Too Many Fires

     It's really weird having my husband not home with me. Being at the hospital with his parents and sister right now is the most important thing he could be doing during this medical crisis. If only we weren't just putting off the inevitable with his Mom's condition. Unless a miracle happens she's a woman trapped in a 460 lb body that is shutting down little by little. Her mental condition needs much attention from professionals but when you cannot logistically or physically leave your home, it's impossible to do anything but exist. Needless to say we are quite worried about everyone involved.
     In comparison, I saw my therapist yesterday. I hate driving an hour to see her but I supposed I would come up with some other excuse if she were closer not to go. It's not that I don't like her or think it's not worth doing. It's just talk therapy is ongoing and often epiphanies don't come easily which is why therapy is work. Speaking of work. I have none at the moment still. The pain in my left heel right now is excruciating from the plantar fascitis, no matter what the podiatrist has me do. I'm thinking that surgery is probably looking more like an option if this continues.  My bursitis is at least, after the last injection feeling better though I still cannot walk up and down stairs worth a crap. Being that I'm not working has helped. I'm not on my feet constantly. In all honesty, I am afraid to go back to work because of these things but then employers aren't exactly beating down my door either. One day at a time I keep reminding myself.
     I also remind my laptop of that because it has very limited battery life. If I'm lucky I get an hour before it has to be plugged back in or it dies. J ordered me a new bigger battery so I will let you know if it's successful. Let us hope!

And finally...
We're only days away from the changing of the guard politically here in America. Saying goodbye to Obama is bittersweet. I loved him representing us to the rest of the world, but realize he was getting nothing done because of the crappy house/senate republicans. Now with Chump about to take over I feel things could be rather bleak.

Too many fires to put out it feels like.....
