my mind is a bit overwhelmed. i am up in bellingham trying to get things on track for temple season and i just found out that my little cousin passed away this last thursday from something that included a 2 week fever, and lead up to liver failure. he was like 8. the memorial is tomorrow in tacoma, so i have to return earlier than planned. there are several details, that i don't know. i had just woken up when my mom called, so i don't remember everything. and today i also found out that one of my dear friends has gotten himself into something involving the FBI. he been gone for several weeks now. I found out from his wife he's supposed to testify against a guy. but there is a possiblity that the other guy may turn things on him and my friend may get 10-15 years or he does testify he will have to go into witness protection and vanish. he has a little daughter too. his wife just found out why he's been gone and everything else just this week.
I had my consultation last week with my orthopedic surgeon about my knee. We're going to try for 6-7 weeks of physical therapy. then re-evaluate then. it is feeling better, but my knee cap, still tries to slip sideways from time to time if i don't have my brace on.
All this an work is goig no wheres fast. i have not had much ability to focus. as much time as i should, but atleast i am gettigna littel time in daily.
the house anf yard is looking a bit better. My knee has REALLY slowed down my plans. but a little is better than none.
hugs to all. I do love you all, with the suddenness of my cousin's death, I get the sharp jolt of reality of how fast things change. and how we all need to take time to appreciate our loved one.
one step at a time...
death,
knee,
friend
