\nThere will be a longer one, but wanted to toss something up today.<\/p>\n

For those that are Facebook friends with me (and you all should be) you know the past few weeks\/months have been rough. I hurt my back bad back in December, and I was barely able to move, much less bend over. Wife is growing two kids, so she clearly can’t do anything. \u00a0Our house was in a state of disaster because we couldn’t pick anything up. \u00a0On top of that, my best 4 legged friend, Mosby… about a month ago we thought Violet poked him in the eye, because he started running into things. Meanwhile, the legal saga is literally unbelievable. Beyond what most of you even know, we’re talking things that no lawyer I’ve talked to has ever seen. Total bizarroworld.<\/p>\n

Against that backdrop, I had an epidural (actually a bit more than that, but basically an epidural) which I had no faith would work. Turns out, worked like a champ. VA told me to behave myself, so I’m laying in bed watching the full LOTR for the 7th time in a week as I play computer. I took my dog in yesterday to the vet, fearing that he had a brain tumor and I would lose my anchor, the little guy I turn to to just hold when things are dark. In fact, I threw up repeatedly because I was so worried he was dying. And the last thing I need is to lose my best friend, and have my 18 month old find him. Well, bad news is he’s blind. Like, totally. Good news, it doesn’t seem like dogs need sight much. As long as we don’t move anything, dude moves just fine. He wags, eats, comes to bed, everything he’s always done. \u00a0And has no lasting health issues, other than not being able to see anything.<\/p>\n

He did have some problems today, but that was because TAH, and especially Jonn and Parachute Cutie are the finest people to ever walk the planet, and the readers (dare I saw community) of you guys are just amazing. I came home from work and it looked like we were moving and no one told me. There were boxes EVERYWHERE. The baby shower thing you guys did was awesome and I sincerely love you all for it. I’m not kidding, the entire walkway in front of our front door was packed with stuff. Toys, dolls, diapers, everything.<\/p>\n

I’m grateful. I can’t say anything more than that, just eternally grateful for all of you. I’m excited to expand our family, and give Violet two brothers she can boss around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
