Body: Repeat in case you didn't see this on MySpace, my email, etc.
I can't sit up long tonight, but I wanted to share that I've been in and out of hospitals, intensive care units, and clinics for about the last 6 months. I'm doing some better, but they put me in the intensive care for chronic pancreaitis, while there, I suffered a pretty major stroke. We are waiting for the tests to see if I have pancreatic cancer, though the doctors really don't think I do, so that's a good beginning.
As a result, my family won't let me drive for a while, I'm just recovering my gross motor skills, but my handwriting, vision, and pattern speech is not recovered yet. The doctor said it will, be patient.
(Does he even know me? Ha, ha!)
Anyway, I've gotten all your emails, comments, phone calls and expressions of love. Please be assured that Rhonda loves you all just as much and is so thankful for your friendship and support. Few of you have I told any of this to.
In addition, while I was in the intensive care unit, Wal~Mart fired me. Aubrey won't let me look for a job for a while, so I'm at my Mom's for a short period of time, just letting her spoil me and feed me fresh from the garden veggies.
No, I'm not separated from Aubrey. In fact, he comes down every few nights to spend the night with me. My house in Hobbs is chaos right now, that's why I'm in Jal. Kenny, his sweet gf Cathy, and their son, Zach lives with us as well as Earl. Unfortunately, Zach screams about 12 hours a day, and I just couldn't heal in that atmosphere. Earl was not working, so he's with me getting a taste of small town life. We are on the library computers which we can check every few days.
Brandon moved back to Ohio, arrived safely last night, but you can imagine that did not help my depression any.
I've rattled on more than I should, but I wanted to offer my meager explanation. Now my cell phone doesn't work in Jal, but mom's number is 575-395-3094 and my cell (when I get back to Hobbs) is 575-691-6006.
I love y'all and miss you .
Tia, Mother Rhonda, Mom and the witch who is so very blessed to have so many supportive friends and family.
