I swear, I haven't had anything good happen here in so long I've forgotten what it feels like. First, I got breast cancer. OK, did all that treatment. Then grew a polyp which bled like crazy anytime I moved (due to the anti-cancer medication). OK, so I had that removed.
Then hubby had this bleeding thing and spent 5 days in the hospital.
Here's the latest: hubby has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Well, we live on 17 acres, it needs constant work, you know the mowing stuff and it isn't level so, in years past, he has spent hours on the tractor with the bush hog keeping everything mowed. Well, I can't drive that darn thing....it's just too big for me. He cannot physically do it anymore. And he isn't going to get any better.
So, the long and short of it is, we'll be putting our house up on the market at some point, probably soon. We'll need someplace smaller. If I can get a place with 5 flat acres - great. I should be able to keep that up. If not, well, hubby is more important than the horses so they will have to go.
Right now I'm just caught in a nightmare. What in the world am I going to do??? We have put our hearts into our place. The thought of looking for something else is so depressing.
And these next two months we are driving an hour and a half (one way) back and forth to all kinds of specialists for all sorts of testing.
Seems like the bad news just won't stop.
