Our November

This month has been a crazy one. My poor husband has been working like crazy, putting a together his first power point presentation for his Captain, taking classes, doing training, and on top of that getting 2 S.W.A.T call outs this month alone. Below are some pictures that were included in the power point. They show how tall the big ladder on the truck goes. It's crazy high!!
As for myself, I've had a few biopsies. One on a mole on my back with luckily came back as just being very Atypical (non melanoma) but something I did not know was that I guess my back is a bit sensitive when it comes to bandages...I learned that finally after a few days of wearing them and had to switch to paper tape and endure the irritation of what the bandages did to my skin in that area. It's been fun... The other biopsy was on my foot. Most of you know the back story on my foot, as it's been an ongoing problem for about 8 years now. After the failure of many, many different treatments my Dr. wanted to make sure that what we were dealing with was was he's been treating for. He decided that my foot needed a biopsy so I have a small hole in my heel. It brings back so many memories and similar pain of when I had a much larger hole in my foot from trying to cut the thing out about a year and a half ago. Needless to say, it doesn't feel good but ya gotta do what ya gotta do and am hopeful that by doing this it will help my heel get better.
Cody has been adjusting to Kindergarten and lately has been doing very well. He had a ruff start but now loves his teacher and has made lots of new friends. It's fun to hear all the kids say good bye to each other as they leave. We are glad things are going much better and he doesn't even complain about homework or reading assignments!
My heel. You can actually see the indentation where the hole is on this picture
My back wound. This one was a lot bigger and painful than anticipated.

How would you like to climb this ladder?

It's a long way down!!
In the academy they have to climb this ladder as it stands straight up, lock their legs in and lean backwards...scary!!
