Long time no blog

My bad. There actually have been developments, which I will now catch up on.

First, the biggest. Hawaii. It was great. We snorkled an dsaw lots of cute fish. I liked to chase them around the coral.. I doubt they enjoyed that, but hey, better than having someone tap on the fishtank. We stayed at a really fun hotel with a Tiki Bar full of Shag paintings. The food was great. We ventured north and did the Shrimp Truck and more snorkling. Then Russ cut his heel on coral and it would not stop bleeding. So we had to head back to the hotel and drop off the car. We went to the Urgent Care place, but they didn't take our insurance. At this point, I was on the beach waiting because it was so COLD in that office. Russ phoned me to say he was on his way to the ER where they would take his insurance. He gave me an out which I quickly took to not stay with him at the ER. I took the time to shop for trinkets for my family so it worked out OK, except of course that Russ was in the hospital. Is that cold? The next day, poor Russ was depressed and stayed in and watched TV while I took a surfing lesson. I had to. When would I get another chance to surf on Waikiki Beach?

When we returned home, Duncan was doing great. More energy and interest than I have seen from him in a long time. Even since before the surgery. Then he started on this weird series of constipation/diarrhea. It's been going on for 2 weeks now. Not sure if the enema and medications have completly disrupted his system or if he has something going on there, some disease. I've got him off meds now to see if he can right himself through diet alone. We hope for the best. But his energy level is really good.

Of course as soon as I started to write this, some work has come in, so I"ll have to finish this later. I promise.
