bypass

this morning after my dads tests we were informed that he needs tripple bypass surgery. the surgery is set for 7:30 am, so scott and will be there at about 6. i am a complete wreck. i dont think ive cried this much...ever.

surgery

my dad is going under the knife tomorrow. apparently the bottom of his heart isnt working quite right. doctors at troy beaumont will be giving him a heart cathetarization, which (depending on wat they find) may lead to more surgeries. making me a bit uneasy.

he and his mom, granny are coming for dinner tonight. i cant wait.

please send your prayers

crunch!

so today...

i loaded the car with kids, put the car in reverse, when a huge hornet came in the passenger side window straight at me. so i opened my door; as it was coming straight for me i got out. (mind you i\the car was still in my driveway next to my house\front porch). so when i opened my door and got out, the car rolled backwards toward the street ... Read Morecatching my door in the rungs of my front porch, tearing and crunching the door backwards. doing so also caught the faucet for the hose ripping that off. so water is spraying out like crazy, and my yukon is rolling toward the street. i lose my flip flops and run back to my car full of kids, swing my leg into the rolling car and slam on the brake.

so my door is broken.

not totally, but enough to pay a $500 deductible, and not opening more than 8 inches or so.

bummer.

*no kids or hornets were hurt in this ordeal*
