It's July, well actually July is clearly almost over and I haven't posted anything for July. We spent 2 1/2 weeks in South Carolina loving on the newest granddaughter Ryleigh and hated to have to go home but reality is reality! (We get to Skype and see her everyday so I will live through it) It has been hot, wait....stifling.....102 (but feels like 112). I got into my car to go home from work the other day and my car said it was 117! Of course when I got the air going and the car running down the road it went down to 102, but 117!!!! Yeah and it felt like it was too! Major had another blood draw yesterday morning and I overnighted it to Houston. Did you know it costs $43 to overnight a spinned blood sample to Houston by Fed Ex? I'm looking for an alternative way to overnight it and hopefully find it a little cheaper! We won't have any results back for a week or two. Cross your fingers that his numbers are still down! I had my yearly check up yesterday and was told I am the picture of health (well with an elevated white blood count but told it was nothing to be alarmed about and we will re-check in about 4 months). My triglycerides are still at a normal number and Dr. Harmon says it's pretty amazing that I could get it down from 1021 to a normal 157! Does he realize what #**# I went through to get it there? ha ha It took a little over 4 years to do it but my daily fish oil cocktail plus tricor plus slo-niacin plus lots of hives are what finally did the trick! But it's worth it to feel safe from a "stroke waiting to happen" outcome. Pretty proud of myself! So all in all we are doing very well. Major hasn't felt very good the last few days, doing quite a bit of bleeding (which was expected by the way) but he is doing really good too. We have gotten 2 phone calls from the Albuquerque Temple President asking us to come to see him when we can, so who knows, we may be working in the temple soon if all checks out with Major and his check ups. We have to return to Houston in October for a thorough check and that will tell the tale. It will be 1 year in October so again, cross your fingers!!!
