Feeling Better and the Holidays!!

I am starting to feel better. A large part of my illness was that I was having withdrawal symptoms from steroids. The docs are trying to reduce the amount of steroids I am on and I guess they just took them down to fast. I was having shaky hands, major stomach cramps and muscle cramps. It is crazy the side effects of drugs and medicine that your body is not supposed to be on. That is why if I don't have to take meds I don't. That is why when I have a head ache, I do everything I can to avoid taking an Asprin or Advil. When I have had my surgeries and the docs give me pain killers, I avoid them unless absolutely necessary.

Alek has been falling asleep everyday on the way to daycare. It is normally when I am about five minutes from the daycare. So I have been going for a little drive around daycare so he can get at least a 20 to 30 minute nap. It is depressing to drive around and see all these people's homes. All I can think is I wish I had a home that I knew I was going to be in for a long time. I am just so sick of not being settled. It is not fun when you come home everyday and you have to think how long will we be here. Where will we go? It is just such an empty feeling. I know many of you have moved or have sold a home, but when you are forced to sell your home it just leaves a really bad taste in your mouth.

Thanksgiving is coming up. It is such a great Holiday. I love all the food and getting together with family. I really miss seeing my family from PA during this time and I miss my Grandpa. He loved Thanksgiving. I loved spending Thanksgiving with him. Eating the bird then drinking a beer and watching football. There is really nothing better then that. Spending time with family is something that we should really treasure. Some of us don't have the family that others do. I have to think of my good friend, the Skipper. Every holiday I think of him. His parents were so amazing and I can not imagine the Holidays without my parents. He has been so amazing dealing with he has gone through that I often draw of him. I love you man. The greatest thing is that Skip has carried on a tradition that his parents were apart of. He delivers food and gifts to people in need in the Foxboro area for the Holidays. He is giving back to the community as his parents did. This is what life is about. In times like we are in today, it is important to give to people in need. What are you doing this Holiday to help out people in need??? If you are not doing anything, you should!!! That is my soapbox statement for the day. I welcome your comments on this.
