Okay now for our update...
The last few months have been very busy with my work. Trying to get my store turned around and starting going in the right direction. I think I have started that (which is great news).
At the end of July I tried to chop my left index finger tip off. So I got to go to a clinic and get several stitches and was told I may have problems with the tip having normal feeling. It still feels funny but better then it did. On August 1st my full time employee (really my ONLY employee) quit. So I luckily had hired a girl for another store but she needed trained. So I was working open to close for a good 3 weeks...which made me sick...I got strep throat and a sinus infection. I worked 60+ clocked hours and then worked off the clock because the local managers for my company decided to do 3 open house (one in each store)...so I worked for weeks off the clock on that. The open houses...let us just say... the first one sucked...the second (which was mine) was hurricaned out thanks for Hurricane Fay...and the third was a great hit. But my store seems to be improving---or at least that's what the numbers say!
As for Don...about 4 weeks ago he was again laid off because too many people are going for direct cremations and not having a full funeral service. So we talked about it and he decided to go to truck driving school (he has done it before but let his CDL lapse). But he couldn't pass a urine test. He had too much protein in his samples. So the school sent him home to see his normal doctor. (While to be honest we don't have a "normal" doctor we are between doctors. So I had him go to the walk in clinic/doctor's office I have been going to (which the normal doctor is a heart doctor). He went and come to find out Don has some heart problems. He has been out of school for a couple weeks now and has had a few doctor's appointments. Come to find out...Don's left ventricle is enlarged or thickened, he has high blood pressure, and he has a extra heart beat (yes they found his heart so it's true he does have one...and the nurse practitioner says his wiring is misfiring). They put him on a couple of different heart meds and than sent him for a CAT scan of his kidneys which didn't show anything wrong. So they are saying his extra protein is do to his high blood pressure. The doctor's office is releasing him to go back to school so now we are waiting on the school to call him back so we can see if they will let him go back. But on other news...he has at least one job interview this next week and hopefully more...
Everything else here is fine. We were lucky enough to be missed by ALL the hurricanes...but we are ready if any decide to come visit. We are praying for our friends in the Houston area. They are out of their home right now and we hope to hear from them soon. Please keep all those in your prayers!
Well that is all for my update for now! I hope to be better at updating more often. Have a great week!
