On the eve of ….

Yeah, it doesn’t seem like a year could have passed so soon.  I can remember where I was a year ago.  We had just transferred dad to the hospice facility and while I was going to stay, he was resting peacefully so I told him that I was headed home.  He told me he would see me tomorrow.

Still can’t believe that he was in the Army as a young man and he married my mom while on leave after finishing boot camp.  They were married on May 1st and if they had stayed married it would have been almost 50 plus years.  Oh well, the early years were good and then things we out the window.

I still expect to have a message on my machine when I come home everyday.  It’s not there.  The past few days have found me very weak emotionally.  Yesterday my blood pressure was really out of sorts, and I called the doc to have her call in my old blood pressure medicine cause this new generic was not working.  I took it on my own manually yesterday and it was 160/100.  I had another emt take it today and he said it was still high.  But I did not walk around with my head spinning today.  Thank you Lord.

Other than that, my stress level is off the charts.  I have an independent medical exam of my eye on Monday.  This is paid for by the defendant in my personal injury suit.  So I have to be on my toes.  We are not talking mediation with the other party on Dec. 21 or 22.  The personal injury suit may be over by then.  But workers comp still continues.

Thats about it for tonight.  I’m thinking it is about time for bed.  Last night I woke up at 2 with my arm hurting and wondering of I was having a heart attack.  The chest pain was too high to be my heart, and after taking another nerve pill and two vicodin and was finally able to sleep.  Spent the day in Taser training.  That was fun.

And the day goes on.  God bless one and all.  God if my dad is around close, tell him how much I miss him.

love you Pop, Katherine
