WOO-HOO...

I am officially off the Coumadin. Had a doppler study on my leg and the blood flow is excellent!! I shouldn't need to go back to this doctor unless something happens. Mine and my family's prayers were definitely answered (not to mention my friends prayers). Thank you to everyone who prayed for me.

This month...

isn't too exciting for us (other than celebrating this country's birthday; and counting out blessings that we can live in such a great country). There's a ton of birthdays though...my mom, dad, brother and aunt. I might also make the trip to L.A. that didn't happen in April.

Pretty good healthwise as well. Leg's just ok though. I hope to get off of the blood thinner at the end of the month when I have my (hopefully) last appointment with the Vascular surgeon (I'll have another ultrasound just to see how things are)

Hope everyone's having a great summer so far.

We celebrated my parents birthdays separately (usually we celebrate them together, since my mom's birthday is July 12 and Dad's is the 18th). It was very nice. For Mom, we went to a very nice restaurant called Carver's (formerly Hungry Hunter); it was just the six of us - no in laws or nieces and nephew; I think the last time just the six of us had dinner together was when we lived in Los Angeles 25 years ago - and for Dad, we went to my brother's house for a very nice BBQ. My oldest brother and his family couldn't make it due to prior committments (not to mention my niece being in the hospital - she's fine though; couldn't find anything wrong - just growing pains).
