One Year Ago Today - The Superbowl

So, yeah. The Superbowl. It's a fun day for us. None of us really take the game seriously, since the Packers haven't been there in FOR-E-VER. We just use it as an excuse to eat for about 14 hours straight and watch goofy commercials. Football was a staple in our house while growing up, so another game doesn't really do anything for me. Doesn't matter if it's well played or a blowout.



But this one was more suspenseful. We knew that mom wanted to talk to us about what was going on, and just waited until she felt comfortable doing it. Then she gathered us in her room to let us in on the testing that has been going on and the results she had so far. She tells us that tomorrow she is expecting results from the chest CT, and to schedule the EKG.

I can usually remember a little bit about the Superbowls in the years following. Give me a couple of minutes and I can tell you which teams were playing, who won, and a little bit more information for a few years back. But as far as last year's stats I come up completely blank. I can't remember who played, who won, or any of the commercials. I couldn't tell you what we ate, who did the half time show, or who it was that ended up going to Disneyland. I only remember sitting on her bed and listening to her tell us what was going on. And then starting the clock ticking until we got the results the next day.
