hi to all Mood
Friday, January 16, 2009 | A General Update story

Hi yall,

  wow .... where to start?

 last night, all of a sudden, i started tingling all over, coulndt talk right, shooting pains/shocks running through me.... couldnt walk right...

   we called my daughter, she rushed right over and took all my vitals, which were fine, bp and pulse were a bit high, but nothing huge, my eyes were clear, coulnt open them thogh, they were so heavy!!!   while she was here, i did seem to get some better, but later on felt the same way. i did get a good nights sleep last night tho... that helped i think. 

   So today i just feel weak, i got up early to work on my website, got some things made and ready to go, but now im getting tired again.

  im calling the neurologist today, im overdue for a checkup, and really am scared about the "spell" last night... as my mommy would have called it...lol

   The buisiness is growing so fast and furious.... which is fantastic!!! steve still isnt back to work, so hes helping with the house, cooking and so on... so i can work on my jewelry. i hope you will all go talk a lookyloo again, so much new stuff ive done!!!! so please go look, i love your comments and suggestions.

    we have deciced to move into the 2nd floor of the apt building where bun (the daughter) lives. her hubbies auntie lives on teh first floor, and bun and paris on the 3rd floor. I cant believe we are moving again.... but believe it or not...there were TWO drive-by shootings across the street this week. I heard them... then cops as far as the eye could see. im terrified a bullet will stray and come in our house, or steve will get hit when hes walking outside. we also just cant afford the rent here with steve out of work. the tennent hasnt paid a dime for a month, he just got back to work and swears he will catch up with his first paycheck, but ill believe it when i see it.

   i know you are all yelling at me....kick him out, but believe me, its easier said than done. it will be easier to move ourselves, then he HAS to go. .. and of course their is that chance he will actually pay us, we cant move till a couple of weeks at least, so im just biding my time with him.

   Steve is thinking of going into a rehab for a while. long story, but he is very ill, and needs help. we cant afford the tests and doc appointments, but if he goes into a mental hospital, he is severly depressed and he does have OCD ... or an alcohol program, (he isnt drinking like he used to, but thats only a beer or two away when he is this depressed), and if he goes in to an inpatient program, he will get his medical needs met. I feel like a welfare rat.... but we see no other way, and he is really not doing well.... and i cant take care of him.

  i will stay with bun and paris and slowly settle into the new apartment downstairs while steve is in rehab. We are praying that God leads and guides us.... im scared out of my britches about it all, but I feel that is the door that God has opened.

It will be so hard to be without steve, and i wont have much of a chance to go see him.... that will kill me, but again... God is the head.

   My last auntie died last sunday. its so sad that these days we all live so far away from each other. there isnt a chance i can go, and my cousins all say they undersstand, but i loved auntie may so..... and i wish i could be there for them all. her son mark emailed me a story that ill journal later. God works so mightily.... He is so good.

    well, off to read journals and huggles. love you all.

    You're going through a lot right now Wooty!! It's just such a wonderful thing that you know that God is good and that He is in control. You are His child and He will work all things out together for good!

    Sorry Steve is having these problems, but you know that rehab is the answer. You have to do, what you have to do!! Better that he get help now, than have something terrible happen.

    I'm glad your business is going well though. I know how much that means to you! I'll have to go take a look see!!

    Well, God bless you Wooty. One day at at time now!!

    Wooty, we have all missed you. I am sorry things have been so tough. I hope and pray this episode you had is nothing too serious. I hope Steve will be ok, too. Your jewelry is beeeeeautiful, Rebecca, dear. Last time I checked your website, last week, your snail mail address wasn't on it, or I couldn't find it. Well, since you're moving, hold off on that, right, then post your new one! Love, Pam

    Hi new buddy...I am so glad that you see God's leading and providence in this all. I am so sorry that you are going through so much, but as you said, God will lead and He has opened these doors and after you walk through and see what is in store in that place, you will be blessed.

    I'll be praying for you and your husband!! Love you!

    I'm sorry life is throwing so much at you so fast. It's really scary when we are asked to take such a giant leap of faith without a clue as to what God has planned for us. You already recognize the challenge, and that's the biggest step of all. Stay focused on who's got your back. You and Steve will come out on top; you already know that.

    WOW sweetheart!! I hate to hear you are dealing with so much! It helps tremendously if we can keep our heads straight and our focus on God. Yes I feel sure things will be fine, and dont ever feel like a welfare rat for taking advantage of programs that are there when you need them. I hope Steve feels better soon. It will help as this load starts to lift. LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE my friend!!! xoxoxox

    This is a testing time. Its at these times that our faith grows in the Lord, we learn and love Him more deeply.
