Tree Trunks

So, Gary has been out and about the past two days with our family. He has attended all three of the boys games. He loaded 3 full propane tanks in my car. He brought the trash cans out and he has done countless loads of laundry and washed many dishes. I told him that it was about time he get off his lazy butt and start pulling his weight!

We get home tonight and Gary changes his clothes. He was standing in our bedroom in his tighty whities I noticed something pretty scary. Tree Trunks. His legs had turned into tree trunks! His calves are the size of my thighs! Holy Cow! To tell you that his lower legs are swollen would be the understatement of the century! His ankles have disappeared.

So, against my better judgement, I will not call Dr. B. Gary thinks he is swollen because of all of the above mentioned things. Don't worry. If he continues to swell in the morning then I will call the doctor.

Monday is another day under anethesia for Gary. We saw Dr.Quist who will be Gary's new Gastroenterologist. He is doing a few procedures that will require Gary to be put totally under. The docs are trying to figure out if Gary has damage from the radiation. Pray for good results!

Here is a nice Jax story for all of you. Enjoy...............

We get back from the doc today and I told the kids I would take them to our community pool for a little while before baseball. We get to the pool. Sunscreen on. Pool toys out. The kids jump in and I get comfortable! They play for about 5 minutes. Swimming under the water. I am sure swallowing water as they always do.

Jax - "Mom!" "Mom!".
Me - "What Jax?"
Jax - "There's poo in the pool."
Me - "No Way."
Jax - "MOM. Come here. It is all over."(he has a very serious and firm tone)
Sure enough, I get out of my comfy chair and look and there are chunks of poop all over the shallow end of the pool. The same thing happened last weekend and the pool was closed part of Saturday and all day Sunday.
This is beyond disgusting.
This is not the doings of little children. This is the work of disgusting, immature and delinquent teenage boys. If I ever found out our boys did something like that I would be mortified!
Remember I told you that my kids drink pool water despite my telling them not to.
That just grosses me out on so many levels!
Leave it to Jax to be the poop finder! I guess better sooner than later.

I am so tired. Tomorrow I get up at 4:40 AM to be at the gym by 5 AM!

We will let you all know if Gary's tree trunks grow to the size of redwoods! :)

Love, L
