I have debated with myself about posting anything about my personal life. Then, I thought that I have known many of you for a lot of years. Some of you may want to know. Mostly, I think that it will be therapeutic for me.
I am now at the end of a very trying month, due to the following two items (on top of normal stuff).
1) My wife, Cathy, fell down stairs onto a concrete floor. She had many injuries, including three broken ribs on each side, a lower back injury, split scalp. The ambulance took her to a hospital Emergency Room. After some care, they had her transported to a Trauma Center at another hospital. Then she was in the ICU and later a regular hospital room. After that, she was in two nursing homes. She is now in the rehabilitation facility at the current nursing home.
2) During this same time, I had four long time (25-50 years) friends die. Two were this week. Of those two, one was one year younger than I am and the other was one year older than I am. The second one (yesterday) was stressed and run down because his wife was having medical problems and was in the hospital.
The net of this is that I have been more than busy. I am getting to be too old for this. You may wonder why I am now on this Forum. To me, this is one little escape from reality for me. I thought that it may be good for me to post this and sort of release it.
