Sorry I haven't posted for a while. So much has been going on, I just haven't been in the mood to talk about it. Still no job for D. But right now, I think that is a good thing, for now. Last week, I had to drive him to the doctor. He is a diabetic, and his blood sugar dropped to 50, his normal range is 110-120. No matter what he ate or drank, we couldn't get it any higher than 64. For a few minutes, he lost his vision. I wasn't home from work yet, and our dog Alix knew something was wrong and went over to the computer where he was sitting and put her paw on his leg, making sure he was ok. I know, how sweet! Anyway, the doctor did blood work, and he got the same range that D had. He took him off one of his medicines, and told him they would call with the results of the other tests. Since he's been off of the one pill, he is doing much better. Still tired, and kind of pale. The doctor's office called yesterday, and his red blood cell count is very low. The doctor is concerned that he may be bleeding internally. So I take him Thursday for some more tests to see if they can find anything. This scares me so bad. It's like one things after another. He has lost 48 lbs. now, and he looks much better. Now if he could just feel better. On top of that, our basement flooded over the weekend. Out sump pump went bad. So we had the insurance company out, they sent a crew out to dry things up and they brought a huge dumpster out for all the things that were wet. Luckily, I don't think we lost anything important. Lots of boxes from where we had moved in, old carpeting, padding, the kids old board games. But nothing valuable. So that was good, got the junk carried out of the basement, and D. didn't have to do any work. Just instructed the workers what to carry out to the dumpster. They left a bunch of dryers in the basement to dry the walls out. They will be back in a few days to replace the insulation they had to cut out, and it will be ok.
I know things could always be worse, but I am getting so tired of this. I need my husband back healthy, and then working!
It is freezing here. When I left for work, it was 4 degrees, and we're supposed to get 5-6 inches of snow. I drove the big truck to work today, so I'm not worried. But we're all really tired of this cold. We were so spoiled by the mild weather in January.
Hope you all are keeping warm, and doing well.

Hi Sandy!
Hang in there. One of the repercussions of the weight loss would be a lowering of his blood sugar, so once that get it regulated, I'll bet he will feel so much better.
Boy though, when it rains it pours huh? I'm so sorry for all your troubles my friend. Please let me know if I can do anything to help, even just lending a friendly ear!
Hi Sandy,
Sounds like both of us are having a rough time of it as of late. Just remember that "the Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle" and "that which does not kill us will only make us stronger." My prayers are with you and your family, thank you for yours as well.
Happy Valentines Day!!!
