Update...

It has been a while since I posted...but a lot has gone on.  Since I last posted, we decided it was time to get rid of all the goats.  I couldn't handle to keep loosing them, and with the cost of hay rising every day, it got to the point we just couldn't afford it.  We were able to sell them all together to one family.

On May 8th, Greg had a massive heart attack.  At the time we had no clue what it was...but didn't want to take any chances to we drove him to University Hospital.  A good thing as within 15 minutes of getting there...he passed out, and basically died for about 2 minutes.  He was in the hospital for about a week...and is home, taking it one day at a time.  Now a little over 2 months later his is doing well....he just tires out more quickly.  We think he is on the road to recovery.

June...I turned 53, and couple days later, we drove to Minnesota...to pick up my son Dwight.  There is a lot here to talk about so I will do that as a separate post...It is good to have him around and spend some time getting to know each other again.

I have been going through some health issues...my back has gotten so bad, I can hardly walk.  I have always had a fear the day would come, since my back injury over 10 years ago, but I didn't want to face it.  Now the back part is ... I find myself without a job and health insurance.  While Colorado has a program to help those without insurance CICP.  It doesn't cover everything.  While it covers me going to the doctor...they tell me there are many things they could do to help me, however without insurance they can't refer me to them...things such as physical therapy.  The unfortunate thing is that while my back may be fixable, without being able to to the things to fix it...the longer it goes, are my chances of getting it fix diminishing with time?  This is where the frustration enters.  I miss walking through the woods, going out and working on projects.  I had all these plans...now I have to worry about if I can walk tomorrow.  I am NOT going to let this take over my life!!!  I will fight for the help I need.
