My Hospital Trip

These are a few pictures from my hospital stay last weekend.

Grandpa and Grandma with me after the surgery.

The next day after the bandage was taken off.

My faithful friends Buster and Mittens. :)

Waiting to be sent home with all the many blessings to
brighten my room given me by friends and family.

Saying goodbye to one of my wonderful nurses before going home.

Over all the surgery went very well and I have not had too much pain, although there are a few times that it is pretty hard. I got the stint out of my neck today (the tube that was in my neck) and the stitches too. So I am already a good bit down the road of recovery, although there are a lot more doctor trips for me before the end of that road. :(
I'd like to thank everyone who came to see me in the hospital it really made it a lot easier and happier, I'd also like to thank everyone who prayed for me it really means a lot.

Wake Up Call!

WAKE UP CALL: TEXAS GOV. BACK RESOLUTION AFFIRMING SOVEREIGNTY
Tue Apr 14 2009 08:44:54 ET

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”

Perry continued: "Millions of Texans are tired of Washington, DC trying to come down here to tell us how to run Texas."


A number of recent federal proposals are not within the scope of the federal government’s constitutionally designated powers and impede the states’ right to govern themselves. HCR 50 affirms that Texas claims sovereignty under the 10th Amendment over all powers not otherwise granted to the federal government.

It also designates that all compulsory federal legislation that requires states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties, or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.

Developing...

Rainbow

Earlier today I was watering in some seed we just put on the yard and noticed that there was a rainbow in the water so I grabbed my camera, took some pictures and am now posting them. :)

To go with Robert's post.

This post is to go with the last one that Robert made, so if you want to know what these are all about just go to his blog. :) I am sorry that they are so blurry we had to zoom in a long way.

Hunter Pence!

Back when I first started going to Hooks games a few years ago there were two players that I really enjoyed watching as they played they were great! 

These two players were Josh Anderson and Hunter Pence! 

Anderson and Pence came up through the Houston farm system together but Anderson was sadly traded to Atlanta and now to Detroit, but happily we still have Pence who is playing with the Astros and came back with them last Thursday for the exhibition game.

It was great to see him play again.

Mitch Einertson

This year the Hooks have a lot of new players so lots of my favorites of last year are no longer with us, but one of them is still with us! Number 10 Mitch Einertson.

It was funny because my two favorite players there were both in the right field.  :)

Hunter Pence up to bat.

(well I am not sure that it is Pence, but going from the way he is standing, his socks, and how he is holding his bat it that is who I think it is.)

Lance Berkman up to bat....I think

and he got a hit

I hope y'all enjoyed the pics. :)
