Spectacular Dantes View

-
Image
It was well worth a long drive (a lonely road) to Dantes View. This was our last stop on our first day of journey to Death Valley National Park California. It was already 3:30 pm when we left the main road and it took us about 20 minutes to get there. A 13 mile paved road but the last quarter mile is 15% grade. A steep climb up but so beautiful. Vehicles over 25ft or longer are prohibited on this road. Please watch our short video  Road to Dantes View  to see the road.  There were few cars when we arrived at The Dantes View but those people were out exploring around. It wasn't crowded at all in fact we were the only ones there enjoying the 360 degrees of breathtaking view of Death Valley from 5475 ft high above Sea Level.  We didn't stay long because it was windy and cold.  It would have been nice to explore the area but it was also getting late in a day. There was a Bee Hazard caution sign on the road but we didn't even get the change to see any. Maybe it's because we

Feel no pain

I'm so very very happy that the bondage and the stitch are gone. I can't believe that they wrapped my whole leg for just 3 little stitch. But oh well, I'm glad it's over and it only took a week and not 2. Now, I just need to do my exercises to get it working back to normal.. Thanks everyone for prayers.

Abby and Farcom played in the water for the first time this year. However, this was Farcom's first time ever. I'm so glad that he loves playing in the water because Abby loves swimming.

Knee Arthroscopy

-
Image
This was me last week, cleaning the front yard. The snow melted, the garbage came out. I was hoping that I didn't need surgery for my knee but... I had a tear of the body of the medial meniscus and tear of the femoral insertion of the medial collateral ligament. My Doctor said I can let it go but it will cause more problem in the future. I was still in pain and it was already more than six weeks since my injury, so I decided to go ahead and have a surgery done. This is my friend Miss Marissa and me waiting at the lobby. I'm so lucky to have her as my friend. She actually asked to be off work so that she can be there for me and take care of me. She really did take good care of me. Bless her heart. all ready for surgery, just resting and waiting. huhuhu .. poor legs, my beautiful leg is all bandage up and sore. What am I gonna do for two long weeks before they'll take it off? I'm so glad though that everything went all right.

Anchorage Trip

-
Image
My trip to Anchorage with my Aunt Ruffa was pretty good, even though I wasn't feeling well I enjoy the trip. We checked in at Holiday Inn Express. The hotel was alright but a little noisy. A poll and a hot tub was nice after the a long day on our feet, shopping. Miss Rose came and joined us on our trip back to Fairbanks. Me, Mama Lou, Miss Ruffa and Miss Grace. Mama Lou and Miss Grace are my relatives who lives in Anchorage but this was the first time I met them. On our way back to Fairbanks we saw few caribou on the road. This was the reason why I made a trip to Anchorage. My Husband got me a new baby, Chevy Avalanche 2500. I love it! It was a smooth 6 hrs ride to Fairbanks.
