Am I Still Welcome In Your Inbox??

I feel like a stranger to Murphy's Mom Blog these days......it's been EONS since I've written and I'm not really sure why.   But I miss talking to you.......sharing all the crazy things that seem to happen daily in my life.  I hope I'm still welcome in your inbox!

Just to catch you up to speed........so far this year, we have spent no less than 98 days (maybe a "slight" exaggeration) in doctors offices or hospitals.  When you're married to a man with Multiple Sclerosis, you become used to the unexpected.

A couple months ago, we went to Dallas for Chuck's routine dermatology appointment and left 5 days later after a stay in the hospital for congestive heart failure.   The fact we live 2 hours away; brought no extra clothes, no laptop, no cell chargers and my husband has not yet learned what the big red letters that say "NURSE" on the hospital bed remote control means, I was parked in a hospital room staring out a window with a view of a wall for 5 days.  But crazy as it sounds, these no laptop, cell chargers or views times have been some of the best times we've spent together.  No "pings" from the cell....no "ding dongs" from emails.....

We plan on taking our next vacation to St. Paul Hospital in the Fall.

Hospital stay behind us, we could now concentrate on the skin cancer growing on the top of his head.  So, a few weeks ago, he had a Mose Surgery to remove the basil cell growing in place of hair on his head.  One of the benefits of being bald, I guess.  And being that I'm the "Skin Cancer Queen" and had numerous Mose surgeries myself, I kept telling him it was no big deal...you won't even see where they cut.  Chuck was convinced he was having "brain surgery".  Turns out, they left a HOLE in my hubby's head the size of a quarter.....actually, the size of a cork.  I "think" I could actually see his brain when he would take the cork out.  I would beg him to put it back in......

So his son, Troy, provided him with an alternative to the cork by buying him a hat with hair.....which I LOVE!  And because I keep telling him how "HOT" he looks with his new "Hair Hat", he wears it everywhere.  EVERYWHERE.  While at the eye doctor last week, she had to ask him to "Please remove his hair" before she could test his eyes. 

Life is always interesting with this wonderful man.......he rarely complains.....he wears a hat with hair on it cause I love it......and he whispers, ever so quietly, sweet things in my ear first thing in the morning "Liz....Liz.....what's the password to my computer?"
