Dad is much better

I wanted to thank the family, you're support while Dad was ill is much appreciated. He is home and is like a completely different person. I spoke to Mom last night and she shared that he's been weeding the garden like a madman and is over all much happier and much healthier.

On the homefront in Colchester, Chris has been to two different specialists who offer him little to no resolution on his knee. His next step is to contact a specialist in Hartford, Connecticut and to schedule an appoint at a pain clinic here. Does any of this keep him from living his life? Heck, no! He was in Watertown, New York last week broadcasting a Vermont Ice Storm game. I have to admit that normally I don't listen to his broadcasts as I find that I become overly critical of what he's doing (I hear Chris, my husband, not Chris, the broadcaster). This broadcast I did listen to a bit of and he was really good! I'm very proud of the progress he's been making, it's night and day from where he was six months ago. He's currently in negotiations with St. Michael's College to work with them in the basketball and baseball seasons. He'll be broadcasting Middlebury College football games starting in October. I've even heard some rumblings about a few options with the Vermont Lake Monsters. So, in short, he's got is S$%T together for the moment.

Things with me are about the same. I've just returned from a training seminar in Washington, DC. It was actually pretty good. I learned a lot about how I communicate and how that is perceived by others. There was one, um, interesting, person at this seminar, and if the people I met there read this, they'll know who I'm talking about. I just wanted to stick a hot poker up the nose she was looking down. JD suggested a tire iron to the head, but we decided that the prison time probably wasn't worth it. I just hope that she learned as much about her communication style at this event as I did.

Dad is home

Just a brief post to say that Dad was released from the hospital today and he is home. I only spoke to Mom for a few minutes, so I don't know that much about it.

He's been given a final bunch of anitbiotics to finish off the infection and has a follow-up appointment scheduled.

I'll keep you posted.
