Well I haven’t
been keeping up with my Blog. It’s been 10 months since my last entry.
My sister
has really been through a lot last year. Her oldest son died in April of 2019 and then her
husband passed away from pancreatic cancer on May 29, 2019. After all that she
moved away to Florida and bought a house. She and her youngest son share the
home together. I don’t think I will be seeing my sister anymore since I don’t
have the money to go anywhere. I’ll be 75 this year on August 5 and my only
income is my Social Security check.
Most of the year of 2019 sucked. I got sick
with some kind of virus in January and then it came back in February. Then in
March I got Bell’s palsy. So I couldn’t go anywhere because my right eye wouldn’t
close. I had to keep my eye taped shut all though the summer. I couldn’t let it
dry out besides the sun and the wind made it hurt. I never saw so many doctors
in my life and then came the doctor bills.
But I managed to drive 5 hours to Iowa to see
my granddaughter graduate from high school. As her grandfather, I couldn’t let
that pass me by. I am so proud of her now that she is going to college. She is studying
to go into the medical field.

By November of 2019 all of my symptoms from
my Bell’s palsy have gone away. Oh there are still some things that I can
notice that didn’t get back to normal like my right eyebrow doesn’t go all the
way up like my left one does and my nose doesn’t flare out like it should but
it’s nothing that anyone else would notice but I can see it. I saw the doctor
yesterday and he said that it would probably be permanent.
When January 0f 2020 came around I came down
with the same virus that affects my sinuses. It went away until February and then
it came back for a while. I don’t know which is worse having the virus or getting
all those doctor bills, Holy Crap.
March seems like it will be a good month, I
hope. I don’t see any doctor bills coming any time soon and it's starting to get
warmer outside. It really gets cold living in Illinois.
The only major problem I see coming in June is
that I have to return my car. You see I have been leasing it and in June my 3
year lease will be up. I don’t have the money for a down payment for another
car and the thought of not having a car to get around in is really stressing me
out. I don’t know what I am going to do. Like I said I am going to be 75 this
year. I plan on living to be a 100 and there are so many things I want to do.
I want to have as much fun as I can for as long as I can but I have to have a
car to get around in. "May the Car gods deposit one in my parking lot"
