Happy Freakin' Holidays...

Took my wife to to the ER @ GMBC yesterday...she was disoriented and having balance issues.  We found out today she's had a stroke located in her brain stem.

The good news is I found out that my company is doing a mass layoff...likely after the new year.  When it rains it pour's.  Anyone need a cabinetmaker with 15 years experience?  Or, failing that a history prof/teacher?

Won't have unemployment due an issue from when I was self employed...its pouring now.  Any help out there would be deeply appreciated.

Surgery...

Late yesterday, my wife Cheri had emergency surgery.  It was successful.  Hopefully this will resolve all of her severe pain issues.  Unfortunately, she missed a job interview because of it.  The job was for full-time.  It would have been nice if she'd been able to get it as for the first time  in 4 years, we'd be able to make ends meet without having to worry about how we were going to pay all of our bills...

Guess it wasn't meant to be...

Emergency Surgery

Cheri was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, last night for emergency surgery today at noon.  Our insurance will cover some of the costs, but not all...any help would be deeply appreciated.

Light Blogging...

Sorry blogging has been so light...I've been taking care of my wife following her cancer surgery and honestly just haven't been in the right frame of mind that past 10 days...thanks for all of your patience. 

The Waiting...

The Waiting...it was very early in the morning when I started writing this.  Didn't know how to say what I wanted to say.  I've been up most of of a long and sleepless night with...the waiting...

You see, my wife is going to have cancer surgery again. Hopefully, the third time pays all. So I sit here, listening to the clock tick for the seconds to pass by and merge into minutes, finally to hours. Waiting for the time to leave for the hospital...the waiting...

The worst part of all this is feeling helpless as my wife goes through an ordeal I can do nothing about...as we wait for the surgeon's sharp knife to descend...the waiting...

Hoping that finally, this will be the last time, while the bills roll in and not much left for them...the waiting...

Wishing it were me instead, but knowing that the world isn't how I'd wish it to be, but how G-d, B''H, intends...the waiting...
