Day One Hundred Fifty Five - Recovery Day 28

Feeling great today! I feel very back to normal. BUT, I guess I'm not yet. I want to exercise so bad, get back to lifting weights and start doing everything I was doing before surgery...but nope, can't do that and it sux! Today was a great day! We went and got groceries this morning, which was Awesome. Still so thankful to my mom for helping us out with that yesterday. The true credit, however, goes to God. He watches over us everyday and I am so so thankful to Him for always taking care of us. I had been out there selling for the last couple days so I can get us some money for groceries, and I've been going to that dang casino the last several days as well to try and get some money for groceries. Ugh, it's been a struggle. So today it was great to get out and get some food. Lisa is really going thru some crap, though. She's completely struggling herself with school. It's a big crazy long story, but she's worried that she's not going to pass this clas...

Day One Hundred Fifty Four - Recovery Day 27

Feeling good today! This morning Lisa did the chores outside, which she's been doing really great at the last few days, well actually ever since I had my surgery. She's been taking care of everything and I'm so proud of her. She's doing Great! But after all that, we headed back out and did some more selling. I was out there all day! Lisa had things to do and she had class to go to so about 2pm, she left me out there and came home to get ready for class. She did not get back out there to get me until close to 6pm. So, it was a long day. I had to go to the bathroom so bad lol. Oh man I was really holding it until she got back, but we did not sell much. Again, I only made about $35 total, but twenty dollars of that had to go to a loan that we needed to pay, so that only left us with $15 :( I swear, these ppl that come out here to buy stuff are so cheap. They don't like my prices for movies. I charge $5 per movie, or 3 for $10 and these are quality movies too. Superb c...

Day One Hundred Fifty Three - Recovery Day 26

Today was pretty good. We went selling this morning and stayed out there until Lisa had to go to work. We did ok today. After we left, we got some food then I took Lisa to work. After dropping her off, I went to the casino but again I didn't win anything big. I can make a dollar last several hours, but I can't seem to really win any big money and that's what I'm trying to do. If I could just win something big, then we can go buy groceries and all that stuff we need without having to sell all my movies, but that damn casino just doesn't pay anything. You have to be betting like $100 or more to win anything decent. Well my stomach is feeling great, but I tell ya I can really feel it when I lift anything. Even if that something is not heavy, I can really feel it. On my right side of where the incision was made, that part is really sensitive and if I lift anything constantly, I'll feel it right there. So, I gotta be careful. Lisa told me that when you get surger...

Day One Hundred Fifty Two - Recovery Day 25

I'm feeling really Awesome today! Definitely one of my best days. We went to church this morning. I woke up way too early so after going back to bed after 8am this morning, I went to sleep and didn't get up until it was time to go to church. Service was good and now it's crunch time because I need to get working on 'Hallowed Eve 8' which is happening in about 3 weeks. Lots to do on that! My stomach is feeling really great today. I cleaned out a lot of crusty stuff from my belly button this morning lol. I think it was just old discharge from those blisters I had in there. It's all clean now. Those strips that the doc put on during my last visit, are still on me. They're getting loose. I'm going to go ahead and leave it on there for a few more days, then I'll take it off. My incision looks great! I think I healed up really nicely. Went to the casino...again today. I'm so sick of that place. I NEVER win anything there. I try and try, but I do...

Day One Hundred Fifty One - Recovery Day 24

I am feeling good today! I wanted to exercise this morning...but nope, today we needed to make some money. So, we gathered up some movies and things to sell and headed out to there. Because of our situation yesterday, we definitely needed more money for groceries and gas. That's the worry now lol. But, I'm so glad our phones and internet service is back on. Not only so we can keep in touch with everyone, but so Lisa can have access to her school thru the internet. That's really important, especially now that she got into the NURSING PROGRAM wooohoo!!!! I'm still so happy for her :D :D :D We made about $40 out there so that was enough for some food. I bought Lisa something to eat before she went to work. I did something crazy today lol. I wanted to try and win some money for us at the casino, then hopefully we won't have to sell again but Lisa needed to go to work and we didn't have much gas, so since the casino is only about a mile away from here, I told her ...

Day One Hundred Fifty - Recovery Day 23 - Lisa Accepted Into The Nursing Program

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO MY BEST PAL, LISA!!!!! TODAY, SHE WAS NOTIFIED THAT SHE GOT ACCPETED INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM AT SAN JUAN COLLEGE!!!! OMG I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY FOR HER!!!! LISA I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU!! I KNEW IT ALL ALONG THAT YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE IT!! DO GREAT AND MAKE SOMETHING GREAT OF YOUR LIFE!!!! I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU WHENEVER YOU NEED ME :D :D :D :D That was such great news! She got the letter in the mail today when we got home. And YES FINALLY MY INTERNET IS BACK ON!!!! We had a big decision to make today. This morning we headed out because today is Bills Day. We have two major loans stemming from our San Diego trip. Both of them are totally killing us on our money situation. Today, though, Lisa got a pass on one of them and she had overtime from when she pulled a double working for that stupid worthless woman that didn't come in on her shift. So her check was big! Our dang cell phone/internet bill hit $691 and tha...

Day One Hundred Forty Nine - Recovery Day 22

Doing great today! Feeling great! So glad to not have to be taking pain pills anymore. I'm feeling really normal today...ugh it just sux to not have internet service or a cell phone. I'm so behind on my bills and I really need to get that situated. Tomorrow is Bills Day! I hope so much that it goes smoothly or we figure some things out. I don't know how I'm going to handle it all, but there's lots to do. Let me just list some things here so I can keep a record of it all. Cell Phone Bill Loan #1 Loan #2 Loan #3 Directv Home Phone service Insurance Propane Bill Utility Bill Computer Bill Are the ones I'm currently dealing with that I need to get rid of. Crazy right? I'm sure there are ppl out there with worse, but as for me especially during my recovery when I can't do Anything, it's really tough. Now that my cell phone bill got completely out of my control because I called them today and they added yet another month to that cr...
