Today is my birthday. I had wanted to have a big Birthdat Party to celebrate my 50th as well as my 51st since I wasn't feeling very well on my 50th. The 50th is also clouded with the argument with Mom and her refusal to participant in my 50th birthday celebration. That was the biggest rift between us in all of my life. I guess we hurt each other to the core and I'm not sure that we are over it even today. I forgive but it did hurt. So I wanted today to be different, we can't change the past but can try to do better in the future. But, I didn't have the funds to have a party so I'm celebrating life!
I went out yesterday with Ms. JoAnne and her Aunt and some friends, that was fun. Today I started the day out stuck in the snow in the driveway when attempting to get to work. I was two hours late for work but I got here. Richard came by with his snow blower and shoveled both Bree and I out. (Good is so good...when I called Richard I didn't even know he had a snow blower.) When I got to work Mel had a big balloon tied to my chair with a card. A ton of family called or texted to say Happy Birthday and I'm thanking God for another birthday.
Happy Birthday!
I continue to heal from the surgery and maybe by summer it will all be done! Yahoo!

The Other side
This blog entry is entitle "The other Side" because Ferlando called my last surgery this way.
I had surgery on Feb. 8 and it went well. Mom and Chris escorted me to the hospital. They stayed with me until I was alert to speak sensibly after surgery. I went into Surgery around 5:37 Pm and I think I was out by 9PM. Mom and Chris left around 11 PM. I actually felt pretty good when I woke up. I did get snowed in at the hospital. Trina had to have her friend Micheal pick me up from the Hospital. He took me to her at Skokie Hospital where she now works. Trina and I went shopping for fresh undies and night clothes. We got something to eat and spent the night at the doubletree hotel, which PeeWee arranged and paid for us. It was nice just being with my sister, we had fun except I fell asleep on her! Oh well one day out of surgery what can you expect. I saw the docter the next day before going home and he indicated that I was doing well. Breyen picked me up from the Dr's office and we went back to Homewood and had lunch with Chris and Alex. I am amazed at how good I've been feeling after surgery but grateful. Perhaps Ferlando is right, maybe this is 'The Other Side" I certainly hope so.
The issue now is finding the right hormone to take for the next five years. I've tried two so far and the last one made me very sick. I do take a natural supplement that is supposed to to the same thing but there is no scienctid study to back up the claim. I'm inclined to just take the natural supplement and pray because the other meds have so many side effects and cause so much pain that the quality of life is greatly diminished. I'm praying about it; for now I'm enjoying "The Other Side".
