Today is a open day for me a blank canvas so-to=speak. I’m liking the fact that I do my posts in the early morning after a cup of tea and before everything else.

Yesterday, I had mentioned we had to go to see my husbands neurosurgeon. We did and it went well. My husband was satisfied with how the meeting went. The doctor confirmed that the break he caused is now healed after one year, praise God, I didn’t expect it to heal. I was happy to hear that. My husband, Tim, was concerned with movement, he felt his neck ‘slip’ I guess is a good way to put it. The doc assured him that it’s stable, healed ad in good shape. Considering.

His neck is a sore spot for me, even, not like it is for him. So much has gone on and is going on around this subject it’s difficult to not be up on arms.

After the break during surgery, when the doctor fused all of c-spine together and anchored it onto the t-1 vertebrae is caused most of his motion to be stifled. The doctor panicked at the time but in turn made excuses that my husband was in a state of malnutrition! Ridiculous, especially when tests were done to rule this out before the surgery took place. Anyway, it’s healed and he’s on his road to life again, it’s been a long year. But, we did it. Yes, I said ‘we’, it’s been a helluva year for me as well.

The VA is taking all patients in Seattle off of all pain meds! No matter what the patients needs are. After the initial break during a mission with the military and being on the wrong end of ‘friendly fire’, a bomb being dropped from above, missing the target and dropping it on the boys. Tim’s best friend was between him and the blast, only a few made it out, Tim was among the blessed. He will never let Tommy, his best friend, go. It’s so sad, and then with his service all the surgeries, there have been three and including the original blast the VA all they care about is taking his pain meds away! It’s outrageous, they don’t even offer ‘anything’ in their place. The pain from his neck is horrendous and the VA should be ashamed of themselves!

Today is an open book, probably do what I usually do, not enough. My granddaughter is scheduled to come after high school. She cleans my linoleum floors for some money every month, it helps her with her horseback riding. I like that.

Halloween is almost here. My grandson’s happiness is in my hands for that night. I wonder what my plans will be.

Gosh, I’m an empty head right now.
