Hey Everyone :(
Very sad day for me. I was watching the clock at 5:20 (time of death 2 months ago) and thinking how much I miss him and how selfish it is of me. God knows he's better off and not in pain anymore. He fought the good fight for years and was tired. Tired and worn down. More so than any of us knew.
My son-in-law took me for back shots this morning. That was very hard as well since Bubba Always took me for things like that and then would spend the day checking on me while I slept. Before we left this morning I kept hearing Bubba's voice playing in my head saying "You alright ?". Him knowing I was nervous to have these shots done. The dr and nurses all know about my loss and are very supportive every time I go in. My favorite office lady came over to the surgery side of the practice and spent 20 minutes just talking and crying with me. They all remember him because he was so protective of me when we were there.
So these shots were new ones for help with my lower back arthritis pain. I saw a spine specialist when all this SFN started at Emory in Atl to rule out any type of problem that would be causing the pain in my feet. That was negative but she asked lots of questions about my lower back. I had some mild pains here and there but never thought much of them. She said my lower back was pretty bad from the MRI and that I would sooner or later have pain issues. Well that was 3 years ago and my time has come. I had a good run though.....3 years !
Christina and her husband were going out to eat tomorrow night but since the dr said for me to take it easy until Monday and no lifting or bending (I was like WTH ? and he just laughed at me and said "I mean it Debi"....lol) they are going to stay home, come two houses up to my house, give out candy, cook dinner and just basically watch over me like Bubba would have. I cried when she told me and feel truly blessed to have these kids by my side through all of this. I would have never asked her to do that but so glad she is. It's just me now...just me 
So that's my current update. Not a good one but better times are a comin'.
Thanksgiving week in the North Ga Mountains with my family hold up in a cabin in front of a river. Nice fire going and kids spread around the living room watching tv or playing games. I can already see it in my head since we've been to this cabin before......about 16 years ago.
Take care everyone and have a Happy Halloween !
