Myself, family, and a long time friend

Hi everybody, yes Ken and I did have a good thanksgiving here at home, just the two of us and our pups. Not the traditional TG dinner but one we cooked up together. My two children couldn't make it because of bad back problems. My daughter has been in bed most of this past week although she saw a doc and got a torodol shot and some meds the first of last week, she is still not better, still in severe pain. Today she will see her chiropractor to gets xrays made and start some adjustments started if the doc thinks she should. That doc has been out of town but told my daughter to call first thing on Mon. to let her check her schedule. I am sure she will work her in. She will miss work today and I don't know how many days she will be out. My son has been trying to work and comes home from work and goes straight to bed.

I have an online friend of many years who has been in the hospital for around a month who has had a stroke and is doing therapy, hoping to come home soon. He is 88 years old. He needs some good thoughts and prayers sent up for him as well as my children and myself do also. I will get to myself in a minute down below. My friends name is Sam and goes by Gravydogg55 on AOL. (Here is his blog) I have been so worried by not seeing him post lately and have sent some emails to him asking about his health. I got an answer from his daughter as to what has been going on and she also posted it for him in his blog. Please call around with some encouragement for him if you get a chance. Your comments will not show up until he reads it and allows them to show. Jeannette also posted about him in our support blog. Thanks Jeannette.
Now on to me. I am still not doing well at all. Still in a lot of pain and not able to sit but a few minutes at a time. Ken is still doing most everything here. (He is such a good person. He even went to the grocery store and got my daughter a bunch of groceries because she was out of food and could not go to get groceries and then he took it to her which is 1 and1/2 hours away driving in the rain most of the way.)I called my Doc's office last week that did this last surgery and they are going to get another MRI set up to try to find out what has happened. I am waiting to hear from the MRI place here that will get that set up. Then I will take the xrays back to see him when he comes to our town. To tell the truth I am looking for more surgery to have to be done. A bone may have chipped off and slipped down. We just won't know until the MRI gets done then I see the Doc. again. So all you people can see why I am still asking for good thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry that I haven't been around to visit with many of you and leave mostly short comments when I do get a chance to visit.
Thanks for all your visits and comments plus all those good thoughts and prayers you have been sending our way. We appreciate it very much.
Much love to you all. I will post again when when I find out something. Maybe one day I can post about something good.
