Thanks everyone for all your kind words and prayers. I really appreciate it. It is so nice to have a group of people to depend on in times of trouble.

This past week and a half has been really rough on me. It just seems when it rains it pours.

I have been having severe pain in my hips and back to the point where I was not sleeping at night and crying till the tears dried up.

I went to a pain management doctor who has tried different meds to at least get me comfortable.


The first one caused me to have a migraine (never had one of those before and hope never again). I seriously thought I was a goner with a brain aneurysm or something. *I can be so dramatic sometimes sorry*
The second one was so strong that I thought I could hear angels singing

This third one I have taken for 2 days now. It seems to be helping. The pain isn't all gone but I at least haven't told John to put me out of my misery for the last two days. (I think he actually was willing to do that) LOL

Next stressful problem:

My grandma was rushed to the hospital last Thursday with severe stomach pain and watery stools. (she'll be 99 next month and she's my hero).

Somehow my grandma got E-Coli and a blood infection. I have been there almost every day pain and all to sit with her.

Today, the doctor told her she is responding to the medicines and will get to go home in a couple days. He said she has at least another 50,000 miles left in her. We all laughed. She is so feisty still so full of life and she can't wait to get home because they won't let her have her sniffer of brandy each night. She says she really misses that. LOL

Next stressful problem:

John is going to lose his job. He doesn't know when but it's going to be really soon. One of the bosses took John aside and gave him the heads up.

There's a new owner who brought alot of his own people with him so they have started to "Reorganize".

They have been "cleaning house" for the last couple of weeks and they aren't done yet. I have been praying for him to either get a new job or at least keep this one until he finds something else.

Unfortunately he is in the automotive business and we all know what that is like right now. It's a very scary time not just for us but for alot of people.

Last but not least my oldest son has broken my heart. He has hurt me more than I could have ever imagined he was capable of doing. I pray that he will realize what he has done and hopefully do the RIGHT thing. I love him very much but unfortunately at this time he is not welcome in my home until he rights the wrongs.

Thank you for listening and if you hear of any "rubber rooms" available, let me know.
