Hi, Terry! I'm doing ok. Had kind of a rough patch there for a while emotionally...just marriage stuff. Maybe personal stuff. I'm not sure. I think it'll be ok. Probably just stuff we go through. Hopefully it'll work out. I posted about some issues one day, but I deleted it. Probably best kept at home. Some stuff that really bothered me is improving and my wife's trying. It should work out. Even if it someday doesn't, I'm confident that things will be all right. We actually discussed divorce at great length when I was going through my crisis. It'd be ok. I'm confident we'd stay friends. We love each other, but more important than that...we like each other. It should be ok. Going pretty good right now.
My step-dad had his left leg amputated in October then again (higher) in November. He was in the hospital until February, but now he's home. It isn't all the way healed, but he is doing a lot better. He's getting around fine and probably about to be released from the wound care specialist back to his surgeon. They'll start prepping for a prosthesis. That was taking up a TON of time while he was in the hospital, but it's settling back down to more normal. He still isn't released to drive, so I'm taking him to his follow ups. He can actually drive but not more than short trips right now. I think they might release him for that on Friday at our appointment. He mowed last Sunday!! Luckily, I have a TON of sick time...more than I could ever use before I retire (nearly six months). I just take off when needed. They're settling back in.
Our daughter's also going through a divorce. It's been coming for a while but got very ugly the last few weeks. It's sad with little kids, but it is inevitable at this point. She tried her best. We're helping her get through that. She's having a really hard time with it because she really didn't want a divorce, but it takes two. We'll help her.
Guess we're living. Can't ask for more than that. The weather around here's been absolutely gorgeous this week. I'm about to start doing some more fishing...shopping for a canoe right now. It's about time to put out a garden. I might buy some flowers on the way home. I feel good.
Life's pretty good.
