So, I was able to have my surgery last Friday (the 11th). It went well and I am grateful for some people. Thank you Crystal for coming and picking me up and driving me home. Thank you to my mother in law for coming down and staying with Hai and I for the long weekend so I could have some recovery time.
Lee left the day after the surgery. He has been down in Alabama for the last week.
Some other great news is that my sis has been able to come home for a weeks visit with Hai and I. It was absolutely wonderful to see her and makes me miss her even more. I will miss her so much when we leave for Germany. Hai has fallen right back into being with Aunty Shan all the time.
Sooooo- we went under contract on our house this last week. We signed the paperwork with the realtor on July 2 and exactly 2 weeks later we signed the contract paperwork with a buyer! I do not want to completely get settled in the fact that it is sold cause crazy things can happen. But if all goes right, we will close on it the 15th of August. So now we are just waiting on the home inspection and appraisal.
My in laws came down again this weekend to help. Ed, my father in law, emptied the entire attic. So now I will spend the next week or so going through the stuff in the garage and figuring out what goes to Germany and what stays in storage. It is a big task cause there is a lot. Plus I have to get it over to storage. Ugh. Then I also have to go through what is already in storage and seperate the stuff between the two units we have to make sure what we can just send what needs to go. The Army will store the rest for us til we return from Germany. Sometime the first week of August we will move everything else out of the actual house, I am talking about beds, tv etc.
On Tuesday I have my follow up appt with EFMP. I had to have some paperwork filled out by the Dr who did my surgery. It sounds like I will have to be EFMP. But Lee called the clinic in Germany where we are going and asked them what the referral means for me being able to get treatment and they said I would just go off post to a German Gynocologist. So after Tuesdays appt I should know something in like 2 weeks. Once we know for sure, then we will get orders and then I can go pick up our passports cause they are ready!!
I also have a follow up on Tuesday for my surgery. I also have to return my sis to the airport! That makes me sad.
So, I am also going to work on getting Bane integrated into Michelles family. They have 2 great dogs that should get along with Baney perfectly. Bullet, it looks like, will be going to Shannons friend Mike. He sounds like a great guy who really wants an older dog who will be a good companion. I think it will be nice for Bulley to be in a one dog home again. He just wants love and I have to reassure myself that is what I am giving him. Mike REALLY wants him and that gives me comfort. Even though I know he will be loved and adored, we will still miss him SO much.
Last bit of update.... Hailee and I will be moving to my in laws the middle of August. Since we will be homeless after the 15th, we will move there and Hai will go to school up there. I think we are going to go up there this next weekend too so we can get her all registered. More than likely we will not be able to go with Lee when he leaves cause we have to wait until there is housing available for us over there. So hopefully we will only be delayed a few weeks. So we will hang out up there waiting til we can leave.
That is all I can think of for now. Life is crazy and overwhelming. I was able tonight to have a wonderful dinner out with Kim. We both needed a break. We headed to Carrabas and had some wine and good food. It is always so nice to have that time with her and lately it is hard to find!!
I am laying here looking at Bulley and thinking how much I will miss him. It breaks my heart.
