Man, things have been rough lately. After a year and a half battle with my mother in law in and out of hospitals, she passed away on April 2nd (her husbands bday). And her husband who had a heart attack in her hospital room 2 weeks before this passed on May 19th. They were married 47 years. If you do the math...they died exactly 47 days apart, almost like it was like he lived for one day for every year of their marriage after she died on his birthday. Talk about odd coincincidences. Makes me think daily about how much they truly loved each other and how that saying about "when you are with someone that long, when one goes, the other follows" seems so true in that case. It makes me tear up knowing that there is truly love like that out there.

  I too have been sick, we are thinking its my gallbladder. I get sick whenever I eat or drink anything, some days I cant get out of bed because the pain in my upper stomache, my shoulder blade and my arm are so bad, its just easier to stay there. I called my doctor and for some odd reason, he cant even get me in until July 24th. Unfreakingbelievable. I dont think i'm going to be able to last two more months with this. I think the next flare up, it would be in my best interest to go to the ER. *cringes* Healthcare in SC bites. My mother in law died due to an infection she got from being handled without being properly sanitized and got 3 infections from it the last month she was alive, and one of the infections got into her heart valve. Makes me a little leary about that whole hospital scene. What can ya do?

  I just thought I'd incoherently ramble for a few, maybe now I can get some sleep. Hope everyone is doing well and has a good and safe weekend. Take care..
