TGIF Almost

Man, what a shitty life I lead. I haven't enjoyed much of anything in months, but especially the last 5 1/2 weeks with Paula being away. Even last weekend, a long weekend, full of racing, and I got little enjoyment whatsoever. I must say though, if you missed the end of the Indy 500, you really missed a good one. . . The Coke 600 NASCAR race was excellent as well, with a Dodge pulling out the win. (Most people would know I am a diehard MOPAR man)

Regarding Paula:

Sorry it has been a while but not a lot has changed this past week. This week things are moving along, she saw her specialist Tuesday who liked her progress and wants her to go to St. James on Friday for a skin graft on the small wound on the front of her leg to see how her body responds to the surgery. If this goes well it may speed up the surgery for the big wound on the back of her leg. Yesterday she went back to Christ Hosp. to see her pain management specialist and he changed her meds and upped her dosage on some things to try and make her more comfortable.

So she is terrified about tomorrows events and the success (or lack thereof) of them. Yesterday was a quite painful day for her, and this past week the pain has been harder to manage as the treatments become more agressive. (That is why she was sent back to the pain specialist yesterday)

So anyway, she is making progress, but still no real positive timeline for her as far as coming home. A lot is riding on the success or failure of tomorrow's surgery, so I ask you please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I appreicate all the kindness and well wishes. Believe me, I have days where it is those things that keep me going. I will keep you posted as I know more.
