Hello All sorry i have been a bit of facebook whore lately its just seems easier, maybe cause its different anyways what have i been up to for those that dont facebook i will show you via picture and captions and even a video. well do you remeber when Tanner did this




Tanner Goes snowboarding


























Well that little stunt was supposed to be a staged and i wasnt supposed to get hurt but guess what happend
I blew out my ACL in my right knee, this is what it look like
gross huh there is supposed to be tissue all through there.

so i had to get ACL replacement if i wanted to run or even walk again without falling over. so i got sign up for it i went with Allografting which is where they take tissue from a cadaver (person that is no longer with us ) and use that rather than using my own tissue from my hamstring this lessen the healing time.


so it was go time

after the surgery i had to have this brace on so i couldnt bend the knee i will tell after that i didnt want to bend it it was throbbing once the morphine wore off.

Here is what it should look like witha ACL tissue after the allografting , by the way it is held in by screws in the bone


Tori the lovely Girlfriend she is got me this recliner just so i could be comfortable awwww love you as you can roxy was enjoying it.

I had a alot a of down time because it was going to be 6 weeks untill i am 100 % so i thought i would teach Kaleb a few things one being how to properly use a the ipod touch

after that i got sick of yelling for him so i got him a phone and i taught him to text



started growing a stink beard have since shaved because well...it started to stink

i have been going to physical therapy where they basicly make me do these awfull exercises that hurt and say trust us it for you healing ...liars the best part is the ice down


oh one cool thing i got to actually use the scooter at walmart and i wasn't faking it to just use it

stylin

So the knee is healing nicely it has been 3 week Tues 6/2/09 i have 3 more to go I can bend 96 degrees now and trust me it is so nice to get that at least.
im still hobbling around on a a crutch here and there but i still get out to get these awesome shots

he loves his wagon lol

oh yeah one other thing i forgot to tell you about the night before the surgery Roxy was MIA for a awhile and finally showed up about 8 pm with these in her face

mind you this is the second time she has done this and the forst time i was able to get them all myself this time not so lucky so needless to say a trip to the vet after hours gave a nice $280 vet bill added to tanners stupidity of $18,000 ACL replacement was not cool. i guess hers was cheaper though.......live and learn...if your not living your just dying. well i will keep you posted the next stunt Tanner does it will involve pillows for sure lol


Untill then keep smiling
Nate

Diverticulitis meaning ?

What are diverticulosis and diverticulitis?

Many people have small pouches in the lining of the colon, or large intestine, that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Multiple pouches are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. About 10 percent of Americans older than 40 have diverticulosis.¹ The condition becomes more common as people age. About half of all people older than 60 have diverticulosis.²

Many people have small pouches in their colon that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Multiple pouches are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis.

Diverticula are most common in the lower portion of the large intestine, called the sigmoid colon. When the pouches become inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. Ten to 25 percent of people with diverticulosis get diverticulitis.³ Diverticulosis and diverticulitis together are called diverticular disease.

Being healthy is Killing me i think....

I love how i stay healthy, don't drink, don't smoke, I exercise, and im falling apart.
I am having a cat scan done Monday the Doc thinks I might have Diverticulitis. I'm not sure if I hope its that or another kidney stone. ill keep whoever still reads these posted.

Camp Shityourpants

Here is a letter i wrote the State about one of their campsites we stayed at recently.



My Family and I recently stayed at the Cole creek campground on Friday Aug 8 - Sun Aug 11 unfortunately we had a terrible experience and that I can't chalk up to "well that's camping." My whole family every year gets sites all together. This year my site was 9 my mother's was 10 and my uncle's was 11. Saturday afternoon some people had showed up at site 5. These camp goers were very intoxicated and swearing ever other word out of their mouths also a fist fight broke out causing one person to hide in our camp site. This scared my children so badly, between my mothers camp and mine we had my 4 kids and my 2 nieces witness this altercation. I called the state troopers and told them, and then the Park police arrived. While the park police was there the owner of the camper loudly was screaming he was going to kill that guy (refereeing to the drunken man that was starting the fight) and still swearing loudly. The park police was there for about an hour not once did he exit his vehicle and also we were never question as to what had happened. The state troopers arrived a half hour after I had called and she never questioned us to see what had happened. After everything was done and all officers were gone for some reason the campers were not asked to leave. Were awakening many times in the night from the campers screaming swear words and smashing things at the camper. Also the bathrooms were lock at all facilities from 11pm – 8 am with no explanation I walked my daughter through the whole park looking for a restroom when ultimately she did not make it and messed herself. No notice was given about this and also no signs were posted. My wife and I went to the offices prior to leaving to see if maybe we can have an explanation as to why all of this had been handle so badly and was given no explanation. We asked for at least one nights refund since this all transpired on one night, something to make us use this facility again next year (maybe). We were scoffed at. I am very unhappy I know we will not be coming back, next year we are definitely going to a more private campground, because apparently the state does not care what happens at their facilities. I would like to give a great big thanks to Coles creek camp grounds for giving me the opportunity to try and explain to my 8, 5, and 4 year old what a "Cock sucker mother fucker" is, this being what the gentleman you let stay shaouted all night after the altercation.

end of letter


...............so it's pretty sad that we have such people that are drucken idoits in fact the one that owned the camp who didnt start the fight said stuff to his kids like your so f ing stupid you f-ing piece of shit. It so sad to see this hey asshole dont have kids if your just going to hate them. i guess i could see a bright side if that guy was a dead beat dad. cause i dont see an upside to having him in thier life.


so thanks for Nothing Cole Creek Ill be camping else where next year.

Any suggestions im thinking blake. ore i might just find an obscure place
