Yesterday, 12/4 - Rachel had surgery to correct the socket gap problem in her shoulder - this time her right shoulder. If you remember, she had surgery last May to correct the same problem in her left shoulder. I took a lot more pictures then. This time... just one!
Just wasn't in the snapping mode I guess. We made our way up to the hospital at 6 am yesterday and she was home snoozing on pain pills by 10:00 am! She slept most all of yesterday and will be again today I would guess. The doctor said the gap on this shoulder was even larger then the gap on the left shoulder. She's such a trooper though and I'd love to have her pain threshold. She didn't have the nerve block (she didn't last time either). A shot for pain afterwards - not morphine as we found out she was allergic to it last time. Something the nurse said was better with not as many side effects. Wonder why the go to morphine first then? Anyway.... Looks like just oral pain meds are doing the trick and keeping her comfortable right now.
Now... on to the Historic Snow of December 4th in Houston, TX
Wow... we had some snow. Not just a little flurry, but real a real snowfall. It started early on our side of town (South of Houston) and stuck around until about noon and then melted. We had another little snow band come through in the afternoon which dropped a bunch of snow, but none of it stuck around that time. Schools all let out early (not Friendswood!). Companies/cities let employees go early. Not that there was really any need to until later last night when all that wetness on the roads froze over with our 25 degree night.
Amazing for there to be snow in Houston and then even more amazing for it to come this early. First time ever for it to happen.
Check out these pictures.
Our House with Snow
Neighborhood Playground
My Favorite place - Starbucks....
See... we really were getting a good snowfall!! If the ground had been cooler than 70 degrees, we might have actually had some good accumulation!!
Not sure what we're doing today... but it might involve a few things.
FRIENDSWOOD faces DAWSON (our Pearland friends) again today in Football, but this time for the Quarterfinals on the Path to State!! We probably won't go with Rachel's recovery, but we'll be thinking about them and anxious to hear the outcome!!
UT faces Nebraska this evening for the Big 12 Championship on the way to the National Championships!! HOOK EM HORNS!!! Will definitely be watching this one.
Christmas Decorations - need to get them up in the house and perhaps get a tree decorated soon.
Have a great Weekend!!

Sorry to hear Rachael needed a second operation. But am very happy to hear that all is going well.
Snow fall in December? Bizzaro! And this from an ex-Houstonian. I was 10 years old before I ever saw a snowflake. :D You got a lot more snow than we did yesterday. The flakes were tiny and did not stick.
I was disappointed. Love the snow.
God bless.
Pretty snow pictures....wish we could have seen it! Hope Rach is feeling ok. She's a tough cookie!
