We were next door neighbors for 10 years. We have been in the the room when the other has given birth and we have been in the woods together watching the other one's husband cheat (this will be its own blog)....
Kel has lupus and her middle child has a pace maker (due to heartblock caused by
her mother's lupus) and her oldest (15) has an attitude-- goodness gracious--it makes us crazy...
My youngest was diagnosed with amblyopia (abt 2 months ago) and is legally blind in his left eye.
More medical conditions to come, but we have to work up to May!
So many things to say-
Kel has been hospitalized once this year, so far..
the lupus is attacking her central nervous system
(brain)-- sometimes it feels like I am living with an
Alzheimers patient (I tell her this-- she laughs).
We won't even go into the fact she wears a morphine patch
b/c she is in such pain (I am always kidding the kids
to not rub against it-- the entire house would then be
loopy!)...
Carly (our pace maker) is now having anxiety attacks b/c it looks like her battery needs to
be changed- well hell!! Will it be a "simple" battery change or will her chest have to be "cracked" to reconnect the leads to her heart?


Hello. After reading this I felt almost ashamed of writing down what was going on in my life. However, if you are anything like me the last thing in the world you want is condescending pity and that is absolutely not my intention. All I really want to say is I wish the very best for you.
