And the costs keep rising...

My wife spent 10 days in the hospital and I was only physically able to visit get twice.

Three days after she was released her dad suffered a massive stroke was hospitalized fir a week before being transfered to a rehab facility. I have yet to be physically able to visit him.

My wife is currently staying at her oarents house (she has been there almost 2 weeks) as she recovers from surgery and, despite the fact that she is virtually next door, the steps in the house combined with the low seating furniture cause do much knee pain (rising up from a low chair, sofa, or toilet) has kept me from staying over there with her or even visiting her more than a few times.

I don't know if my back pain or bad knees will ever allow me to do the things I would like to do. One thing I do know is that I will never again take for granted the things I now find difficult if not impossible.

It has been 6 months since I was able to work and a year since I was able to attend church regularily. If i weren't careful it would be so easy for depression to fill those voids in my life...
