Thursday update

Brian's pretty tired today, and also again really hungry. Otherwise, not a lot of change.
Here's something of interest I came across the other day....

On one hand I feel like it is great idea...on the other, it smacks of "1984"....and heaven knows our government has already crossed too many of those lines...

Tuesday update

Brian is exhausted today. SO he's been sleeping most of the day. I roasted a turkey break for him to eat, but I think tomorrow I will get some iron rich foods into him.

Stephanie has a new recipe for kale which is high in iron and vitamins, so we might try that. He also has to go for lab work.

Not much else to report...it's the sitting and waiting period...

Monday's update

Brian managed about 10 minutes of physical labor (ie CHORES) today before he was completely exhausted. But that was10 more minutes then last week, so it's all good.

Stephanie has worked 9 straight days now at her new job....and won't be off until next sunday, at which point, I am fairly sure she's going to sleep until she has to go back to work. But she likes the new job, and they seem to like her, which because of her work ethic, it would be hard not to like her.

some of the swelling in my ankle went down and interestingly enough the pain has increased. I am considering getting an xray, but well see how it feels in the next couple of days.

It was a gorgeous day here...

saturday update

I slipped in the woods a few days ago and last night my ankle decided to seriously swell up. It hurts, but it looks a lot worse then it feels...

interesting....

Brian is restless and not sleeping well. He's also a little irritable...I don't know if he is not feeling well or bored.

His side hurts and that has him a bit concerned, but I am hoping it is more from hours at the computer then anything else..
He's also starting to have some noticeable short term memory problems and it has him very aggitated about that.

cool here today....
nice to open all up....but could almost have a fire in th fireplace to warm things up

Thursday update

Brian has a good day today. A little better energy level, he did have a little low grade temp last night, but it didn't amount to much, and it got hot here again, so maybe just environment related.

He's super hungry today....if it isn't nailed down, I am pretty sure it's gone into the maw of all consumption....no doubt all that cell production/repair needs energy....

he's drinking a gallon of milk a day...anyone got a cow?...MOOOOOO

MOOMOO i love cows

today's theme...

sometimes I just want to cry

Brian's ssi payment is wrong again this month...that would be the third month in a row he has received $30.00 instead of $440.00. I was assured it had been corrected ,but sadly no, it hasn't...and heaven knows we need the money to offset the expenses.

It really is unfair that there is so much to constantly deal with. and I know we'll never get that $1200.00 back paid...
Scott has no more days off this year and Stephanie got a new job, so it's all back on my head...and I'll be honest..I am worn out.

Hell, if we got the money he's entitled to, we could even get a day or two away at the beach. Wouldn't that be nice...or even to have one bill collector not ringing the phone all the time.

Got to love living like this...again...

STILL got to put a transmission in Steph's car so she can drive it to work...

thanks to our neighbor Jim who is on the prowl for firewood for us. I appreciate him looking out for us.
