Thankful Thursday

Yesterday was a crazy day...it all started at 4 in the morning when we were getting up and ready for my knee surgery. We pressed the snooze once, but then we were quickly jolted out of bed by a huge "Boom-Boom". We weren't sure of what it was, but it rattled our house. I looked out our window and saw a truck with three blown out tires that was stopped in the right lane of traffic, then I saw the 20 foot light post down in the median. Matt immediately called 911 and jumped over our back fence to check out the situation. To make a long story short, the girl was not hurt, lots of emergency personnel arrived and she was taken to jail after a road-side sobriety test.
I AM THANKFUL THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED!



Our house is the one with the dark roof and red brick.

Well, after all that excitement we finally made it to the hospital--just a little late. They checked me in and I got my cute gown on and waited.

I AM THANKFUL FOR A WONDERFUL STAFF AT BAYLOR ALL-SAINTS, A GREAT CRNA, DRU AND FOR DR. BOTHWELL PERFORMING A SUCCESSFUL SURGERY.

We made it home a little after noon and I received these beautiful Tulips from M&D Miller. THANK YOU!

I was exhausted and felt drunk from all of the medications, so I propped up on the couch with my IceMan on my knee and my pup by my side and snoozed on and off for a few hours while my personal nurses (Matt & Mom) watched a couple of movies.

When I finally woke up my eyes were still a little blurry, but I thought that I saw smoke. I blinked a couple of times but saw it again out of our back window. I asked Matt where the smoke was coming from. He jumped up and looked outside where our deck was on fire! We still don't know what happened but I started barking orders from the couch. Matt grabbed the fire extinguisher and Mom unplugged the electricity to our sprinkler system. It started in my planter box and luckily I noticed it and my personal nurses responded very quickly!

I AM THANKFUL THAT WE GOT IT UNDER CONTROL QUICKLY AND THAT THERE WERE ONLY A FEW BOARDS BURNED.

So, that was our exciting Thursday. I am looking forward to a few laid-back lazy days. I've had enough excitement for now.

Well, here it is---doesn't look that bad right? Just a couple of holes.

I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE PRAYERS AND LOOK FORWARD TO A SPEEDY RECOVERY!
