BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!!

The hurricane's a'comin! Actually, for the most part, it's already here. It's been really rainy for the past 2 days and more to come. The scariest part is the wind that howls incessantly, knocking over countless trees whose roots are soaked and loose from all the rain. I just hope this is the year I finally get my new roof!! ha!

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm kinda freaked out but I know it will be okay. Matt has a herniated disc and we have to go to a different neurosurgeon because the first one was an idiot (shock) and blew him off. Thankfully his orthopedist and staff are excellent and got us another. Hopefully I'll be able to write again in a few days after I recover. Y'all know I'm not Christian but I do accept prayers because I think any positive thoughts you can send my way are good, however it is you choose to do it. I'll send positive thoughts y'all's way as well.

Love to everyone. :)

Feeling better...

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, y'all. Been doing alot of sitting around feeling sorry for myself but I think I'm better now. I'm having to take my own advice: get rid of some excess emotional "baggage" (Kate) and do something different in order to get a different result (stop taking in strays that just want to take advantage of my kindness). Duh!

Poor Matty is still struggling with his father's death. He doesn't talk about it much but I know he's hurting. He's an orphan now. That sounds so weird. I really can't imagine what he must be going through.

I have surgery on September 1st, an exploratory to make sure all my parts are in working order and see if that last "doctor Dick" as I call her (last name Dickerson) screwed up. I hope beyond hope that they find something but I'm sure they won't, except maybe some scarring. Maybe they can go in and just fix it. It'll be one year since my initial surgery August 18. I'm still terribly angry about it....don't get me started!

Anyway, Matt had an MRI on his neck to see if he might need surgery as well. I'll let you all know how that turns out. Between the two of us we MIGHT have one full working body! I hate aging!

Well, gotta go to yucky ol' work to pay for all this nonsense. Love to all!
