Melva's Story

Life I've been married twice. My !st husband and I moved around a lot (for ten yrs) following contruction opportunities I have 2 gorgeous (so others have told me lol) daughters with my 1st husband. I have a stepdaughter(also gorgeous) and 2 stepsons from my 2nd marriage. I have a total of 9 grandchildren. 6 are my biological grandchildren and 3 acquired by marriage (mine and my oldest daughter's) and another one the way by my stepdaughter. I seldom hear from the stepsons, but I don't think there are any babies there as of yet. I have been living in N. Texas (tornado alley) for the last 15 yrs. I moved here after my oldest got married here and before my 1st grandson was born. My daughters all married military men (that they met while stationed at Shephard AFB)and moved away. I have one daughter (with her 3 children) back in town, now, but it is temporary. I pretty much live for my grandkids, so when they are out of town I try to visit where they are as much as possible. So far I have been to Shaw AFB near Columbia S. Carolina, Eglin AFB in Ft. Walton Beach Florida and Luke AFB in Glendale outside of Phoenix Arizona and Hutto Texas outside of Austin. So on the upside I have seen some beautiful country in addition to visiting my grandkids. If you knew me back then, you probably wouldn't have pictured me as the grandma type. I wouldn't have either. I've been thru some rough times with my health,lately. In June of 05 I went to the ER to learn I had...Expand for more
3 broken ribs. During my follow up my doc said I had osteoporosis. (been practicing soccer and b-ball with g/kids with no falls and no problems) She insisted I take the once a week Fosamax. I had a reaction to the very 1st one, that caused a 'brain bleed' (headache from h---.) I had this for 2 1/2 months and 3 ER visits b4 I finally got into a neurologist that found it on an MRI and sent me to emergency surgery to drain the blood from my brain( I know gross, I'm sorry). I was kept on steroids for a few weeks(to keep my brain from swelling) which ended up causing 'avascular nucrosis' aka dying of the hip bone. I had a total hip replacement on the right side Jan 24th 07. So far I am doing great with that. I am going in again May 23rd to have a THR on the left side. So hopefully by the end of Aug. I will be able to 'practice' b-ball and soccer with the g/kids again. So I may not be around here for awhile. If you wish to give me a shout, I'll be at melva under score canon at yea who or who knows I may be back sooner than I think. Send me mail, either way. update: still doin great with my right hip, but I have developed an allergy to bull gnat bites. I have had 4 episodes in the last month with them biting me on the face and then my face swells. the Doc postponed my surgery til June 13th due to the inflamation. I guess I am gonna have to stay inside and keep repellant on til surgery. Keep me in your prayers and email me. I'll answer eventually.
