let it rain

so tonight we had water fall out of the sky. and then the night sky lit up, but it wasnt from getting mortar attack it was lightning. thunder and lightning in the desert with alot of rain. it was nice to feel the rain fall on your face. i had to stand out there for a couple of minutes just to get wet and enjoy the rain. felt just like a bit like home.
the leg is doing pretty good, still there and still working. not too much exciting going on here just the rain tonight. i finially got my tv working in my room so i get to yell at it tomarrow night when the bears play. it will be nice watching the bears again.
better get to bed now it is getting late, till next time

back from the hospital AGAIN

hey all
thanks for your all your prayers, i do appreciate them. well, so what ended up happening was that an infection set in where my absest was. they were thinkin that maybe they didnt get all of it when they went in the first time, but they are not too sure. then during my stay there, the infection was going down pretty fast the first couple of days then it stopped. then i started getting another absest. this one was a superficial so it was right under the skin, so they did a local anestetic and cut my leg open. it was only about an inch to two. they got all the crap out and the next day i didnt have any more redness or swelling, so that's what was keeping the infection goin. so now i am finally back at my houch, a week later. i will be on anit-biotics until my cut heals up. that will pry take about two weeks or so, then we will see what happens. so it is so nice being back from the hospital, even though the staff there are great. i am pretty much like family with them now since i am down there so much. so pray that this dosnet return so that i can start gettin my leg back in shape. i just wanted to say thanks again for all of your prayers and support, they do mean alot to me and thank you so much to my beautiful wife for keeping everyone updated on my progress, i love you erika, will talk to you all later

Blog malfunction

Also, a quick FYI - for those of you trying to post a comment and are having difficulties, hit "post comment" one more time after you get an error message. I'm looking into it, not sure why it's doing that, but the comment will post the second time.

Update on Justin

For those of you trying to reach Justin, it may be a few days for he is back in the hospital on base. Justin was experiencing sharp pains similar to the initial onset of MRSA, so he went back in to have it looked over. He had a swollen bump at the top of his scar which turned out to be infected slightly, so the doctors drained it and put him on antibiotics. They also sliced a two inch gap to allow it to heal properly. Justin is in good spirits, considering, and I hope to hear from him in a couple days. I'll keep you all updated if Justin is unable to get to his computer. Respectfully submitted, Erika.

a total let down

well, about almost two weeks ago i was off my crutches. last monday i got my stitches taken out. thursday i was sapposed to go to physical therapy and they were going to take me to the gym and show me my new workout rutine to help strengthen my leg. notice how i said "were". well i wokd up thursday mornin with more pain than usual and a bump on my leg, right where the absest was. so i went to my doc and he thought it could be scar tissue but to be safe he sent me to the ER, where i had my surgery done, to go get looked at by my other doctor. he saw it and messed with it, which which hurt like a sum bitch, and he also thought it could be scar tissue. so they did blood work, took xrays, and a cat scan and all came back negative. everything was were it was spose to be. well, these past few days, pain has increased, bump is a bit bigger, not by much though, and it hurts like hell to walk again. today i decided that i should go back to the doc and ask for crutches. he also put my on some meds just incase if it is an infection. so ya, almost back to square one again. laid up in bed, elavating my leg and using crutches. it was a total moral buster to go from thinkin a full recovery was in the near future and now CRUTCHES
totally sucks. but oh well what can you do huh. i hope all is well with everyone reading this, i thank god for havin you all in my life everynight
love you all and take care
