Bulldawg 5:24pm, July 01, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] Mine absolutely sucked. I'll go into greater nutshell detail...lol...in a day or two.  Marvy Edzz 12:40am, July 03, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] My Mom died pretty suddenly last September. My cousin died in July. We were 18 months apart in age and very close. She was like a sister & best friend. Both deaths were from cancer. Both hit me pretty hard. July 1st, we quit smoking. New grandson, Michael, was born in August. Bought a new van. It's pretty nice. I guess we had a decent year. Things could always be better, but I guess they can always be much worse.

I did have a nasty uti and diabetes complications. Oh, my new $23K pwr chair, that I took delivery on March 15, 2005 was down for 17 weeks due to a defective seat design (pwr recline 4 seperate times).........after threatening invacare many times, they replaced the entire chair on May 4, 2006. More rotten health details to follow very soon..........  this past year.... Holly 5:30am, July 08, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] This last year has been pretty eventful for me. I resigned my job in August 2005, found out I was pregnant in September, we started our home building/remodeling project in May, had our son "Cole" in June and here we are in July! So it's been a great last year for me. :)   Bulldawg 2:00am, July 09, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] ...to end w/ the bad health thing...I was hospitalized 4 times in the previous year. I learned that I have sleep apnea and use c-pap machine @ night. Not all bad tho...my butt sore probs have cleared up. In May 2006, a close cousin, 44 yrs young, died in a violent head-on crash. KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD! My NUTShell seemed kinda large....LMCAO   Edzz 5:06pm, July 09, 2006 [Edit] [Delete] I guess everyone has "ups and downs" in life. Deaths, births, the never ending cycle of life. Candy & I also just finished another stage of remodel on the house. It's a stressful time, I think being crip kinda of exasperates it even further when your stuff you need is moved or missing. :) But we were lucky, our contractor was very nice, very flexible to our schedule and he did a nice job. The major drawback to remodeling is when it's done and you start noticing how other rooms need fresh paint, lol. It never ends... Ed Index | New Thread | Reply | Close | Stick | Delete
