Hurricane Update

We are still without power, and they are saying it may be several days before we do. We are alright and safe right now. We have running hot water and we have a LP powered cooking top. 21 of the 27 trees in our backyard are down and will have to be removed. Some of the metal roofing was blown away,...

Not that it matters at this point, but the words "property insurance" and "the state of Florida" don't exist. The insurance companies have largely left Florida. It can still be bought, but unless you are making $25,000 a month, you can't afford it. I'm lucky. Damage to my house right now might be... Sign in to see full entry.

Hurricane update. We are experiencing heavy winds and as the old joke went, "the rain continues to fall here at the Astrodome." As I have said several times, the topography of the land here is protecting us. A series of 75-90 foot trees surround us are dancing like crazy at their tops, but at ground...

We are under a hurricane warning right now. We had a dozen little storms roll through the area in the last 14 hours, causing some loss of power but nothing serious. The one good thing I can see as I watch the radar in motion is the steady west-to-east winds raking the southern ends of Louisiana,... Sign in to see full entry.

I posted this on my FB page to make sure everyone knows where we are. It looks as if this storm is gaining speed and traction, which tells me we are going to get more rain and wind than previously thought. FOR THE RECORD: We are well prepared for this storm. We both have ten to twelve days of... Sign in to see full entry.

Updates and Little Man

Good morning. It is a beautiful day after a series of heavy rainstorms replete with abundant bolts of lightning. Temps will be close to 100 again, but we're good with that. My wife continues to improve physically after her surgery. Lisa is having a few problems today, but everything considered, she... Sign in to see full entry.

I apologize for my continued absence, but things have been very stressful lately. A quick read of the comments tells me I must clarify a few things. Yes, Lisa still has dementia. That disease is a slow-moving situation that can take five or six years to decades to cause death. Lisa's issues were not... Sign in to see full entry.

Major Update

A lot has happened in the past twelve days, most of it not good, but there is a "happy ending." I will keep this short for now, but I hope to spell it out more clearly soon. Lisa began to have more whiteouts and seizures without much of an advanced warning. I took her to the ER in Valdosta... Sign in to see full entry.

We spent most of the day on the SGMC (South Georgia Medical Center) campus. Lisa saw four different doctors and had a special MRI. I had hoped to be home by 4:30, but we walked in the door here at 5:20. Lisa walked into the bedroom and collapsed, and I think she is sleeping by now. It takes me about...

An Update, A Memory, And A Shout Out

I didn't intend to be away for this long, but that's life. I will try to do better. My posts here will be sporadic for a while. I haven't been reading anything here lately, but I was happy to see Sea_Gypsy making a comment on my post. I missed ya, dear lady! The 'shout out' goes to Amanda. She sent...
