 32 ft. Motor Home in October. We've taken a few week-end trips and absolutely love it. Our grandson Ryan has nicknamed it Rhino.....which was his nickname on one of the soccer teams he was on. Our big trip is planned for early March of this year. Ryan has almost 3 weeks spring break and the 3 of us will be traveling to Massachusetts to visit relatives and friends. Ryan is really excited about this trip.
Arizona is wonderful and we don't miss the cold and snow that we had in MA for 50 plus years. Retirement is wonderful! I keep myself so busy doing crafts, knitting and sewing that I have been spending less and less time on the computer.
All in all, I am hoping for a wonderful 2008!!!
A little late, but I want to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
