Photos from the pharmacy christmas party last Friday. It was snowing so I waited until I was inside to put on my crazy high heels from Chile to avoid broken bone(s)! Perhaps the best gift of all was simply seeing Linda doing so well. She was a pharmacy technician for 20+ years and was critically injured in a horse accident (landed right on her head) in March. The prognosis was grim, and it was especially sad because she was at such a high point in her life prior to the accident. Anyhow - she's a fighter, she's not only managed to simply wake up and exist, she's already able to drive and come January 7th, she will start back to 'work' as a volunteer!!
Dad update: Dad had surgery today to try to fix the damaged vocal chord and whatever else is causing him to choke so frequently. He made it through surgery just fine and here's mom's update: Jim had his surgery today and the Dr thought he should spend the night but Jim wanted to come home and I think he'll feel better if I'm around. The nurse gave him some juice to see how his swallow was and he choked up and the juice went flying.........so guess things aren't quite fixed yet, but at least we hope for a good recovery. He didn't panic so that was a very good thing. The cut is right in the front of his neck and is probably about two inches long, but it looks great........he has a neck collar on and a little drain which will come out tomorrow when we got up to see the Doctor.........Dr Edmond is a great guy and Jim seems to like him so that is half the battle. Anyway, we hope this will help him with his talking and swallowing and we'll have good things to ...
