While John was gone, I spent some time doing laundry and straightening up around the house. I also received a call from Pain Management to discuss the results of Wednesday's test. The shots numb the troublesome nerves and I keep of record of pain levels until the numbness wears off. The results were good, so the earliest they could do a nerve denervation was January 10th. After much discussion, I have decided to have the procedure done before we head south. We really want to get out of the cold, but I also want to be able to enjoy life and if this procedure works like the doctor says, I could be pain free for a year. So, we will head south the middle of January. We also found out our renter has lost his position where he works, so our house is now available to us this winter. He'll be out by Christmas so we don't have to worry about when we arrive and how long we'll stay in Texas.
Right after supper, we left to watch Hanna play basketball and Julie participate in the Pom Pom Dancers at half time. Hanna played half of the varsity game and all of the JV--varsity won and the JV lost. A player can't play both halves of the JV game and both in the varsity, so it makes it difficult for the coaches to know where to play some of the better players. The JV struggled in the second half of their game because their best rebounder couldn't play due to playing the entire varsity game.

This morning I went up to Sara's for a much needed haircut. She is off from school right now, so she is back working in her salon for a few days. While I was gone, John finished cleaning the new tile in the hallway and, later in the day, we got everything put back in place. We are slowly but surely getting cleaned up from the tiling job.
After supper we got ambitious and made some more Christmas cookies. My prediction was right, we ate the first bunch with some help from Matt. Once again, I mixed the dough and decorated while John did the rolling and cutting out.
Here are a couple of photos from Jenni and Julie's school program.
