Follow Up from Gift!

Okay it has been over two months and the gift keeps giving. I now need to watch my blood pressure, but in reverse of the way most others do. Instead of keeping it down, I must keep mine up! Monday the 21st mine dipped to 91/61, caused by dehydration. Put back in the hospital for a day. My leg started twitching, couldn't stand when it would start. Thought I was channeling Elvis through my left leg. Better now, need to keep my top # above 120, so as to keep blood flow going to brain. YAY! Guess this means have one. Just read a friend's blog and all I can say is I am sorry! Sounds like he turned out to be a coward. I wish you the best! But if things keep going the same way for you, you will end up able to leap tall buildings, lift trains and run faster than a speeding bullet. Since your experiences keep making you stronger. =P Found my first cell phone, found a pic of you..... It said "Just because of you", glad I could bring a real smile to someone's face, even if just for a short moment. =)

Gift from Life

Okay, "gift from life'....., somewhat a bit of sarcasm. On March 31st I celebrated my 45th birthday, YAY ME! On April 1st, yes April fool's day, I was given a "gift", a wake up call more like it. =( I had a minor stroke!. I was finishing up my shower around 8 p.m., felt tingling and weakness in my right arm. It was followed by tingling/ numbness on the right side of my face. Not knowing what was happening, all I could do was laugh. Until I started slurring my speech. =( Joke over, getting serious! Have a few fb friends that are nurses and got one to respond. Thank you Scott Tacket! Now have new primary Doctor, have been set up with a tri-fecta of specialist, cardiologist, neurologist, and endocrinologist. Have been put on medical leave till end of month by which point all 4 of my Doctors must clear me to return to work. Not accustomed to so much time off, not sure what to do with myself.

Dearborn, three weeks of Hell to gain entrance into Ford Heaven

I know silly title, but..... Ok had to drive up on March 3rd to Dearborn, Michigan. Only a 6.5 hour trip, and I left early from home so as to take my time and avoid any chance of getting ticketed. But, the travel plans as all plans went to shit once I got close to Ohio. Florrennce, Kentucky was getting some heavy snow and drivers were crawling along. the snow and slow drivers weren't the issue, it was the sad fact that bo salt trucks had gone by yet. So under every overpass there as a sheet of ice, and just beyond the ice, there was a wreck. Ok, made it safe and sound to the hotel. Beds are very comfy, but the room overall are basic. Classes are being taught by retired UAW electricians, so they get us easily and know what we are going through. That really helps out when there is a common ground, not just same company, same union, and skilled trade, so yeah they get us. But first two days started with the refreshers of the last two weeks, so was hard to stay awake. Today we did low voltage wiring, simple stuff, but same type of wiring principals used in residential wiring. Definately a better day! Still have 4 more years of this stuff, the "OJT" at work and 6 hours of schooling one night a week. Always wanted to do this, but never figured I'd get to start this late in my Ford carreer. My mind is frazzled, my hands and eyes don't work as well as they did when I took the entry test 10 years ago. But I will give it my best, just to get the chance to sit on my ass waiting for a radio call saying I need to get up and fix something, LOL! Getting paid to sit, rest and read my paper, hmm, will have to take my laptop in.

Found It!!!!!!!!

Well, I finally found the ever ellusive Friday! Have been looking for it for eight and a half years, without any idea of where to look. Now it has come, and gone. I am happy as hell to get it over with, "MY LAST FRIDAY AS A PRODUCTION EMPLOYEE!" But it was kind of sad as well. A coworker on the team right next to mine is also going into the maintenence program next Monday. Yet her team had a big meal and cake for her, while mine couldn't even be bothered to give a card. No congratulations, not even a you will not be missed card. I know I shouldn't be upset, they owe me nothing, but...... No worries I guess, next Monday I embark on a new stage of my Ford employment. Better pay, but mainly I no longer have to kill myself physically to earn my pay. I get to start using my brain again on my new job! WooHoo! Wishing you all the best! Oh, and Kay, keep your head up, you are a strong woman, tough as things may be at the moment, i know you will pull through! My well wishes and prayers to you and your family. =)

Loss of a "Friend"!?!

Ok, Saturday the 21st, I log onto my WoW account. An ex-guildie now on another server asks about my now infamous nephew. This friend is one that was once his sugar momma, and did not speak to me for almost a year because he told her not to. LOL! I wonder, what power does this kid have over older women that do not live close enough to verify his ..., umm, prowess? So she tells me the most recent wrong she is accussing him of, and the bad juju, kharma, etc, etc...., that follows it. Me having no clue where he is or what the hell he is up to, give a half ass answer. So then I log onto FB a lil while ago and find a message from her to me on how she already knew his location and his wrong doings. ( umm, ok) Now she is pissed at me because she expected the truth from me, "since she has been honest with me." (ROTFLMFAO!!!!) So now she unfriends me on WoW and I guess she deleted or suspended her FB account because she can no longer be found on FB. Or maybe she created a new acct under a differant name. But, now I wonder, "Am I supposed to be upset that she is angry at me and unfriended me"? I mean, honestly! Am I my nephew's keeper? Am I at fault for his actions? He is 23 years old, a legal adult. All I know is that he left Monday morning on an "emergency" and said he wouldn't be back till the 24th. Hell, maybe it was a great thing that she unfriended me, not like we talk, at all.

Lost in my Anger

Ok a few years ago I was talking with my Mom about my relationship issues. Her response was "Wow! Where is your anger? I see this huge fire burning in you. You are definately your father's son, but your fire is passion and is only equaled by his, which is anger. So I know you have it in you, but where is it?" Ok, not sure what to say to that. Figured not getting angry all the time was a good thing!?! So now we move into the current, and up to the past 14 months. (SIGH!) In that time span I've learned more about a family member then I ever expected to know. Worst part is that I did not get any of the knowledge from the person it was about. I found out from my Mom. I honestly think she tells me this stuff just so she can get me pissed off. Which sadly I have gotten extremely pissed, but I have not let it show, nore have I let it out. Good thing too, otherwise I would be blogging from jail, if they allowed internet access in jail. At the moment my mind is swirling with the latest bit of knowledge I was sideswiped with, just 40 minutes ago. My head is splitting and my body aches just from where I am trying to control my anger. If I had the name of the worthless motherfucker that did what has been aledged, he would already be dead! Shot multiple times then sliced into tiny fish food size bites. They would never find the useless, godless waste of human flesh! And again, since I have typed it and posted it, it would be considered premeditated, hence I would get the chair. LOL! For 1 bit of justice, I would get the chair, but for all he has done he currently walks the streets without a care in the world. But for a name I would gladly accept my fate, just for the chance to make him suffer!!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the best life has to offer for the new year!
Ohh, if I win the lottery, I'll come visit and take you all out for dinner.
