Praying for you and your family

 

I'm thankful for stuff, but it's really hard to show it right now. Wanna know why? I'll tell you. We were going to paint our cabin as a family today except one of my sisters and brother in law decided not to show uo until after dark. So my father and I did most of the work wgile my other sister kind of helped and my mother cooked. The same sister that didnt show til dark, convinced my mother that we should have pot roast instead of turkey and then didn't bother to show up for lunch or tell us they weren't going to make it til tonight. So we waited an hour after the food was ready before we ate, so thanksgiving meal was cold. And now the only reason I'm awake is because less than an hour after I fell asleep, my brother in law burst thru the door of my room and woke me up. I told em it was the wrong room, he didn't say anything, proceeded to the bathroom and slams the door. comes out and slams it again and crawls into the bed next to my bed, where all my clothes and stuff are. I'm wide the fuck awake now. he's still wearing his clothes and shoes. if I only had a sharpie right now....

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it. When I take my son to the VA I see a lot of young men that are in very bad shape both physically and otherwise. I have PT twice a week for my back, often times I see people in their suffering from all kinds of issues. One lady, much younger than me, is learning how to walk again. It's not hard to be thankful when you see stuff like that every week. I appreciate the prayers and kind words, I hope you and you're family had a great Thanksgiving.

 

well said..

 

I want to add that I am very thankful that there are brave souls like your son that sacrifice so much for us. Please let him know how much he is appreciated and respected. For your back, ask your doctor to prescribe a new drug called "Pennsaid 2.0%" . It saved my life! I had several surgeries, was taking up to 36 pain pills a day! Now I take no pain pills at all! Pennsaid is a topical pain killer that you rub on the affected area, it evaperates in seconds... 5 MINUTES LATER, no pain! No pain! And it has no affect on your head like pain pills do.Its brand new drug, my physical theropist actually went to a conference and learned about it and suggested it. When i asked my doctor about it, he had never heard of it, but looked it up, its not a scheduled drug, so he prescibed it.


I am going to keep you, your son and your wife in my prayers, i wish you the best brother.

 

I'm thankful to go home to my family after this:
