I am wiped! sounds like most of you had a busy but gret holiday. So glad!
where to start.
Ok A.J told us stories about his life lately. Lets just say he takes too many chances doing dum and sometimes illegal things. He is lucky he is alive. Hew was also robbed at knife point once. I just want to shake him but don't know if i would stop. My nerves are gone! He is very hard to live with...quit drugs and smoking while here.
I will have to look for hotel when we get to winnipeg for aj's surgery. I hope i am better by then. the check for the trip is supposed to come before christmas.
Thomas violently ill before christmas. he is plugged up again. Poor kid. he too aj to work with him today. thomas' first day back. His girlfriends came yesterday...he picked her up in our truck(4 wheel drive)
So it was just the 4 of us for christmas.
Christmas eve we played games. Mother nature visited me with a bang!! I could still play games that night so we did. Aj helped roll and mix the cabbage rolls. So glad i was sick!!!!
Christmas morning I was at deaths door. We are in the middle of a 4 day blizzard. Lots of snow, ice and very high winds. of course the dept of holidays(highways ) was hardly out. Thats when it hit!
Heavy heavy bleeding. hadn't had that bad for months. i was on tylenol 3's three times a day, muscle relaxers, and midol. Didn't touch the pain. i stood long enough to start the stuffing and teach thomas how to stuff the bird and get it ready for the over. so thomas made the bird, the gravy and grant did the veggies and pealed taters.
I was so scared i could not sit , lay , stand...was in too much pain. The pain was also in the back and upper leggs. Bleed about 2 monthlys in 4 hours. then suddenly it slowed. I started to feel better and later we played games.
Thomas's girlfriend did come ysterday for a while.She told me the bad news. I was unconsoleable. i shattered!
My dr is leaving the country dec 31st. Just gone! I have nobody now to get the specialists reports ...ect. Now before i leave for aj's appt i have to find dr. i guess the goverment cut dr's they were letting in or wanted more education. either way he will be gopne. he was the only one that could help me with my pain and proved that i needed surgery. I cried all yesterday. this has been such a long journey trying to get better and now i feel i am starting over.
So this is my christmas.
Ps: some good news. My friend that was so sick is pregnant. the fertility pills worked. So happy for her!



Thanks Teri!!
What happened with the party? Did you go? Did the bad relatives show up? Did they sit at your table? Did your friends go? How did it all turn out?
Sorry you didn't feel well for Christmas, but glad it eased up later on so you could enjoy some of the day.
What is AJ having surgery for? Did the check come? Do you think you'll be able to make the appointment?
That's really too bad about your doctor leaving. I hope the next one treats you well too.
Congrats to your friend on her pregnancy!
I'm sending you lots and lots of ((((( hugs ))))) and get well soon wishes!

The party we did not go to. We ended up in a blizzard for 2 days. no idea if robert and his debbie went. We laughted that if they did you neither we or our friends would be there LOL
Yes i am still getting better. Hurt my back...not sure how. The upper back still hurts. That is where i injured it years ago. What a time for it to happen. about a 5 hour drive to winnipeg for the dr appt. This is after we go to the bank and put the check in the account.The check from insurance for room, travel and meals. now because i am sick grant will try to go. sadly his meals will not be paid. They gave us $450.00 that is is. Must think we will sleep at a shelter. Jerks!! They better cover the differance!
Aj was in an accident in 97. He was hit and runover. After all his injuries(lost him many times), he had a breathing tube in his throat too long and had to have a trach put in. The trach grew skin around it in the throat. The throat also developed a shelves. He had one surgery to repair the former trach site and remove the shelves in the throat in 2000. he needs to have the throat repaired again. this will be a life thing for him sadly. He also had a piece of his rib put in his throat in 2000 to hold the throat open. That is why we have to leave the provience to get a surgeon. Now the dr gave the impression that he would have surgery that night or withing 3 days after the appt on the 31st. so we have to leave tomorrow...ahead of another possible snow storm. Winnipeg (where we are going) is called winterpeg by some. It gets horrible storms in the winter. They even have gates on the highways they have the rcmp close so you can't leave the city in storms. so once we get there thier is no guarantee we will be home soon...for surgery or storms.
tonight i have to look for a hotel online. If we are stuck there for a few days i will have to come home and bring grant back...or get thomas to pick him up. He will have to get back.
Winnipeg is a real culteral meca. theatre, shows, great dining, the canadian mint and a zoo. BTO , the guess who , and winnie the poo are all from winnipeg. I have bee there twice and know a lot of the city. i love to drive a city and see what it has to offer. I have found the dr office location. it is just off the main drive. A guy grant works with told him what hospital aj will probably have the surgery at. so i will try and find a hotel in walking distance or on a main bus route. this is what i did in vancouver. Luckily i have a great sense of direction.
we had another break. i think i told you guys the money trouble we had last spring. the oilfield was almost shut down...due to the price of oil. So the credit cards were maxed. i paid all i could on them and today we got notice they raised the limit. Hurray!! I can use the car for the room(most will not let you have a room unless you have a credit card. scared me because i did not want to stay in a slum motel. Winnipeg can be a very dangerous city. add that to i have not lived in
Thanks Amber
I hope you are feeling well these days!
Wow..you have a lot to face!!
I hope all goes well for all of you!
When Grant's not looking, lock those doors!!!
He's right in that it's not the good people he needs to be concerned about,
it's all the rest of the people and there's too many of the
other kind out there...everywhere!!
