So life sucks once again for my big brother. He has to go to the hospital tomorrow, which is his birthday, to find out how much of his foot they have to cut off. They didn’t think they would have a problem with it but I guess they did. So either part or his entire foot will be removed. Now Brian was playing high school and college football, wanted to teach so he could coach and has always been very active, you can imagine how much this sucks for him. What they are going to do it replace whatever it is they need to remove with skin that will harden over time to feel like a bone. But it is so close to his Achilles tendon that if he is able to walk again he will always walk with sharp pains, that I guess he will just need to get used to. His right arm is also giving him trouble again. At first they thought they would need to remove it, but then they didn’t, and now they are thinking they may need to if he continues to not be able to move it and have PT. Like he really does not need this, all the crap we all went through as kids, it just sucks so bad. And yea he’s alive which of course is a miracle and wonderful and they best thing ever, but to Brian not being able to walk and run will be the next worst thing to death. So that’s Brain. Ok, Brian’s mom, Sue, got a hold of our other brother Stephen, Brian’s twin, who I haven’t even talked to since I was 6. Well Sue talked to his parents and they are going to talk to Steve tonight and see if he wants to contact Brian, Will and I. But Stephen has CP and has always had problems but right now he is bed ridden from a recent spine/brain surgery. Then Will has been getting into lots of trouble, not really dealing with his pain all that well. So there’s that, and camp just ended, had a great time. Loved most my girls. And the weekend was a blast...now just waiting for school to start...oh joy!
