Christmas

Christmas......how I love thee....Let me count the ways

5. Presents of course.Taking time picking out presents for our loved ones, and then watching the looks on their faces when they open them.
4. Christmas food...candy...sweets....ham.
3. House decorations: who doesn't love seeing the trees filled with lights, wreaths hanging in windows and the glow of the christmas tree shining through the windows onto the freshly fallen snow...oh wait this is west tn...forget the snow.
2. Christmas songs: I love them all!! Christmas movies! Christmas smells!
1. The reason for the season.....remembering that Christmas represents the birth of our Savior!
I love hearing the story of the birth read from the Bible on Christmas eve...nothing better.

Second verse same as the first

Well so on Friday I had a patient come in on for an evaluation and lo and behold I thinks they have a DVT. After a few moments of, "should I send her to the ER or not" i decide ER it is. I was worried about the whole situation b/c I did not want her to go through the whole ER process with hospital bill included and not have a DVT because she had only like 2 out 4 DVT signs. Hers were swelling and warm, but not pain with Dorsiflexion and a squeeze (she did c/o calf pain) and no redness or glossy appearance. BUT I had a feeling..........well good thing I listened to my feeling.......she did have one. ALSO, here is a scary fact.....she saw her Ortho MD on that Monday and told him she was having calf pain, but he told her it was a normal response after surgery. Two for two, baby!!!

Honduras Journal

Hear ye Hear ye Hear ye.........Honduras 2007 journal is now being updated. Day 2 has been poste, BUT except for the first pic there is a good chance that there will not be anymore photos due to my computer hating me.

The Great Pumpkin

We are entering my favorite time of the year....Fall!!! It is a time of brisk air nipping at your nose, the changing of the leaves, long sleeve t-shirts and boots, sweaters, visits to Flippins, sitting around fire pits, hay rides, and PUMPKINS!!! I love pumpkins!! The church unloaded the pumpkin truck on Saturday to begin the pumpkin patch of 2007. One of my favorite things about the PP is working the pumpkin patch. Pumpkins also are a precursor to Halloween. I love Halloween. I am already thinking about what I am going to be, and what design I am going to carve in to my pumpkin. I wonder if I will see the Great Pumpkin this year.
