Not all good.
For 3 months I've been battling depression and I feel that Satan has been after me big time. But I have God on my side and I will win the battle, God has already won it.
My life was looking good just before the 4th of July. On the thursday before, I got the 2nd injection in my back for the sciatica pain. The pain hadn't let up much on Sunday and as I woke up and walked to the bathroom, using my cane, I somehow wobbled and fell, sat down really hard! The pain was devastating! I managed to pull the walker to the bed and scooch over closer to the bed. I had a pillow on the walker and put it on the floor and used it for my knee as I pulled myself up. Normally I cannot kneel at all.. too painful. I guess the major pain in my back allowed me to kneel, didn't feel the pain in the knee. Anyway, I was able to get up and stand using the walker. I took a couple steps and then figured if I was up and walking I probably didn't break or dislocate anything. I managed to get to the bathroom and even let the dogs out. I've never had that much pain before in my life.
Fortunately I remembered I had some pain patches and tried to put one on. The pain didn't allow me to reach behind much but I managed to get one on. I guess it did help some. The pain did not allow me to bend over and reach my feet. I could barely wipe my behind it was so painful.
Since it was Sunday there was really no one to call. Monday I did try to call drs but it was a holiday and no one was in the office. Tuesday was the 4th. By Wednesday I was just able to get to the car and get inside it. I went to the ball games, but with a great deal of pain.
At the same time my phone died! I got online to my server and tried to get some help. That wasn't possible and in 2 days I lost my internet! For a couple days I was totally out of reach to the outside world. It was scary.
I did buy a 'burner' phone but it got too expensive to use. The internet eventually came back on and I was able to get another phone. This time one that works better and the business I got it from is only 4 blocks away.
During all this, Harvey hit Texas right where my grandchildren and great grandchildren live. It also destroyed the beautiful town of Port Aransas where I had lived for nearly 30 years, where I raised my children. My depression was getting worse. Even though the kids are all okay, they lost a lot. My friends on the island lost it all. SO depressing.
and just as we were getting over the affects of Harvey, Irma hit Florida, destroying the keys and coastal areas on the Gulf side of the state. However, it also went up the middle over where my sister's home is. She evacuated to north Alabama where her kids are, but she goes home tonight to minimal damage and a huge mess to clean up.
