Day 64 July 17

So here goes, maybe this will clear my mind and help me learn how to blog rather than post.  About 7 years ago I lost my best friend in a homicide followed by him hanging himself.  5 years ago my oldest daughter almost died twice, of meningitis and pneumonia,  shortly after that I started having an intense pain in my side that took about 2 years to lead to a back fusion that I continue to suffer chronic pain from.   In the meantime my husband was fired from a job of 23 years, and then a minimum wage job of a 1 1/2.  I suffer from migraines for about the last 20 years, fibromyalgia,  high blood pressure, diabetes, and of course being overweight from meds.  In the last year and a half I have been hospitalized 5 times in the psychiatric unit at the local hospital, each time for about a week or a little more.  Every time, though I seem to get a little better.  My latest diagnosis is Bipolar II, anxiety disorder, and depression.  Hopefully all being situational.  I don't know how to tell it any shorter, but that is me and my family in a nutshell.  That is why it is so important to me to keep Praisin' the Lord Thru This Storm...
