dang it

so if you are still visiting my site, you may have noticed that I had a big fat error message at the bottom, basically something changed and my commenting powered by blogkomm didn't want to work any more.  so I upgraded, I changed settings...basically I did everything but sacrifice a rooster.  it doesn't want to work- so I'm forced to go to the blogger comment system.  oh well, I guess there are worse things in life.  speaking of:
 
 
the kids are at their grandparents and Kelly is at the hospital.  I hate coming home to an empty house and I have the most difficult time sleeping without Kelly, especially at home.  I’m addicted to her, and I don’t like the kids being gone.  Good news is the sooner we get through this, the sooner it is over…I know that is a bad cliché but it is true.  And I’m selfish, there are people who would love to have an empty home and many more that would love to probably have a home. 
 
 For a cancer, the type of thyroid cancer Kelly has is easily treatable and isn’t really life threatening, as frustrating and difficult as it is to have to be away from her, to have had to deal with the last 6 weeks of her going off of her thyroid and the upcoming weeks of having to take extra precautions because there will still be traces of radiation, the fact still stands that I still have her, she is still healthy and hopefully we won’t have to deal with this again.  Which is better than what many families who have loved ones in the same hospital as Kelly, as bad as we want to think our situation is, we are quickly reminded that we have it so good.  The nurse’s tech that is assigned to Kelly tonight has an 18 year old daughter, who is in the same hospital, she is very sick.  They have removed her gallbladder and there are now complications with her pancreas, sadly it doesn’t look good for her. 
 
I have learned though that miracles do happen and I’m hoping and praying that a huge one would occur for this young lady. 
 
Good night, work continues to work me- rumor has it that some bigwigs are going to be visiting the store where I’m working on a special project sometime this week, and if that is the case, I’m going to need my beauty sleep.

we're still alive

Ok, I tried to post before leaving work last night but as I was typing an alarm sounded near my seat and a security guard indicated that there was smoke and we should evacuate.  Mark that to another of life’s experiences I could have not had, though it’ll be a great one to tell the grandkids some day.
 
We are well, Kelly is completely off of her thyroid medication and has been for a couple of weeks in preparation for Radiation…currently she is really tired.  Thankfully we have wonderful friends who have stepped in and have assisted Kelly during the day while I head to work, currently Kelly can’t really watch the kids- it is just too much for her. 
 
Monday she heads to the Hospital, she takes a magic pill and gets to be isolated in a hospital room for about a week.  After she is out she can’t be around the kids for a few more days, so we decided that the kids will go stay with their grandparents for 10 day’s, Kelly and I won’t see them the whole time, I think that is the most difficult part of it all.
 
Life is busy, home is crazy and work has me on some special projects- it is really fun- if you know of a way to add a few extra hours in a day I need it. 
 
 
I have so much more I’d like to write about but I lack the time, maybe sometime soon.
