Saturday we leave for the Mayo in Pheonix.  Hopefully the Doctors there will finally be able to have a stable diagnosis of Mary’s condition, and provide a solid treatment plan.  At the very least give us a new direction to go.  It should be fairly exciting on other fronts as neither one of us have ever been in Arizona before, so I hope we do get a chance to drive around and see some of the sites.  One thing I know I would like to stop and see is the Meteor Crator that is on the way there.  Hopefully we will get the oportunity to stop and see, probably pretty boring for Mary, however, for me it would be extremely interesting.

Other things, well…My mouth is still killing me, I have not had hardly any food in over a week now.  Protein shakes, and lots of Milk.  Let me tell you, Milk in massive amounts does NOT do a Body good.  I have not pooped in three days!!  Today I was in SO much pain I went back in to figure out what was going on, and found out that I have “Dry Socket”.  I guess that is where the socket that is left actually dry’s up and starts to scab over.  Normally not a bad thing if it was anywhere but your mouth.  But since its in your mouth, it is tremendously painfull!  I don’t wish this on anybody.  I am SOOO hungry just for a piece of meat right now. And I am actually afraid to brush my teeth now!  This sucks so bad! No pun intended…

Other notes, we got the Christmas card done!  Thank you Kody!  Wait ’till you guys start recieving them in the mail.  This year’s card is great, it turned out awesome.

My office is turning out very nicely.  I think if I actually got about two or three days solid to work on it, it will be done.  I just gotta get those days.  Very exciting to see it come together, also very satisfying knowing that I have done most of the work myself.  I have had a lot of help though too, via my dad, Tony, and Jeremy, so many thanks to all of you.  I am anxious to get done with this room so I can move onto the next room, which will be the bathroom.  Loads of fun for me, and it gives me something to do when I am bored and looking for something other than watching TV to do.  The only real thing stopping me from moving a lot faster is money.  But its good, because I get to take my time on everything and get it just right. So it works out in the long run.

Anyways, I gotta get showered for my english exam.
