I am finally writing. I have been busy with school, running with the rescue squads, the kids and keeping myself sane. I hope everyone is good and well. I got the kids a hampster the other night because they have been bugging for one. She cool and small with a good amount of quirkiness. I am presently looking for another place to live for the simple fact that this place is falling apart and the repairs are gonna be more than the place is worth. I hate to leave because this is where me and my wife had our life and by leaving it I feel I am leaving what we had behind. I know thats not true. She came to me and said it was okay to move after I asked her what I should do. I asked her for a sign and that same night my water pipes froze and burst. Nothing like being suttle, but, when she wants to get a message across, she will be heard. I am going to Myrtle Beach this for a couple days to see my friend before he goes to Iraq. well, everyone be well and have a joyous week and prosper in whatever you do.

Love,

Mike     

I got the final word yesterday about the "brain pain". I have been put out of work and on disability, the swollen artery in my head has not become an anurism yet. The doc said that with meds and plenty of rest, hopefully I can keep it from turning into an anurism. He said if I keep going like I am, he gives me a year. He threatened to pull my cdl license if I fought him on the disability and then I would have no choice. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Of course, I have to see him weekly and get tested bi-weekly to monitor the swollen artery. He said it was probably there before, but the stress and fatigue that I have been under could have really acted it up. I can't believe how stress can physically hinder a person, even be fatal. Well, I'll try it and see what comes of the treatment. Without treatment, it will turn into an anurism and I will surely die. I'm not out of the woods yet, but it still isn't too late. Thanks for the concern, I really am glad to have people that care. I love you guys.

Love,

Mike

It's been a while since I wrote, but, I have been in a slump. You know hon, friday I'll find out about my scan. All he told me that he did find something but until he gets a second opinion from a neurologist, he'll let me know the exact problem. Remember what I said I always thought I had, well  it's that. I'm okay with it, this way I'll be with you sooner than expected. I come see you every day as I'm sure you know. He's also gonna probably put me on disability he said, so this way whatever time I have left can be spent with the kids and I'll take them to Disney World and a whole bunch of places. He gave me some meds to help with the  "brain pain". It's helps a little but most of the time it hurts and makes me dopey. On a lighter note, hopefully I'll be home soon and we can have the life we always wanted together. I'm going to go, I'll write later. I love you and miss you. I can't wait to see you. Please be well my love.

Love forever and ever,

Mike

Me and my wife would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Let everyone be safe in whatever you do and remember that this place we live is only a temporary reststop for a better life on the other side.

Blessings and Light,

Mike and Susie
