spinning around the living and dying

It'ds been an exggausting and sometimes crazy morning.  Of course some time it is this damn time change. Why is it sprnging forward and falling back?  Who asked it to at such a confucing time.  I have been miserable much of the day, not happy to still be alive, trying to figure an attitudet for this "mode" of living.  Am I passing time, living to die or liiving to make simethubg if tune agaub,  Cae has been a  delight;  
we did some birthday stuff with him and he is so happy to be the bday guyl  They got me into the wheel chair and we almost all got banged up and broken in the painfull, sometimes bloody effortl  It seemed the thing to dol  I will never do it againl  A meaningless, exghausting accomplishment followed by what will no doubt become a tradtion of the birthday grandpa toss. Now I will rest in the bed and see if I can make some sense out of all this crazy stuff i have been enganging in with my crazy, beautiful familyl  Maybe toorrow or even tonight there will be some happinessl Hold me and kiss me strong people, and we will scratch each other[s backs and find out how to cry behind our sleeves becaue it is all really nothingl  Ohl  for some control.

Yeah, the loss of control. I think that will be the hardest part for me. I'm glad Cae had his birthday, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of what YOU did. End up on the deck?

SO Glad to have you around for b-day #5!

Caetano came home to tell me many stories about his impromtu b-day bash, spongebob cake, and super exiting presents. He was so happy!

He told me all the people that were there and I was very grateful that you were listed as an attendee. I know you feel really bad right now. I pray for some relief. We love you!

This is Meg, at my Dad's request, clarifying the story of the "Grandpa Toss." For the record, readers, no one tossed Grandpa onto the deck. Dad wanted a change of scenery on Sunday, so Ben built a ramp from the back patio door onto the deck. The big event of the day was to move him from his hospital bed to the wheelchair so he could get some fresh air. He's not able to stand on his own now, so it took a village (okay, primarily my brother) to move him. Unfortunately, his body did not want to cooperate, and any touching of his skin with hard surfaces (including a wheelchair) is quite painful for him. Gail, Charla and Ben got him from the bed to the chair and onto the deck, but the experience was more pain than pleasure. It was a short-lived excursion, and it took us all to get him back into the bed. However, I assure you that there were no broken bones, cuts or blood involved. It was more of a "heave ho", than a Grandpa Toss.

I'm here

Scott,

Glad to know you weren't really thrown on the deck! Not sure you could bounce as well as you used too! You are an amazing man my friend. I hope peace for you and Gail and the family. Know that I'm thinking about you and I love you all.

Just so you know, I'll be in Texas in Dec and then I'm off to Baghdad again. I'll be expecting you to watch over me! :)
