| Throughout our struggles we did lose our home. Thank God for friends. We had the luck to have a friend with a 2 bedroom trailer (fixer-upper) that we could move into and pay our utilities and lot rent and that was it. I really thought it was a bad move but Jeff got to thinking about it and told me that really he was looking at things all wrong. We needed to do work on the other place we were paying $1000 a month trailer pmt., lot payment, utilities and minimum necessities. Now we have to pay $184 lot rent and utilities and thats a big difference of course we have to work on it but hey we would of had to do the same to the other place also. At least now when he gets back to work we will have money to spare perhaps. Glenn has gotten a job with our neighbors (the friends who gave us the trailer) he had been wanting to get and with the help we have received from different people between us and our friends we will make ends meet. Thank you Lord for good friends. Things are looking up.

I thought things were starting to go the way they should. That this would be our year. Now I just don't know. Jeff is off work and has been since February 12th because at first diverticulitis. He had an accident and they felt the jerking and seat belt made it flare up. So his company has him deliver his load and go to the ER in Alton, IL. He ends up in the hospital, with a big flare up and some kind of infection. Finally allow him to come home after 3 days in hospital there. I have to go to Louisville to pick him up at the bus station because until his Dr. releases him he can't drive his truck. So now he sees his Dr. gives him another round of the meds Alton put him on. No help. So Dr. puts him in hospital at home to do some exploring. Well this tiny Dr. sees him, pushes around on him, talks to him and says you have a hernia. He takes another CT scan and sure enough it finally shows up. Well, he gets operated on and she said it was so big his colon was coming through the hole and that was what the cramping was all about. So, this is finally solved, then while he is upstairs in surgery my oldest is downstairs in ER to get help with her emotional situation. She goes to Clark Memorial and on the day she gets out I get a reminder call to go to Indy for my supervised weight loss program and I have to cancel. Now mind you this is the 2 nd time I have had to do this. It doesnt look good for me and me never finishing anything look that I have given them in Indy. I thought I was finally going to get somewhere with my weight problem. Now we are fighting with the Insurance people trying to get Jeff's short term disability which we got one check for in amount of 110.00 from 2-18,2-29 that doesnt make it. Im not looking for sympathy Im looking for support, help, I dont know. Everything is going in the crapper. If I can say that word without upsetting someone. How do we get out of this hole. We climb the mountain and wind up sliding back down to go around and around and seems like we get stomped into the ground and left for dead.
I'm sorry I dont mean to talk like this but I was so happy to finally be able to get something started for me and now me has to wait again. Then people wonder why I need therapy. HELP give me a place to start my desert search to get to the mountain top.

Well went to Indy for bariatric seminar and Thank God Jeff got to go too and here just what it's all about. So it's on. It was really interesting to hear from the guy I had picked to be my Dr. Yes we got to go on line and read about the Dr's before the seminar, filled out our preliminary paperwork during the seminar I got questions answered that I needed to know and heard more in detail how it is there was also 2 ladies there that had the procedure before who we could talk to about it and then when we were finished we went out to sign up for the Dr we wanted to do our procedure and make an appt. with him. My first appt. is Jan 14 and I am excited. I feel very strongly about this. Its funny now that I have made the steps to Indy Louisville finally got back in touch with me. ha ha. If it took them this long just to get back with me for that kind of makes me nervous of how long it would take me to recover????? so I'm on my way. Let you know more as I get closer to surgery date. Thanks so much for being there with me throughout all my steps.
