Surgery #2

As most of you know, Ramiro and I have been trying to have a baby for some time now. Unfortunately, my reproductive system has not been very cooperative! I had surgery two years ago to try and remedy my problem, but one more surgery was needed to optimize our chances of conceiving in the future. Vanity, after all, is one of the deadly sins....so I'm not too proud to post these not-so-flattering pics! Pay close attention to how happy I look to be there. Two years ago I was TERRIFIED of going under for surgery. As you can see, I wasn't so nervous this time....I now know the miracle of medicine! As soon as my IV was in, I politely asked for what I call my "cocktail". My anesthesiologist graciously complied....no worries after that. :)

My friend Connie was there for support....she asked for a cocktail too....she didn't get hers. :(


Patiently waiting for my IV....


Cocktail served....all is good. :)


I realize Rome looks like he's had more than a few cocktails, but he's just waiting for me to get out of surgery. He looks like a worried husband, doesn't he?


All joking aside, my surgery went well and my recovery has been smooth sailing thus far. I feel good and expect to be out and about very soon. :)

Farewell Flag Football

Ramiro had his last flag football game this evening. The league consisted of different squadrons from the base. Rome's team was Fuel Shop....catchy huh? (please read that with sarcasm) Anyway, they didn't have the best record, but they still had fun. They're already planning next season to include tryouts and practices. They didn't even practice this year....just showed up to play the games. And they wonder why they didn't have a better record??? Regardless, I was at every game cheering them on! They had authentic football jerseys, which was pretty cool. Unfortunately, it took forever to get the jerseys here from the states, so they only got to wear them a few times. There's always next year!

Rome's team lining up on offense....he's playing center in this picture. (the one with his rear in the air) He also played QB, offensive line, and defensive line.
