Wow

Well I know its been a while since I posted...and for that I am sorry...
Things have been more crazy then usual. It is never dull in my life. I have taken time off from writing because I couldnt focus on anything.

Mom is still dealing with her issues from colon cancer earlier this year. Well shes cancer free, but shes not gotten all of her strength back and at times has vertigo and we cant seem to figure out why. Still physically ill at times, but no where near as bad as it was.
She had a MRI for the "mass" in her pancreas and they are just calling it "nodules" and saying that everything there is ok.
The lump in her thyroid, they are calling nothing more than a goiter. They say that everything there should be ok also.

My mother in law is still dealing with her myeloma. She has had 3 hospitalizations in the last few months for various reasons. The last radiation didnt take and her myeloma is still active. But they cant do another radiation at this time because they say that it would eat away at her skin. So they are forced with a decision about how to handle it now.
She has lost a substantial amount of bone in her spine and pelvis. She had a surgery around May, where they fused those bones back together to relieve some pain. It sort of worked for a while, but her pain is back and at times excruciating. So much so that she can not be moved out of the hospital bed that is in the house. She can not even be moved by both my husband and my father in law to get her to Drs appts. (and they are both big strong men)
She has been battling this disease for approximately 8 yrs now.

Of course then theres the fact that my son is bipolar and ADHD. Now my daughter is showing signs...bipolar runs in her family (on her dads side) and so does ADHD...but shes also 12...so is it the bipolar and the ADHD or is it just PUBERTY?? UGH!
So between him and her both...I NEED A VACATION!

Then I was hit with another freight train on Friday...We were doing routine testing for my husbands work wellness program and we were told that he tested positive for HEPATITIS C. He has had high liver enzymes for a while but they thought that it was due to high cholesterol. I feel bad for him because hes dealing with this stuff with his mom and then he gets hit with this crap.

On a good note, we are still NOT smoking! :)

SO I will try to be a little mroe diligent on my thoughts and things, but as you can see, if I am not you will know why.

God Bless
