Susan, when it rains it pours. I’ve had sciatica, and disc surgery last year. It is the most painful thing I have ever experienced (keep in mind I had an episiotomy, 30 stitches). My son was up coughing at 2:30 AM. He’s 12. You are a saint and I bow down to you. Exhausted is the new I’m fine. Sending you love and hugs from the trenches. XO 🥰🤗

Ah Amy! My new favorite friend. Thank you. You’re right: exhausted is the new I’m fine. Thank you for the love and the hugs. I need them both! 😘

"Exhausted is the new "i'm fine." You are a genius, Amy Gabrielle.

Hi Susan, I’ve been following this for quite a while, and I’m so happy for Mr. Lucky that things will be working out. Will he be able to have his cats at the new place? I’m amazed at your strength in dealing with both of the boys’ problems. But then, Moms do that, don’t we? My son had cancer at 26 and I thought I would fall apart, but I got it together for him. It sounds like Mr Rugby needs a specialist. Gentle hugs for you all.

What a delicious read!! I can't stop smiling. I was worried Mr. Lucky would refuse to get out of bed and blow the appointment. So happy for you both.

Thanks, Anne! If he'd refused to get up, I'd be replying from jail!

Oh, Susan. Dear Susan. You don’t get access to electronic devices in jail unless you have money on your books. LOL!

Glad you're getting the Orlando trip you wanted and praying they have all the answers you're hoping for when you get there. Safe travels and please don't just deliver them a body! xoxo
