I know it has been awhile, so I probably should pass on an update...
Joey is plugging along. Just need to get him eating better so he can get his strength back. Trying to find projects for him to do to keep his mind off the fact that we no longer have Lynch Construction. Still very hard for him to digest. If I could just convince him that we were interested in selling this business 2 years before we got sick anyway, plus we were lucky enough to find a buyer (and a mighty fine one at that) in times like this and that it is all good. Joey has taken a hit in every aspect of his life that most of us cannot even comprehend so he is just trying to get one foot in front of the other. He has improved everyday. His health report is great, so with that said, I see brighter days ahead.
As for me, it has now been 1 week and counting on my new meds. I have seen no side effects what so ever, but that doesn't mean the guys haven't!! I don't think I have had any major mood swings yet anyway :D! I have noticed a little more hair in the sink in the morning, but I think after a couple of weeks, it is pretty much going to be a non-issue. Now, if I could just loose a few of those extra pounds the same way, I wouldn't complain one bit!! I am also having my last expansion the week after next. What a birthday present...I think :) Looking at my final surgery at the end of September. We are planning on heading to FL for some R 'n R in Oct, so that will be perfect timing for my recouping on that one.
So far this has been a wonderful summer with good weather and great friends stopping by to see us. We do get out in the boat just about everyday. We also just bought a jet ski, so the boys command our "spotting abilities" when they wake skate on a regular basis. That is always good for a few laughs!!
I posted this news on facebook, but for those of you who know our neighbor's daughter Casey (she is the one who created this blog, by the way), she and her husband Dave became parents for the 3rd time on Thurs. afternoon. His name is Jake Joseph (notice the name!!) and he joins big brother Luke and big sister Reese. These kids keep me sane as they are constantly swinging on our swingset and just hanging out around the house. I love our conversations. Life is always wonderful thru a childs' eyes, don't you think? Anyway, thanks Casey and Dave for adding to our sanity!!
Not much other news for now, so until next time, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...

ReplyDeleteIt's all good news for both of you!! Joey - I'm sure that when you gain a little more of your strength back there will be something that you'll want to get into. Maybe this fall you could be a full time coach - that's always been a passion of yours and I'm sure someone will need some help, plus you're very good at it. We'll try to nab you guys for a visit one night soon. Love to all in the Lynch house!
ReplyDeleteSorry, didn't leave my name, the last comment was from me....Love you guys.

Glad things are going good. You have both worked hard for a lot of years, sat back and enjoy your retirement. (I,Dave, recommend retirement as soon as possible.)You'll find there are plenty of things to do and you will be busier than you ever thought you would be. Love, the Kanes.
