Dwight's Surgery

Dwight's surgery went well and he comes home from the hospital today. He's feeling hopeful that Tuesday's surgery to remove the screws and rods (placed during the lumbar fusion surgery two+ years ago) will finally bring him relief from chronic pain. Got to keep up that walking regimen!

About Dwight

Dwight is a Presbyterian minister and has been on disability since 2002 because of a debilitating back injury (caused by standing up to applaud son Steve at a college choir concert in 1997, nothing exotic like skydiving or rockclimbing). Since that time he's had four back surgeries, the last one in February 2005, hopefully the last and the one that relieves the pain. Dwight keeps busy as a member of Denver Presbytery's Committee on Ministry, and teaches a weekly Bible study at Windsor Gardens in Aurora.

About Sharon

Sharon works for the City of Lakewood, Colorado, as Central Records Administrator. She is a certified records manager (CRM), a really big deal in her field, and works in the City Clerk's Office. Sharon is a member of Genesis Presbyterian Church, Littleton, sings in the choir, and serves on Denver Presbytery's Committee on Preparation for Ministry.

Kirk's Kingdom

Kirk is our Great Dane puppy, 120 lbs of love, born May 31, 2004. Since he is a puppy, albeit a giant one, he bounds around the house like a small pony, chews up things and digs up the yard, so he's a bit of work right now, but such a loving animal - he's been a real joy.
