Getting ready to head home!

Saturday my sister & niece drove down from Dallas to visit for a bit. It was really great to see them. We got Chinese for dinner & played spades & talked & laughed. Good stuff. Since our new apartment has two bedrooms, it actually worked out pretty well with them staying overnight. After breakfast this morning they headed back to Dallas. My leg/nerve pain was still not really under control so we decided to swing by the emergency room at the hospital to get it taken care of before heading across the country. The doc there consulted with the pain team and they came up with a better plan to manage my pain situation. I'm feeling pretty good now and we are pretty confident that our new medication will control things well.

Which means Sheila & I are DONE with Houston (for now)! We're packing up tonight and plan to hit the road tomorrow. YAY!!!!!!! We are SO excited about coming home. We miss all you guys, our house, our pets. It seems like we have been out here forever - so much has happened. We'll play it by ear & take our time getting home, but it looks good for us to be there by Thursday or even sooner. We don't want to push my body too far (but we do want to get home). Can't wait to see everyone!!!
