Just conversation

We have got the coach as we want it, although, the kitchen cabinets need some tweaking. But it is quite livable.

We are moving the coach over to Rayford Crossing on Wednesday, the same day Becky, Fred and Lindsay come here for Christmas. We are really looking forward to seeing them. They will be here for 11 days.

Val has had a lot of trouble with her right shoulder over the last few years and it has gotten progressively worse in the last few months.
Many years ago, she fell and broke her right arm and as I recall, dislocated her right elbow. That all healed nicely with what appeared as no ill affects. But as time went on she developed more pain and restricted movement in her right shoulder.
Tuesday she had surgery on that arm. The doctor said the damage to her Rotator cuff and tendon, which holds her biceps, were much worse than he had anticipated. She is in an immobilizing sling and she said her doctor expects the recovery time to be about 6 months.
We are really happy that she went with the surgery, now she is moving toward recovery.
Val and Tony have graciously offered their house to celebrate Christmas as they have the largest home. She will have to just kickback this Christmas season and let the others do. It will be very hard for her, as she likes to be in the middle of all of the preparations. But, she won't be physically able to.

We are meeting Ted and Donna tonight for dinner and a show at the Texas Opry. We really enjoy the shows there. They are so much fun. This is the last of 3 Christmas shows.
Donna had her last cataract surgery done on Thursday. I hope she does as well as I did with my cataract surgery.
They are spending Christmas in Florida with their children. They are leaving on Monday, after Donna's follow-up appt. with her eye doctor.

I probably will not post again until after Christmas.
Brenda and I want to wish all of those that follow our blog, a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Ta ta for now
