Another update....
Lets see. Where to begin again. Its been since May since my last update. Dad went in for surgery again. Three weeks after the last one the tumor came back and they took it out like the first one. Two major surgeries in three weeks nearly killed him but he pulled through ok. They made him wear a brace that looked like a turtle shell until the muscles in his back healed enough to support him. He gets around now with a walker, a wheel chair and a power chair that we got lucky and picked up second hand very cheaply. It needed a set of batteries and a little TLC. I got it running for him the last time I visited. The place in his back is ok so far. Currently his biggest issue is with the tumor in his esophogas. He has been having a hard time swallowing and getting food down. He went in yesterday and the Dr. stretched out his esophogas to allow food to pass easier. That procedure went very well and he had no complications.
My daughter is currently in a psychiatric hospital. She had a major blowout with her mother on friday and she had to take her to the emergency room. They admitted her to the hospital. Turns out her meds needed to be adjusted. These doctors think the first one had her on the wrong stuff and that was what caused the blowout. She is still getting used to her bipolar condition. For that matter I suppose I am too. She has been begging to come live with me. And everytime I get in a position to actually allow that to happen she does something to fuck it up. Either she does or her mother does. It is extremely frustrating. And since we are on the subject of my wonderful children I will continue the tale with my son Joshua. He still isn't speaking to me. I have tried several times to work on that. At best I have gotten just a few words out of him. He is pissed because his mother and I aren't getting along all that well and he doesn't like the way that I have treated her in the past. At least thats the story I get from his mom. She and I have been really going at it hard lately. She has called the command saying that I haven't paid child support which is absolute crap. I sent her a check that she refused to sign for and it sat at the post office. When it was late and she finally went to get it it was late so she called the command to complain.
I did my last little bit of sea time and my last maintenance period on the boat. Thats all done now. I am currently on 20 days worth of free house hunting/job hunting leave. I go back for about 4 days and then start 51 days of terminal leave. Working on finding a job now. Beyond that and all of the crap going on with Dad, Jami, Josh, and job hunting I am about worn the fuck out.
I will post as things change. Heres to hoping they get better.
