Off work

On Aug 10 I fell at work and hurt my left knee and my right side of my back, so I have been off work. Doing homework for my course and just resting my knee. I also go to therapy twice a week. So today I went to the Dr to find out when I could go back to work. Now my boss called yesterday and wants me to come back next Thursday, but the Dr said no two more weeks off. I know that my boss is not going to be happy,but I need to be able to bend and move just like I did before I fell. So now I will try to get more of my course done. I would like to be finished it by the end of Dec.But we will see.

today is better

Well today was better than yesterday. I spent most of the day with my dad. He is 87 and full of wonderful stories of life. I love listening to him talk about his life. He never was much of a dad when I was growing up but in the last few years that sure has changed. I have learned a lot about him and why he is the way he is. He was raised in a boarding school till he was 10 spoke no English only French, was taken out of there when a nun beat him so bad his hands where bleeding. My Nan and him lived in a boarding house and she worked full time. When he was 19 he joined the services to fight in the 2nd world war and was a prisoner when he was captured in Dieppe in 1942, He was there till the end of the war. He never talked about this till a few years ago. He is a funny old duff as he says what he wants and doesn't care what any one thinks or says about him. He loves his grandchildren and he is very proud of each of them, if he isn't he will tell them.Lol. He is always trying to teach me a life lesson even now.About 5 years ago he bought me a van, than he told me I had to pay at least $400. so I would appreciate what I had paid for. I laughed and said at this time of my life I appreciated whatever I got. But he wanted to teach me something and felt that even at my age I needed to learn this again.

here we go

Ok so I finally got the nerve up to post. My son says I should do this so I will try. Not that I have anything profound to say just things that come to my small mind. Today is a interesting day, in the fact that my youngest has left home, not because of age but of circumstances in her life. She is having a baby which at first was a huge shock but as days go by we have come to the place where we can now offer to help her along this path. I cry as I write this for dreams lost, but look to the future with hope for both my baby and her baby.

There are a million things going on in my head, but I can't even put them all down,as they don't make any sense. So for my first time this will be it. As the days go by I will try to write more.
