All Things bright and beautifulI'm sure some of you have heard some of my troubles with the home life. Got a text message today from my daughter saying my wife had shot herself. Yesterday. Out in the kennel building where she has a living space set up and goes to hide when she gets upset. Used her 22 and put one in her neck. Of course, it didn't do the trick and she was still alive when my daughter went out there. I'm sitting in the hospital room where she was life flighted to. Seems like she may be paralyzed from her waist down for now. Lots of pain. Had just a couple minutes to talk with a doctor so maybe I'll get more info later. She had threatened to do it but never really took it seriously. No clue what will happen next.
I haven't logged in in weeks, but damnit Dave I had to for this. So sorry to hear. My heart goes out to you and your family.She's gone.
I'm out of here for a while. My father just had a stroke and I'm heading for Wisconsin now. This is too much.
I hope you made it up here ok. Nasty weather right now, stay safe! Get in a basement!I'm out of here for a while. My father just had a stroke and I'm heading for Wisconsin now. This is too much.
So glad you made it home safely and hopefully their spot on the lake here is OK. We just got home from looking down the street where our barn is and it's OK but to the north just another 1/2 mile it's not. Looks like a tornado went through and explains why we have no power. I heard and saw there are a few close spots west and over towards their place with same stuff.Just got home. Round trip to Milwaukee. They were on their way to their trailer in Wisconsin and luckily they stopped for lunch and it hit there. People took care of both of my folks waiting for the ambulance, paid the check, drove their car somewhere for them, etc. Good people. Gave him a clotbuster and he had surgery to pull out the chunks. Got good bloodflow to his brain again and he was awake and talking when I got there. Trying to crack jokes! Messed up some vision in left eye and left side of body is very weak but he can move arms and legs. Going to be there for a while. I hung around for a while and beat feet for home trying to beat the storm. Pretty nasty up there but just windy here. Guess I missed it by just a few minutes, the air was brown from all of the dirt blowing.
Not quite what I had planned for today. I waved from my porch chair when they drove past this morning and started some more cleaning and had to sit down for a bit when my sister texted me. Damn, I wasn't ready for that. Feeling a lot better now that I've seen him but he's going to have a long road ahead of him at 85. We'll see how the updates go. Time to get some sleep!

Everything dried up before it hit us here at home but I was skirting the edge going home. It sure looked nasty! Haven't heard anything yet about the trailer park on the lake. Can't remember the name of it but it's next to Soldiers and Sailors Park.So glad you made it home safely and hopefully their spot on the lake here is OK.
