Richards discogram

We went to the hospital today for Richard to have a discogram, I had never heard of such a thing, but basically it meant they stuck rods and then needles into his spine, BIG needles from his hip over to his spine into the disc, then they inject dye and try to recreate the pain he is having so they can decide what is causing it and how to treat it. They told us it would hurt, but it was supposed to be over (the painful part) in about 5 minutes, so the whole thing is supposed to take about an hour, well after I had been waiting for him for an hour and a half they brought him out and said it did not go well, they had a terrible time getting the third needle in, the "painful" part took 45 minutes, he was grey, shaking and looking terrible when I saw him. Usually they keep you for an hour after for observation, but the doctor wanted him to stay three to make sure he was okay, his blood pressure got very high and we could not get his pain under control afterwards. They gave him two shots of fentynal, two lortabs, a valium, and his pain was still not going down, they finally added some toradol and it was bearable though not gone. We have to see his Nuro-surgeon (who ordered the tests next week) for the full results, but this doctor did tell us they found a biladeral tear in one disk and the bottom was was "just a mess" as he put it.
The dye spread out all over after they put it in. He says this is on the top three things to never do!!!! He really handles pain well so for him to say it was almost unbearable says a lot.
I have him home resting now, he cannot go back to work until after tomorrow (his birthday no less) even resting in our nice bed he is having trouble getting comfortable. I hope we will get some options now that will help make it better for him, his original injury that most likely started all this was 13 years ago so he has been living with it for a very long time.
Clint have you ever heard of this procedure? I would be interested to hear what you know about it.

Girls Day

The girls and I went to the Wizard of Oz museum today, I have wanted to go since we got here and just have not gotten there, so today we did, they enjoyed it. We had lunch afterward and then took the scenic way home, driving threw Alma the old "stone town" where everything was originaly built from the local stones, there are some gorgeous big old houses there similair to the Valley House, we stopped by a spot from the "Mormon Trail" where the pioneers passed by, it is still maked by a wood sign you can barely read anymore.The girls at the museum

Crater Lake Oregon

Richard's sister took us up to Crater Lake today, it was so gorgeous, even though there is no snow in town it was well over the car when we got to the lake, most of the buildings are still completely covered, I would love to come back and see it in the summer now, here are a couple pictures so you can sort of see how pretty it is.

We are having a great time in Oregon, today we went on a hike, absolutely gorgeous scenery, we hiked up to see a big foot trap, I guess some guy built it in 1974 after seeing tracks, no big foot was caught, but some bears were I guess. I had never heard of a big foot trap, so it was a fun outing.

It is looking good!!

I am sure you all have heard from Colt, but I thought I would put the good news here too. We will be moving back to Utah in June. Colt goes to recruiting school the 7th of July and will graduate the 28th of August then he will be joining us in Utah. We have a house to rent, barring we can get enough money saved to move by June. The military won't move us because Colt won't have his orders until he is done with school. If we wait until then we will lose the house. The house is in the neighborhood we used to live in, so you see why we can't and don't want too wait.
We are all just praying things work out. I am sure things will change so we will keep you all posted.

I celabrated 2 things 2day i celebrated a students b-day and saint paktrises day Staci Amanda Jones

Rich

OK I do not talk all that much but here I go ( Edi Says I should) I am 42ish extremely proud to be maried, wow didn'tI get lucky. I think that in relationships it is very special for " her to be my best friend" Ok mushy stuff is over , Edi and I are building a great life together. I know very well that she has a large family compared to mine, communication with you guys is great. I am sure you will all like my side 2 bro's and a sis' (yep I am the youngest) I would like to thank Marjorie, Nichol, EJ and Amber for making their way here for our day. I do think for the kids Steve will always be a big part in their lives, I would never jepordize that. I am a proud stepfather and I certainaly would never attempt to compromise his integrity. Anyways as Clint and EJ should know I am really easy going. Some day soon I will retire from the Army, one thing though will never change. Edi is my Angel!!

To my brother in arms Semper Fidelis

Just life

Well life is preatty crazy right now and it doesnt seem to want to go the way i want it to. I am dying to be with Daniel right now, this whole long distance thing just is a lot harder than I anticipated. Its justnot working. I hate having my family split up like this. Im just torn. I know that being here seemed like the right thing to do at the time but without him here it feels so pointless.

wedding update

An update on the wedding reception, it looks like we are going to move it to Texas, Richards brother has a nice place down there and his sister is in the process of moving there, since she was the one helping us plan it all and it will be difficult for her to get back to Oregon we have decided to move it, now we are looking at hotel options for people traveling in, his brother is seeing if we can get any kind of group discount.

Hello Everyone
