Happy 4th of July! (alittle late)

I hope you all had a wondeful 4th of July weekend! We thought it was very unusually cold for the 4th! I don't think it even hit 75! We enjoyed the time we got to spend with family and remebering the sacrifices so many paid for our freedoms.
All of my brothers & sister plus their families got to come down to Mom & Dad's on Saturday. It's always fun to get to see each other & spend time together. The cousins love playing together as well. Bob's sister was also up from Oklahoma over the weekend. She & I were good friends long before B0b & I were even an 'item'. Faith has 2 cousins on that side and had fun with them as well.
Today Dad took a 'trip' south east of here to look at a hay baler. We decided to ride along with him as he wanted some company. His truck is getting easier to ride in but is still alittle ruff. We went over some railroad tracks and that was pretty uncomfortable. Otherwise I am still mending at a good pace. My chest incision is uncomfortable at times, but getting better as I have tried to lighten up on my arm activities. (And avoid sneezing!!) Laying in bed on my side aggrevates it the most. I am schedualed to see the surgeon on the 13th. However, he called and left a message telling me I did not have to come if I did not want to. I guess my other 2 doctors had been giving him updates as to my progress. From those updates he determined that I was doing well enough that the other 2 doctors could handle things unless I had a question about my incision. So, if we can confirm that the rash along both sides of the incision is only heat rash I won't have to go. Otherwise I will keep the appt. and make sure it is nothing serious. It itches, but no fever or anything else. (And it arrived the same time our really hot weather was here! Before the A/C was installed.) I'm still walking 2miles a day. In the last week, I've only missed my walk on Sunday. I was going to get up early enough to go in the morning before church. I was up to late watching fireworks so that didn't happen.
I hope you are doing well. Until next time.........
