Still dealing.....
It's been a long time, I know. Basically, since the last time I posted, we've found out a few things that have really changed the direction of our lives. We don't know yet how bad things are going to be, but even if it's just a bump in the road, it has definately put us on a different path.
Those of you we've spoken to personally already know, but for everyone else, basically, in a nutshell, I'm sick. It would take way too much time to explain everything, but basically, I've started having "blackouts" - periods of lost time and severe headaches. Early tests didn't turn up anything noteworthy, but an MRI has shown some "abnormalities" in my brain. We don't know exactly what that means, they showed us the notes from the specialist who viewed the pictures and we couldn't understand any of it. We're waiting to hear back from my primary doctor, but in the meantime we looked up some of those notes (the danger of free information on the Internet) and any way you look at it it could be very serious. Or, maybe worse, it might be nothing and we're still looking at trying to figure out exactly what IS wrong. Either way, something is broken, I can't work, and most times I can't function, even to the point of having trouble walking.
Praise the Lord and pass the tax rebate...
A huge blessing is that even though I can't work, have used up all my PTO time and will miss at least one paycheck, it's tax time. Between our state and federal returns, we have enough to get us by for a couple of months at least. Plus I have all this wasted brain space full of computer stuff, so maybe I can start doing some freelance web design or programming again. Anna has taken on a job to make ends meet. The cool part is, she's the new church secratary, so I can go with her and she can keep an eye on me (since I can't be left alone). I don't know what we're going to do long term, but that's in the hands of God and our doctors right now.
And now for something completely different....
The snaves were flarking among the fluge. The grages were ranking with the shoove. All was crage in the land of Blarge, until the dargen stroved.
But then Martha Stewart came off probation and killed them all with bordem on her daytime television show.
The end.
