I just got some very bad news tonite. A close friend's husband died from a heart attack. He was my age (47), as we went to elementary school together. He went into law enforcement after his family moved away. He and his partner attempted to arrest a perpetrator and he resisted causing Steve and his partner to fall. When Steve fell, he landed on his back on something sharp, which caused permanent damage to his back. He ended up going out on disability. He suffered for many years from depression after this happened. I think he felt useless. He was an awesome artist and painted some pretty paintings. He also learned to do magic and was a pretty fair magician. He opened for Sheb Wooley on numerous occasions. He dreamed of using his talent for God. Steve has three sons from a previous marriage. Wendy and him did not have any children together, although two of the sons lived with them. Please remember Wendy and the boys in your prayers and good thoughts. She was having a rough time of it when I talked to her earlier tonight. She said the boys were taking it hard too.
As for me, things have been pretty rough here too with my son facing possible jail if he cannot come up with the money the judge ordered him to pay his ex by October 5th. He so does not deserve this. HE IS THE INJURED PARTY HERE!
I got in trouble with my job again. I am still suffering from hypothyroidism, tendonitis in my right wrist and left shoulder, and plantar faciitis and heel spurs in both feet. My left foot is much more inflamed than my right. I am currently having to wear a brace all the time. My podiatrist is having me some special inserts made to go in my tennis shoes. He told me I can only wear Men's New Balance tennis shoes, absolutely nothing else. I have to wear pants to church, because I am NOT wearing tennis shoes with a dress!!!!!! Anyway, I got wrote up for not working my schedule. Hello!!!! What part of I AM SICK DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND????? I have been forcing myself to work, so tired I can hardly hold my head up because I cannot afford to lose my job, as I am the one who carries our benefits because my Hubby is self-employed. My doc took me off of the Concerta and put me on Wellbutrin. I have also been ordered to keep up with the Lexapro. She said the Wellbutrin should help boost my energy level. We shall see.........the Concerta didn't help like it was supposed to. ::sigh::
I worked an 11 hour day yesterday, and a 10 hour day today. I am beat and about to turn in. I gotta work onsite tomorrow, as this was my weekend to work onsite. Will catch up on all of your journals as soon as I can. I sure miss knowing what is going on with everybody.
Take care and please remember these requests.
Blessings!~
Susan

oh so sorry to hear about this mad that is so tradgic. I pray your son finds a job to get the money paid up so he does no thave to go to jail as for you man I wish you could get back to colorado it seems you have nothingbut bad luck here. {{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}
Sounds like you have a lot of bad things going on currently. It is about time for things to get better, don't you think? Not too surprising that your friend's husband had a heart attack. That is one of the most common killers of police. Due to that one issue, we are given, on average, 5 years to live after retirement. That is the national standard and mostly heart attacks are to blame. That is why I took up photography. I needed something to combat the stress and keep my body more healthy.
