Today is my and LJ's 30 wedding anniversary. It seems hard to believe it's been that long.
I don't know what we will be able to do to celebrate it. I have to take her to her doctor appointment this afternoon. They will be going over the test results from last weeks test. (A discography) I know she has at least one tear.
Heck of a way to celebrate, hey?
Maybe i can scrape up enough change to take her to McDonald's......(if i only use the "Dollar Menu") LOL!

Congratulations there old buddy. Donna and I hit 47 on July 10th. Hey, are things still a dollar on the dollar menu at Mickey Macs? There up to $1.25 or higher now out here, and it still says on the sign, "Dollar Menu." I'm gonna complain.

Give LJ a big hug and tell her "there's another 30 yet to come." Then look out for the frying pan aimed at your head.

I'm doing fine btw, staying away from wasps and hornets for a few days.
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Thanks all......well......just a "anniversary present".
Took LJ to the specialist yesterday....thought it would be no big deal. Maybe some injections or something.
She needs major back surgery.
3 discs are shot. The bottom 3. The 3rd from the bottom is, and i quote the doctor, "shredded" and the other 2 have multiple tears. They would have to take out all 3 discs, put in steel rods and bolts to the bones, and put in spacers. She would be in the hospital 5 days, then 5 to 6 weeks recovery at home. She only has health insurance till the end of September. And, if she does the surgery, she can't collect her unemployment, as she won't be able to look for work or work during that time. Meaning of course, that we wouldn't be able to pay our bills, rent, car payment, and all.
I went to my brother in law, who is very well off, and litterally begged him for a loan to get us through this time. He said he doesn't have any money, or he would help.
So i don't know what to do. She desperatly needs the surgery. I just have NO answer.
Just another day in paradise.

Whatever you do, make sure she gets that surgery ASAP!!

The rest you two can figure out, but she's only got one back.. so take care of that first!

My dad doesn't have insurance, and has to pay for all of his treatment out of pocket. Luckily the chemo pill company who he gets half of his chemo from offered a grant which allows him a few months free of charge. Maybe you guys can work something out like that with your doc/pharmaceutical company?

As far as her unemployment.. she can still 'pound the pavement' online. As soon as she's healthy enough to pick up a phone, she can be searching that way as well. That way she doesn't have to lie about looking for work during that time.

But all that aside, as your friend.. HER BACK IS MOST IMPORTANT!

Hang in there, you old bird. 🙂

LJ is still trying to decide what to do. She's terrified. She saw what little help i had when i was in the hospital. I mean, heck, i never even got a sponge bath. Had it not been for my wife's friend, who happened to be a nurse, i would have had to lay there all stinky. She took better care of me, and she wasn't getting paid for it.
So we are kind of in limbo right now.
Her doctor is on vacation next week, so that gives her a little more time to decide.
She said to me, "You're sick....how are YOU going to take care of ME!?!?" But i told her i would do whatever had to be done, no matter how i felt. I did it before when she had leg surgery. It wasn't easy, but i got it done.
She's worried she might end up paralized if they screw up. I don't blame her. Messing with the back is a scary thought.

Well.....not much new news. Doc says he will do her surgery in September. She still isn't sure she wants to go through it. But she really needs to.
Had some trouble with one of the A-Holes that lives a few doors down. Called my wife some really bad names...and me too.
Just what we don't need right now.....more stress.
I don't want to get into the details. The guy is just a self centered jerk. One of the kind you can't reason with,.
