Hello!
Sorry I have not written in here for a long time. Life keeps on going and I'm busy a lot. My brother is now in a rehab/nursing home in Niagara Falls. Which for me and my sister is a 36 mile drive one way. Takes about a hour to get there. I go on Weds and we go together on Sats. Stopping to eat on the way home and maybe go to Walmart. Both days tire me out. They say he is healing and may have surgery soon. Still don't know if he'll go home. He wants to, of course but with his legs I don't know if he can take care of himself. Hopefully some PT will help with them.
As for me, I have had another UTI and a bad rash. Don't know how or why I got the rash. It was very red and itchy. Was on pred and it is going away but still itchy in spots. Had a little nodule taken off my tongue too. Thought that would be the last of that but the last couple of days I feel like my tongue has gotten burnt. I hope another one is not coming out.
I am now seeing a guy named David. He lives in Lockport which is about half way between here and Niagara Falls. But he has been coming to see me almost every weekend. Even goes to church with me. He is a nice guy, has a job and a truck. Takes care of his 80 yr old mother. He has been engaged twice but neither worked out so he said. It's in the early stages yet so don't know where it might lead. If anywhere. As always he's not sure what he wants. Story of my life. But can't rush into things either. So time will tell.
Not really happy where I am living. I love my mobile home. It's just the right size for me and Sassy. But I hate the pine trees and the needles and pine cones. Can't have a dog here and that bothers me. But I really can't afford to move. I would love to live where my sister lives but I can't pay lot rent and a trailer payment too. And trailers over there cost to much for me to buy. I need to win the lottery lol
August 25th would have been my 36th wedding anniversary with Vinnie. I still miss and love him. rip my love

I am sure your brother love to see you and your sister. That is so sweet you do visit as so many are left with no one that cares. I know you are so tired but it is good to see others happy with visiting and caring. I do hope some day he can go home. I hope your rash is now gone. What a pain that would be to be itching all the time. Well, if it is meant to be I hope it works out with this guy. Your day will come when you find love again. It must be a pain with the pine needles but at least you like your mobile. I know how you feel with wanting a dog. I want one too but my landlord says no. At least you do have Sassy for company. I am sure you will always love Vinny and miss him. He is watching over you and as they say you will see him again. Prayers with hugs.
Hi and thanks for writing. I am on more pred and a cream for my rash which is helping a lot. No more itching! What a relief! I hope you are right about finding love again. Being married for 32 yrs it\'s not easy being alone. It\'s a big change and I miss having someone around. But time will tell what happens with David. Maybe someday I will live where I can have a dog again. The Lord knows my needs and wants. I just need to be patient.
So glad no more itching! I know it has to be so hard after being married for 32 yrs. I know you will find love again. Yep, someday you may have a dog too. You are right... be patient... it will be so worth it. Many hugs
Thanks for the hugs! Have a good day!
I am so late reading this journal entry vinlin. Sorry about that.
I will pray for your brother and hope that with pt and more healing he can go home and be able to take care of himself. Nice that you and your sister can visit him and then spend some time together.
Sorry to hear about your rash and UTI Maybe its the stress of all that has happened. just a thought.
David sounds like a solid guy.I am glad you have met him. I hope that with time your relationship grows into more. Pet Sassy for me Big Hugs for you my friend. Thank you for your support and friendship and greenies
That is ok, don\'t worry about it. My brother had surgery last Friday. He is back in the home now. I hope he gets healed to but who knows what will happen. I think I have another uti but the Dr thinks it might viral and now I have to see a urologist, which I want to do any way. But can\'t see one till the 29th. So if I do have one and it gets worse I\'m going to the ER.
My sister knows and will take me if needed.
yeah Dave is a sweetie, I haven\'t figured out if he is a mama\'s boy or just taking care of his 80 yr old mother. He goes camping and fishing with his buddies so I kinda think he is just being a good son.
Thank you for your support and friendship too.
Many hugs coming your way.
