The Future

 I started telling him a couple months ago "You need to retire". That way you can focus on your health and have a steady income - regardless of if you get sick or feel good.

 I asked "What happens if all of a sudden you end up with an emergency and can't work for a while?" 

 They call it short term disability

 Ya a few bucks are nice - BUT it DOESN'T PAY THE BILLS.

So, now here we are

He had the ER EMERGENCY and the inability to work until we see the doctor and find out more.... most likely will lead to the inability to work under the circumstances. 

 And no income until we figure out which way this is all going so we know which road to turn down financially.... meanwhile - bills are due and more are coming. 

 Recent events had to cancel so he could recover from the urgent surgery. So, the second income took a hit as well. 

 Don't get me wrong. It isn't all about money. It's about him being sick and needing to take care of himself and not have to worry about money. He has forced himself to work so much this past year when there were days he should have stayed in bed. I think that has made this all progress faster. 

 Homelessness is a fear - when there is no income, it becomes more of a reality and possibility. The increased stress doesn't help the healing process. Then you add his BiPolar 1 and the struggle with episodes and depression. All of which have worsened due to the issues associated with the medical issues..

 I'm concerned

  • For his health both physically and mentally
  • For the finances, I don't want to see him lose his house and means of living.
  • For my health - to survive all the stress associated with this and my own medical challenges. 
It's a dark day. I know God knows, and I'm sure He has a plan. I just currently don't know and can't see what it is. Here is where the faith comes in. The hope. Prayers. and many needed Blessings.

Crazy Day! Totally unexpected events


 Papa Tim wasn't feeling too well this morning, he's been struggling quite a bit lately and today looked pretty bad. Instead of going to work the decision was made to take him to the ER. Grateful we did, as he ended up having an emergency surgery for a blood clot.

 Things went well and he was able to go home to recover. They say it should only take a few days, normally. However, with all his other complications in the same area - his recovery is expected to take longer. So no work or events for a while. 

 Let the struggles begin!

 He's resting now, still in a fair amount of pain. Not moving too much. At least he has an appetite, just has to be careful. We all know how eating too much too soon can lead to throwing up, after a surgery.

 My day started out with grandkids, and more grandkids. Then, Somewhere in the middle of all this, I had to return them all to mom's - so I could get down to the hospital. Put a wrench in everyone's plans.

 And a bit of a scare too. He's had so many complications in the last year and a half. I really think he needs to retire and give himself a chance to heal and recover. He keeps pushing himself and ends up with more damage than before. 

 More Doctor appointments for July! - Heart doctor, Surgeon follow up and original surgery procedure, And the Urineologist? not sure I've spelled that one right... 

 He's going to be down quite a bit, hopefully there won't be any more additional instances like today to add to the mix. 

Rest and Recovery....
