Shelby Cass’s Weblog

So, today…Christmas Day…2007. Hard to imagine exactly a year ago I was preparing to go to bed wearing a CPAP machine FOR THE LAST TIME.

In all my CPAP chinstrap glory

Pre-Knife (or was it a hacksaw? How DO they cut through bone these days?)

The Recovery Begins

Day 2

The Day (2 months post op) I tried to eat Pizza (yes, I was frustrated, how can you tell?)

The Day Nicholas brought me LIQUID CANDY. mmmmmmm

All I needed was my cat and my drugs.

Ah, sweet sleep…and sweeter dreams. NOTE: Lack of CPAP machine. w00t!

Best Holiday Wishes to all of you and yours…and Sweetest Dreams Possible.

Love,

Shelby

Here we are at the halfway mark of December and way too much has happened. It’s like it snowed but instead of snow I got stuff dumped everywhere.

Backtracking briefly, Hawaii for Thanksgiving was WONDERFUL. Miles is such a cutie (E&S’s soon-to-be 5 year old). We were hanging out in the hottub and he said, “Shelby, you know what?” And I said “what?” and he said “You can pee in the ocean.” And I laughed and said yes you can. And then he got even MORE serious and said, “but NOT in the pool.” I almost peed in the hottub right about then.

This is where Miles liked to hang out and ask Courtland all those “WHY” questions. It was so cute (From the other side of the room it also looked like Court was talking to himself).

Miles taught us how to boogie board.

Do I wish we were still there?

Yes. Yes I do.

Tara and I do our Thanksgiving prom pose.

I harass Nicholas

I am a dork

David has known me since I was 17…and he’s still hangin around. Suckah!!!!

Courtland got glasses and I told everyone I traveled with BACKUP (aka Nicholas) since everyone thought they were twins.

You can’t tell, but Court is pinching my fat rolls.

WTF?!?

My favorite picture from this trip.

Okay…next time I’ll tell you about more things in the past. w00t.
