Vena Cava, power chair, and living on

In two days and one hour, it will be our 8th anniversary. I’m happy to have made it to it!

Laurie had a vena cava filter put in. If you’re curious, you can google it. It’s an ugly little thing. Well, BIG thing, really, but it’s supposed to work really well to keep emboli from occuring again. 

We will be getting her power wheelchair sometime during the week, this time from a place that is NOT being closed down by the FBI. Hopefully, we will be getting a "temporary" ramp….I think she meant "portable"….for her to get into and out of the house.

In between all this, I’ve been working like hell on the first half of my first class in the bachelors program. It’s going pretty well, I think. Only another year and a half or so, and I’ll have a bachelors degree, at last. 

We are both so incredibly TIRED. I have been alternating between school work and house work. I cleaned out a built-in storage room on our back porch and converted it into a study room. I also took my hospital bed out of our bedroom and replaced it with a small recliner, so Laurie will have more space, and we plan on adding a little kitchenette area to the bedroom. It will be even better once we find a small refrigerator to put in here, too.

It’s complex as hell right now, but things are looking up. As I said, our 8th wedding anniversary is June 10, and we have to go to a doctor appointment that day…figures! lol

I’m so worn out, but I’m a happier worn out than I have been.

I’m glad my wife is alive and doing better.

Love you,

Hermy

p.s. OMG, I forgot to tell you the biggest news of today! My godson Michael told me the other day that his girlfriend is about two months pregnant. Guess what the HELL we found out today? He’ll have a brother or sister born about the same time his child is born! Yup, Stacy is pregnant.
