I am starting to wonder how long before I end up being a danger to myself and others. At this point, I cannot remember the last time I went to sleep and woke up feeling even a little bit rested. I am not totally zonked out, but it pushes it sometimes. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, My net has reset so hopefully I can blog a bit more often now and hopefully keep it interesting.
As my last few posts have shown, my life is falling all to pieces right now. I will loose one of my dearest uncles, the question is just how long he will hold on. Another dear uncle (great uncle, technically) is in the hospital after a massive heart attack…and has been for a week. My father, whom I am estranged from by choice even though I do love him, has lost the middle toe and that bone at least half way into one foot to gangrene. My mother’s significant other has just returned home after getting three stints put in following a small heart attack… Oh, and since he will be out of work for at least the next two weeks, our finances are going to get even shakier…Yah, I could use some good news SOON.

Well, I’ve not long ago arrived at the hospital. When I got to his room, one of the doctors was in. Tommy will be going home today, but has a lot of changes to make if he wants this to be his only heart attack. He is not quite ready to quit smoking it sounds like but we are going to help him find ways to quit and figure out what keeps him smoking. I will be quitting once this carton we just bought is gone and smoking outside effective as soon as we get home.
Yesterday we did get some more bad news. My uncle who has cancer has had hospice start caring for him at home. This makes me think he has taken a major turn for the worst. If he’s gotten to the point he can’t care for himself at all, that will be what takes him from this world. He has always been a very independent, on the go kind of man. We have at least had a little time to prepare, but its never enough. I am thinking this is going to be a long rough road between now and Christmas. *starts to sing Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December”*

So, we got mom’s check Friday. One would think it would have been a fairly decent weekend. Turned out to be one of the most emotionally trying weekends I can remember.
