Three hospitalizations, a 911 ride, two colonoscopies, blood transfusions, infections, pneumonia, have left us weary with no answers. Her lab tests keep coming back negative. Everyone wants a negative test result but no one wants to accept a negative test result because it means more tests...
And there's this...
Alex is looking for a job
and
is there anyone hiring?
I have been shying away from blogging or reading other blogs because there's nothing to say. I crave normalcy. I don't like worrying about rent, utilities or the price of food. Unemployment is up in two weeks and Alex will have to apply for extended benefits when all he wants is a job. I cry about Nicole, I cry about everyone who has already died in my now very small family.
I don't want to cry anymore.
The other day a woman asked me the "what do you do and do you have children/grandchildren" and as I have mentioned before... I don't know what I "do" because I don't "do" anything.
I have no idea how to fix the rest of my life but a job for Alex would be a good start...

Hoping, always hoping for better days. Cannot keep up like I would like.Best wishes, mary
I'm so sorry that you are so down and stressed right now. It 'never rains, but poursm" heh? Praying for you and your family.
OOPs. Pours, not poursm.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. It is odd they cannot find any answers for her after so many tests. I hope you get answers soon. Don't give up on your mom - it can be surprising how well people can come back from serious illness. Do you feel she is getting good care in the facility she's in now?
My husband has been out of work for many months. It's hard in so many ways.
Peace and hugs, Sherry.
Wow. You have so much going on. Lets hope Feb is a better month and that Alex gets a job and that they find out what is wrong with your mom so they can fix her!
I've shied away from blogs for months but miss so many people! I am going to slowly catch up again.
Thinking about you!!
I'm sorry to hear about your Mom; let's hope for some answers and a reprieve from any pain.
This recession is the pits. I hope Alex can find a job soon,but in the meanwhile I hope he gets an extension on his unemployment benefits. Hang in there Sherry.
thanks... yes, i feel she is getting adequate care after a rocky start.
yes, the recession is the pits. i know so many people out of work.
mom is slowly improving.
I wish that I had the words to say to you Sherry... I wish that I could provide you with what would ease your mind at this time...
But I am present as much as I can be from Omaha... and I would like to think that is of some use to you...
Hopefully blogging allows you to let go some of what you are holding onto... and that you can sincerely find some solace in being out here... I don't think that you have to "read" to share... if putting some of your burden helps you at all, please, feel free...
Love & Rockets!

I agree with Mark, about blogging. I don't need to tell you sometimes life just sux. Why do some seem to get more than their share? (And by some, I mean YOU.) Housing is coming back. Try anything to do with buying/selling/remodeling a house. Start your own business--teaching sign language. Let me know when it is up and running. I am trying to figure out ideas I have for a men's garmet and some healing salve---any port in a storm.
