I have been so lost without my computer, it is like my best friend, what in the world did I do before it came into my life. SMILE. Things here are about the same though, I went today for my CTScans and chest x-ray I get the results Friday but I know they will be fine. Mom is doing well still. She really has begun to feel like the NH is home to her although she still wants to leave whenever I am around. The family is all doing great too, expecting another grand-child has helped me get in gear and finish some painting and remodeling. I am converting a small office area into a nursery since Robert and Crystal are still here, by the way, he has surgery on his shoulder again tomorrow, hopefully he’ll get relief this time.

March 9th
It is 5:00 a.m. and here I am, couldn't sleep last night for anything, guess I was thinking about Robert's surgery today. I certainly do hope this helps his shoulder this time. He is so worried about being on disability with a new baby on the way and all the expenses involved.

I got the results of my tests, I AM TOTALLY CANCER FREE!!!!!!! The doctor said I am good to go now for a long time. I can't explain how good this news was in comparison to the last time, this makes it real I guess, I don't know. I even went out tonight for awhile. I met up with David and Melody,we had a few drinks and I danced with David, it was great. Robert wasn't feeling up to going anywhere yet so they stayed home and relaxed.

I have been so busy getting a new program for AD off the ground that I haven't been able to keep up with updating my journal, for this I am sorry. There really isn't much new around here, same s--t same flies, SMILE. Crystal had her first pre-natal appointment today and everything is fine, she goes back in a week, Robert had his post-surgery check-up too and all is fine there too. I hope to be able to have this program up and running soon so I can share it with all.

I have been busy this week getting all the paper work done for a little project I am doing. I had mom come up for an overnighter and boy was it a bad idea. She was in an absolutely terrible mood when it got time for her to go back. She kept fussing and being mean the next day too at the NH. They said she has been like this off and on for days now, wish they had of told me sooner. She was being fine most of the time, we played Yahtzee and watched movies and she helped do dinner, laughing and joking but as soon as she found out it was tme to leave, WOW she got mad, mean and nasty. I don't know if I should even try bringing her anymore if it upsets her this much.

Wow, I have put somethings on eBAY and sold them!!! I didn't think I would sell anything but I sure did, if I had of known before now I wouldn't of been stressing about money so bad. SMILE. Mom is doing good although still in a semi-bad mood. I am going to take her to the Home and Garden show tomorrow and lunch but no where near the house, home, maybe this way she won't get so upset but will have some fun, it's worth a try. I am feeling pretty darn good, a big difference from a year ago for sure. I have just about finished the paperwork for my pet project so now it is just wait and see if I get approval.

I'm just getting ready to go to my grand-daughters school program, it feels so nice to be able to go and not worry about who is going to watch mom or not be able to go because of having mom. I miss her so much but at the same time I like the freedom. I went to see her the other day and she is still mad at me for taking her back, go figure, she has 'AD' and still holds a grudge?????? I got my money order from my eBAY sale, boy is this fun. I have one thing up there that maybe one of you could tell me a little about, they are Stellite Knives I really don't know too much about them except they are from WW1.

PLEASE REMEBER TO CHANGE YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR BATTERIES TONIGHT. I sold the rest of my stuff on eBAY today, HURRAY. just in time too, I had a guy out today to see how much to replace my gutters would be and I have enough, yippee. I went to see mom last night, I was there for several hours. She was fine the entire time, laughing and carrying on witht he nurses and aides, then came time for me to leave. She went right back to being mean and nasty and told me not to come see her anymore if she wasn't good enough to take home. Gosh this is so hard. I want to have her home again but I really just can't do it anymore, I wish she were able to understand that.
