Hanging On Still.

In almost every part of the world, the Dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. The change that is often referred to has its source in mental and emotional maturity and understanding the deeper meaning of life.

 Well, Winter is trying to turn into summer, it's hot one day, cold the next. Not normal.... We did get a cool storm the other night, with lightning and thunder; Hard down pour of rain too. 

I'm getting really tired of the cold it makes My bones ache. 

UPDATE ON PAPA ~

 We have an appointment with the Surgeon, for the initial consultation... it's only a couple weeks away rather than months! Thank you Lord. I really was worried at how far out this one would be.

I don't have all the answers of how - yet, still just taking it all one day at a time. Retirement - is looking the best option, for being able to heal, rest and take it easy. Especially since we don't know what's next health wise. Plus** it would mean keeping a steady income and getting a lot of bills paid off and out of the way while we go through this. 

You heal better with less stress. 

I have managed to all but quit smoking. It's been a steady on and off battle for the last few months, but the front line has been the last couple weeks. The final dentist appointment has removed all that they are taking out for teeth. I won't be talking much for a while. . . Now my mouth gets ready for the new partials. This part takes a while waiting to heal and dang my mouth feels weird. Losing lots of weight not being able to eat. So, Hopefully new teeth before my birthday! 

SUMMER BBQ'S

Can't eat and we have Memorial Day coming up! I have a Granddaughter with a birthday that weekend, as well......  We all still remember the camping trip the weekend she was born 21 years ago! Oh the memories!

Yikes! My world just turned upside down.

 

13 months ago - what was supposed to be a 20 minute colonoscopy turned out to be 1 hour and 15 minutes of hell. 

They found cancerous polyps, as well as a big blood clot and some other issues. He felt better for a while, but - None of this cured the internal and external hemorrhoids, which have continued to bleed off and on for the last year. 

His mental health and quality of life have diminished with this, He misses 1 to 2 days a week from work when it's so bad he can hardly sit stand or walk. He's lost weight, lost an appetite. {I think he avoids eating to avoid going to the bathroom}. I can see the pain in his face, he can't even lie about it anymore. He pretends he's ok, when he's sitting funny or walking weird.

Several months ago he called his doctor for an appointment that finally happened TODAY. The appointment took about 15 maybe 20 minutes and he was back out to the car. Doctor said it was bad and gave him a referral to a surgeon..... That's it. No explanation of WHAT is going on, NO note to say he should or shouldn't work, if he should be taking it easy - nothing.

We called to schedule the surgery consultation and had to leave a message. About all we know at this moment is basic surgery recovery takes about 4 to 8 weeks if everything goes well and they 'don't find anything else'.....

We still don't even know the WHAT yet.

Little bit worried tonight. I hope we don't have to wait months for the appointment with the surgeon!!!!! The situation has gotten worse for him the past year. He needs to know the WHAT'S WRONG and to HEAL.

My world is turning upside down, 

All plans have been halted and rearranged and changed...

His health first - help figure out the bills second - back to life third

There is no compensation at this point to cover the wages that are going to be lost. I have to find 2 months worth of $$ to make up for what's going to be lost.

On line sales commissions and party sales help, hopefully the events this summer will prove successful as well. . . This one might take a little work to figure out.. Lots of prayers, a little luck wouldn't hurt..

Blessed by God
