Shitballs!!!
so. Well. Anyway. Dave is having emergency surgery, probably Thursday. Which is his 45th birthday. His transverse colon has herniated through his abdominal wall (3 inches of herniation (the hole) and a bunch of the colon) through one of the old scars. It's very serious shit. Pardon the pun. I'm hanging in there. The kids are okay. Everyone is a bit nervous and worried. They are going to 'gently' put the colon back in, and then insert a piece of mesh across the opening. They cannot stitch the herniation site as it is all scar tissue (most of his abdomen is scar tissue now :(......) and hope like heck it holds.
Prayers are welcome. I will post again when I have the chance. Haven't gotten any packing done yet. Will be doing the move solo. Dave will be in hospital for about a week or so, then won't be able to do anything at all for a month.
Life - It's not like the brochure folks!!

Shitballs for sure! I'm so sorry. I will pray that everything turns out well. Do you ever just wake up and say... Really God? Really? Sometimes the whole being refined by the fire thing just gets old. :) My thoughts are with you. Please take care of yourself.

ROFL. Oddly enough, I don't do that anymore. My saying which has gotten me through it all so far is....
God never gives me more than I can handle, but there are times when HE has a whole lot more fucking confidence in me than I do!!
