8-5-04 Update

ok this is just a little update I have found 2 DOCTORS can you belive it one is Dr. Black (Nov. 2.) and he is in Anniston and the other in in Montgomery with Dr. Williams (Oct. 13) I am hoping not to need to go to Dr. Williams as he is 3 1/2 hrs. away and I would hate to have to drive that every 2 weeks or so But with Dr. Black its just 1 1/2 hrs. I have heard good things about both of these Doctors so I hope to be able to see one of them the reason I have 2 doctors is that Dr. Blacks office might not take my ins. when it came time for my visit and surgery so on that we just have to pray I would really not like to drive 3 1/2 hrs. with something wrong I am in better spirts today as I am alone my child has gone on a day trip with her Doctors group and that gives me free time to do something waiting on the person that cleans my house to get here she has not shown up for 2 weeks now and my house is a mess I am going to do every thing I can to get it done today with her help or not I cant live with the mess. Please keep me in your prayers as I am not 100% in the mood thing I am up and down on a lot of things but not about this surgery that I am 100% sure that I must have to live cause I can not live like this any more so keep me in your prayers I need them sorry I have written a book but need to talk it all out so let me know how you are doing and what good things life is giving you right now
