Changing the name of this blog...

I think I should change the name if this blog to the trial and tribulations of 2008!
How many more months and days do I have until this year of over? I started this blog as s way to vent and share, but it seems the sharing is more depressing than anything.

I have been having some gastrointestinal issues lately,meaning some discomfort when I eat certain foods. Well yesterday I woke up with my mid-abdominal area having some discomfort. As the day progress it got worse, to the point I was pacing and couldn't sit down. Andy took me to the ER at MCV. They ran some test gave me pain meds and came back with my large intestine was enlarged and stalled. They gave many reasons but wanted to do a cat-scan. The results came back I had a partial blockage in the small intestine. At first they were thinking it was due to adhesion's from a previous abdominal surgery which had kinked it up a little. The recommendation, surgery! I freaked. I have 8 people coming this week from Illinois for graduation. I can't be dealing with this right now. They gave me a NG tube and started to admit me when the head surgeon came in and said I was not a candidate for surgery. It would just increase my chances of more adhesion's. Unless the pain continues (or gets worse) they don't want to do anything hoping it will fix it self. I'm okay with that since I don't want surgery right now. But, the downside is I'm really uncomfortable right now and it's not getting better. I have to make to Friday, I want to see my daughter graduate from High School!

Today I come home from the hospital with a message on my phone. It was my father and he wanted me to call him. So I did, and guess what now! My degenerate brother was pulled over for DUI last night in Texas. He refused to take the breathalizer so needless to say he went to jail. The sad part was he had his girlfriend and her minor son in the truck which is a felony i think due to the endangerment issue. If it is, guess what! He just committed his 3rdfelony in Texas which means 3x's and he's out and probaby heading back to prison. All stupid stuff he has done, possession of drugs near a school zone, escaping from police custody and now this. I love my brother and wish he could avedone more with himself, but with his record ( which is his fault)it been ard for him to get anything and so he has fallen back into the pitfalls of being a confinct.

I'm to sick today to worry about him,I know that is sad, but I really feel like crap. I really want to just go crawl back into bed and closemy eyes and all this be gone. What's the chances of that?
