Sharing is caring!

I need to give you a bit of recent history for the headline to make any sense. I began to have a health problem on the 29th of June this year. It turned out to be more irritation than anything else, but it required a day surgery and many many many trips to a hospital about 100 miles away. I’m sure you all know that I am a permanently disabled veteran with a 100% disability rating. I don’t think of myself as that disabled. I carry on as best I can. It’s tough on my wife because she goes through whatever I do. She is my caregiver and the Veterans Administration says they are going to pay her for that. She is tired too. She suggested we not put up the Christmas tree. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I so want things to be normal, but I know they never will be. Somehow not having a normal Christmas was a dive into the bottomless pit of the blues. I know I’ll recover. We will put up the tree. I just don’t know how many more times I can make that dive.
