Hi Sheba & Oodie, How’re you guys doing? I put up a post to you both but it didn’t go thru. Really weird. Lost a question to help hubby figure out new meds. Probably won’t be on next week as I’m scheduled for scopes & throat stretch & will probably be wiped out from anesthesia. Please let me know how you both (& families) are doing. Think they FINALLY figured out what’s wrong after 2 yrs. & 4 mos. of sleeping 12 hrs a day (w/medication not to sleep & 15-16 hrs without it). They tested for antibodies to see if it’s hashimoto’s disease (an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid & pituitary). Finally an answer to all the symptoms. Prayers finally being answered. Snowed yesterday & again today. Hard to keep up with it all. Just get snow shoveled & then start all over.

Oodie, thanks so much for hosting every week. Thanks also to those getting & giving answers. Keeping you & hubby in our prayers. Stay warm & safe. God bless!

Sheba, virtual hug back to you. Thanks, I needed that today! Heart aches for young one losing parents. Terrible enough one at a time. Can’t even imagine. Prayers with you & family. Please stay safe & warm.

Oodie, so sorry to hear hubby is still struggling with physical pain. PT can really be tough but it does seem to help most. My hubby is having memory problems but with a personality change. He’s never been mean before. I think it really bothers him that he can’t think of words or what he’s wants to tell me. I’m trying to be very patient but sometimes I just can’t figure out what he’s trying to say. Once I know the subject, I can usually figure it out. He agreed today to have a CT scan & see a specialist. So happy for this. He just passed his drivers’ license test. I can imagine how much your husband misses driving but that would be really difficult with a bad knee. I know what you mean about the driving. I was praying someone was on my side when he took it, but he passed just the same. Will keep you in prayers. May this Christmas bring you all the joy in the world & may all the pain be gone for your hubby & for you. I know how hard it is to see someone you love hurting. It makes us hurt just seeing them in pain. You and Sheba are my angels.

Oodie, I’m not sure where my update about the Sept. court date went. I think it’s on page 2. Hope you can find it. Sorry, not thinking real straight lately. They’re supposed to split custody of son. Please look back for post on page 2.

Oodie, I didn’t realize it was so long ago. In emergency court date the judge decided it was not to the detriment of grandson or son for his wife to bring her girlfriend in to live with them. Son found out she had been cheating on him for a couple years with men in hotels. She left the proof on his computer that she had used for her work when hers was down. It’s not the point of whether she cheated with men or women, just that she cheated. Son could use this in court but judges don’t really care & he figured it would only delay getting it all over with. They pretty much agreed on everything such as joint custody of their son, etc. He just wants it over with. The lawyer he has didn’t do a very good job for him. Everything in court was “hearsay”, i.e. did he actually see them drink all the alcohol they bought, etc. It also didn’t matter that they were smoking pot while grandson was still awake early in the evening. Lawyer only met with him 15 minutes before court & never brought up what he wanted him to address. We just pray it’s over soon so my son can get on with new life with his son. Grandson sees therapist & is on medication that has helped him. Of course it’s ridiculous that his (soon-to-be) ex & her friend are planning their wedding before the divorce is thru, but they are. Court didn’t see any problem with her decisions. Mind boggling!

Oodiebom, It was after 10:00 last week (or week before) when you posted about your hubby. Been praying for you both & was so glad to hear he was doing better. We prayed for you guys when all the storms hit. Cousins lives in TN & we were glad we didn’t get word that they were affected. Always hold our breath when we hear. I don’t know if I have all the presents done or not. Haven’t been able to think too well lately. Another Christmas with no tree or decorations. Still too many boxes from my Mom’s house not cleared out. Sleeping 12 hrs. a day with meds (15 hrs. without meds), I never seem to get much done. Thanks again for your help will son’s situation. Your ideas were amazing. They really helped. Wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday season whether it’s Christmas, Kwanza or Hanukkah.

God bless you, Sheba. Your posts & beautiful gif’s always bring a smile to my face. We’re hanging in there. Been praying for you & your family & others on Community. Hubby has brain scan coming up & appt. w/specialist first of next year. Sure been a rough year for us both, but praying ’22 will get better. New Year’s Eve will be next court date for son & his soon-to-be ex (never knew they held court on New Year’s Eve!). Her girlfriend is still living with them which has really been tough on him. They (ex & her lover) are all excited for their upcoming wedding. You’d think they’d wait until divorce comes thru. Son just lives downstairs & never goes up. He’s lost about 35 pounds. Grandson is still struggling. He’s 9 yrs. old & was hospitalizing with breakdown when she moved her girlfriend in. Breaks my heart but I put them in God’s hands. No better place to be. Hope I remember next Friday before 7:00pm but that will be our 43rd anniversary & “maybe” he’ll take me out! If I don’t get home, wishing you & yours a very Merry & Blessed Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah . Hope I didn’t leave any out.
