Left AC Joint Separation

first off: we're going to Isla Mujeres, Mexico

a little island 5 miles NE of Cancun

2 more days... AHHHHH!!!!

second: here are the pics

he has some scrapes and stuff

but they weren't noteworthy for pics

see how the collarbone is sticking up

and the arm is dangling down?

well, all the ligaments holding those things

together were ripped (or "shattered")

leaving nothing holding the 2 together

the towel was b/c his armpit was getting sweaty

on percocet :)

this view looks worse

we haven't taken "after" pics

b/c they aren't very cool.

But we will have plenty of pics from mexico.

They did a gor-tex tape thing to fix it

see figures: 2-6 in the middle of the page.

i am now studying for ACLS for test tomorrow (0830-1630 boo)

then cleaning and then finishing last min packing.

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

craziness

we are leaving for mexico in 3 more sleeps but pretty much 2 days.
i am so overwhelmed.
cameron is doing a lot better, but is still in pain.
our amazing friends jason and autumn brought us a kickass dinner.
i called in sick for thursday b/c i feel like i have so much to do and no time.
i still have a class friday that i CANNOT miss :(.
our family and friends have been super!
i have to go pack, but i was just updating.

cameron broken

cameron "broke" his shoulder.
5.26.08 MTB
he endo'd
nice people helped him down the mt.
jason picked him up and they met me at work.
he spearated his left AC joint,
which means: the liagaments holding his collarbone and shoulder together are
completely toen apart,
we went to the ortho surgeon today
he is getting surgery at 3pm to place a metal plate
with a "hook" (sounds more greusome than it really is)
to his shoulder.
he shoul dbe out within an hour and doing well.
we should still be able to go to mexico
that's why we are getting it done today.
pray for him.
pics to follow later (they are SICKKKK).

I'm Alive

Only 6 more sleeps until Mexico!!!
We leave at 4:30 in the morning for Steve's house
then he will take us to the a/p.
Then we will fly from here to Dallas to Cancun
then take a ferry to Isla Mujeres
then a taxi to our place!
then spend 7 amazing days there!!

for the BBQ party, i made the famous

PEPPERCINIS

yummmmmmmmm
cute huh?
mom's recipe:

peppercinis

1.5-2 jars of golden peppercini's (the larger the actual peppers are, the better)

1 lb cream cheese @ room temp

8oz crab claw meat (in the tuna section, in foil bags not jars)

1.5 Tbsp cajun seasoning

1 tsp hot sauce (like tabasco)

1 tsp dried thyme (did not have this,

used dried parley, but you don't REALLY need it)

small amt chopped parsley

1. cut stem end off, get seeds out (most grueling part of whole process)

2. beat/mix cream cheese; add crab meat, cajun seas, hot sauce, and thyme

3. put mixture in a pastry bag

4. pipe it in the peppercini

5. dip end of pepper into the chopped parsley (for looks)

* can be made in advance

* yields a lot of peppers

* you will have plenty of leftover cream cheese mixture,

but I find that it takes so long to cut/de-seed the peppers

you would never want to make more peppers, but you can :)

*ENJOY!!!!! everyone loves them and they go fast! They are slightly hot,

but worth every bite!
