Update on Hubby's Back from injury at Work.
Okay so we went to The doctor for his back and we found out not so good news. He has two disc that are damage and they are going to fuse them and a surgery that is called a 360 spinal.. It starts in the stomach and then they turn him over and finish through the back. I know what your thinking ohh man jeezzz.. We thought the same thing. We looked at the two options that was presented to us. From the doctor He said James is a good candidate for the surgery. But he does not want us to just jump into it. We let them know about three or four days later we wanted to do it. 1. you can be on pain management the rest of your life, or 2. Have the surgery you have a 70 percent chance it will be better in the long run., 50 percent less pain that what he has now. There are lot of risk to this do not get me wrong, dealing with his front kidneys, male organ even. Trying to be as polite as I can. Other issues there were almost mind boggling how it affects you besides just your back. The have a vascular doctor coming in during the surgery too. Besides that Other surgeon on the back. So they have to have an okay time for both to have the procedure done. Beside the two disc he has a pinch nerve that: We found out that is affecting the leg that he had surgery on.. Sooo... the surgery is getting approved and then we will have it done. Stressed ! yes Worried of the outcome ! Yes Terrified to death! Yes! Expecting the best. Yes i know god will do his will with him and my family.. So i am really trying to count my blessing that I have now. And think positive. So I am just wishing , it Would be great if it was before all the wonderful holidays hit. So at least we can enjoy them together, and a little less stress. So please Please keep the prayers going for my family in this rough time And him and my family in your hearts too. Thanks so very much for even taking time to read my blog. Any comments would be appreciated.

My Family Story and Struggle.
As some of you have known my husband got hurt on the job back in Dec. 2007. Since thne he has had acl ( on the knee) lots and lots of physical therapy. Three rounds of shots in his back to help relieve some pain there. We have doctors appointments on June 24, and 25. One is for the knee. It still does not function like it should lots of swelling still has pain in areas on the knee and the back of it. Still is wearing the brace and other stuff. And then the back we have that doctors appointment on the 25. Since the shots have not helped at all. They are going to talk about more abrasive stuff to be done on his back. So we are definitely scared about that. So right now in our family we need prayers to get us through this time. I know god is doing this for a reason. So I am definitely turning it over to him. James also has a appointment set up with his lawyer to have a deposition with the companies insurance lawyer too Maybe a week later. So I know we need all the help and prayers we can get. We have never been through this and we are pretty well, in the loss about everything. As a family all we know is. It has put a lot of strain in family time and actual bonding time as a married couple for sure. I am scared for my husband and my kids. I did not even know that he was going numb down the back of his legs from the back. Until he was laying in the hospital bed telling the nurse. So all the encouragement and prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Dorothy

TO THE PARENTS WHO DRUGGED US!!!!
The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a Methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question,''Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?''I replied, I had a drug problem when I was young. I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the 'woodshed' when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in mom' s garden and flower beds and cockleburs out of dad's fields.I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline,carry in stuff from a car and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the 'woodshed.'Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior, in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place.~~God bless the parents who drugged us....
NEED A PUSH!!!
good laugh... Current mood: happy
A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push. 'Not a chance,' says the husband, 'it is 3:00 in the morning!' He slams the door and returns to bed. 'Who was that?' asked his wife. 'Just some drunken guy asking for a push,' he answers. 'Did you help him?' she asks. 'No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!' 'Well, you have a short memory,' says his wife. 'Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!' The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, 'Hello, are you still there?' 'Yes,' comes back the answer. 'Do you still need a push?' calls out the husband. 'Yes, please!' comes the reply from the dark. 'Where are you?' asks the husband. 'Over here on the swing,' replied the drunk.

Want to Have a laugh for the daY.
OKay i know this looks a little Long but if you read it . It is truly very funny. I laughed alot.
----- Original: TEXAS CHILI COOK-OFF! If you can read the whole story without tears of laughter running down your cheeks then there's no hope for you. For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili cook-off about the time the rodeo comes to town. It takes up a major portion of the parking lot at the Astrodome. The notes are from an inexperienced chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: 'Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the Budweiser truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted. 'Here are the scorecards from the event : Chili 1 Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili Judge 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick Judge 2 -- Nice, smooth, tomato flavor. Very mild Judge 3 (Frank) -- Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. Chili 2 Arthur's Afterburner Chili Judge 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. Chili 3 Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili Judge 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans. Judge 2 -- A bean less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers Judge 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose Feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all of the beer. Chili 4 Bubba's Black Magic Judge 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. bitch is starting to look HOT-just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac? Chili 5 Linda's Legal Lip Remover Judge 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Judge 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks. Chili 6 Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety Judge 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. Judge 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I shit myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone. Chili 7 Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili Judge 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slide unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava like shit to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, its too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. Chili 8 Tommy's Toe-Nail Curling Chili Judge 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too Bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge 2 -- This final entry is a good, balance chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor dude, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili.
