I know it can be worse

[kathy]

These last 5 days have been the most miserable of the summer for me. The fibro is out of control unless I pop up to 2000mg/daily of ibuprofen. No pain, but the IBS tears me up.

Hubby isn't recovering as quickly as we hoped from his double hernia repair. He waited too long to have it done (should have done it a couple of years ago) and he'll be out of work even longer than originally anticipated. God knows this isn't something I'm looking forward to. It's not that he's a real big pain in the a**, but I'm used to having my personal time and there's been none for the last 4 weeks.

Found out yesterday that hubby's brother and his wife are both going for needle biopsies of their thyroids. Weird!!! Everyone's scratching their heads over this one. They both have growths on the right side of their thyroids.

Good news is that our son started his new job today. Making good bucks and being his own boss. We've been so proud of him for continually looking and interviewing and maintaining his sobriety. HOWEVER...he totalled his car last night. It was a miracle he lived through it according to the insurance company and cop. The grill was at the windshield, the hood was literally curled under...like somebody tried to rolling it up, and he couldn't open the doors. He got away with tenderness in his chest from the seat belt. He rear ended a Mercedes and the damage to it was minimal. Guess what kind of car I want when I grow up???

So I am trying to focus on the fact that he's a walking miracle. And that I'm grateful he's alive and well.

God I'm tired.
