Christmas 2008

Christmas 2008 we had Christmas eve dinner at our house and then the kids opened there PJ's and then we played Wii and had a good time. Then on Christmas day we got up and Torrie and Terry & Madi came over to open gifts and then we went over to G-Ma & G-pa's Clifts and then came back home and had omlets then we just chilled for the day Carl and Randy played Wii. It was a good Christmas all but Mom Dickinson being in the hospital in AZ that was hard for me not to be there but we did leave on Sunday to go down to see her and dad.

Madi got a new bean bag chair and she loves to run and dive into it. And she loves to snuggle with Mom when she slows down.

Madi playing in the box of peanuts

Nov 08 she wanted to get in the box of peanuts so we thougt what the heck. She loved it she played for half hour and she did not want to get out but she found out that it would be fun to throw them out on the floor.

Family Photos

I finaly got the guys to go and get family photos done and I think that they turned out great. But I will let you see for youself. I love the one of Torrie and Randy and then the one of Randy kissing Madi on the cheek.

Storybooking

If you like to take photo's and you don't have time to scrapbook them then you should check out www.createfamilybooks.com you can write stories and publish your photos in a book that your family will love and enjoy for a life time. Kid's like to see photo's of them in the book's. It is fun and easy. I am excited to be a consultant and help people share there story. Everyone has a story.

The Dr visit to find out about the Surgery and when it will take place

I went to the Nero Surgeon yesterday to find out more about having the Nero stimulator implanted in for permanent I learned a lot. I am going to go with the Small one that you recharge as shown above they will implant that in my butt and I will have the remote the black thing also shown above to adjust the strength and the location of the electrical pulses that are preprogrammed to fit my needs and they Will implant the paddle leads as shown above also the wider ones they will tunnel they under my skin from my spin to the controller and I am going to be part awake ( not looking forward to this at all) but in the end it will be worth it. I will be down for a few weeks until they heal into place. It will take place on Oct 27 2008 at Pioneer valley Hospital with Dr Harris. I will not be able to go Thur the airport security or have a MRI they are just like a pace maker and do not work with them I will have a card that explains what I have to show to security. So if you know any one that is suffering from chronic pain let them know about this it can help so many people with all kinds of pain.
