Hey Everyone,

I am just check in to say Hi! I am still on ELOA due to my wife's medical condition. I want to thank everyone that have sent me messages and kind words over the last 2 months. Lynn is doing well and came through the surgery with flying colors. We have had and still have a few little issues but nothing serious. She is recovering and out on disability and pretty much is wiped by 4 PM each day. In the last 2 months, I have been working less and handling all of the duties with home and the kids sports and outside activities. Now we are getting hit with the deductible and shitty paychecks due to disability and my lack of working full-time (my income being 100% commission). I have been working long hours in the last few weeks to rectify this financial situation (thank god I have a Job where if I work more hours I make more money).

Most days I actually look forward to getting home and jumping online and fragging and bagging and shooting the shit with you guys and pubers, ONLY to simply sit in the computer chair and nod off. Hopefully in the next month or so I will be able to get back on each night and get back to my normal schedule.

I have to say with all this going on, I am one of the luckiest guys on the planet. I have my wife and best friend of 24 years still with me and my 2 great children still have their mother. Funny how difficulties in life make you realize how fucking good you have it! I am amazed at how many of you guys reached out with kind words and just asked how I was doing. We all deal with issues and problems in our lives and sometimes just being positive in how you deal with them makes all the difference.

As I am writing this, Quarterman just invited me to Realism, LOL. I am awake, Happy and I think I will take him up on his offer tonight!

While I don't know the situation, I still am glad to hear that your wife pulled through and is on the road to recovery. It does help to have friends around every corner to lend a helping hand, a listening ear, or some encouraging words. I wish you and your family a speedy recovery both health and financial! We will see you in the pub soon and glad you took a little time for a nail biting realism!
