A word

Post by Jacca5660 » Sep Sat 22, 2007 10:03 am

Hello All
Sorry I haven't been around in a while, it has been an eventfully month or so. First my hard drive failed. That was 10 days of rebuilding everything on the drive (It took me and a buddy on the phone close to 60 hours.)! Right after that, my boys caught a bad sinus infection, in turn my DW got it, and then I got it and my face swelled up to the point I where I could see my right cheek with my right eye. At the doctors office I also found out I also had 2 absence teeth ( which I had pulled yesterday afternoon).
During the last week my Mother in-law suffered a stroke (she has had Alzheimer for the past 18 months.) and is (here's a term for you) actively dyeing. Her body is shutting down and she is not taking anything in. Hospice of Chattanooga has been helping us with her for the last year and a half. They asked us if we wanted her in the hospital, after finding that there was nothing they could do for her and the care wouldn't be any better, my DW and I decided that she would die in her own bed with her family around her.
So as you'll see it's been one thing after another for the last month or so. It'll be a few weeks, but I will be back posting again and (if Sub will still have me) moderating.
Thank You!
Jacca

First off, my heart goes out to you and your family, and that your mother-in-law will be at peace.

Second, sorry about these most unfortunate occurrences in the past month. The computer thing would drive me up the wall, the sinus thing would make me miserable and the teeth thing would freak me out.

We await your return.
