Dear friends I am asking for your prayers tomorrow as I go for my second hip surgery this year.

I know that my issues to compare to many others here are nothing but for me it's been just one thing after another for about 18 months. This year alone my Grandmother and my Mother died. I also had my first hip surgery this February, after 7 years of severe chronic pain.

And just in the past month is has been non stop with "fighting" with my Brother over some very stressful issues and a family friend that has been attacking me for homeschooling (which admittedly has been sparse this year)

For months I have dealing with a spiritual nervous breakdown, and I am close to a physical one! I did receive the anointing of the sick and confession this week and that helped tremulously. But I am very much struggling with not being able to drive for 2 months and the very difficult recovery that I have ahead of me with no emotional support.

Thanks for your prayers.......

Thank you for all of your prayers. I am home now and doing pretty good. This surgery was way better than the first. They didn't hit a nerve this time, YEA! However, I still have many week of recovery a head of me.

In God's very funny sense of humor, I was taking to my Peditrition as I was being prepped for surgery because my two youngest were playing a bit rough trying to impress their baby sitter.    He ended up with three stitches in his forehead!!!!! The good news is that I was extremely distracted when I would have been normally freaking out!

He is now fine and my babysitter promised that she would come back and watch my boys again.

Thanks 4 Lads!

I got the first of one sock done and I am well into the second! And I have a shawl that I have been working for a year that I want to finish.

I am trying to enjoy the long hours in my bed and the freedom to knit, craft and read at will. Not to bad of trade off for not being able to walk, right?
