WOW! 8 years went fast lol. Well not really.
Our time in the military came to a close this past week. He received his DD214 in the mail.
I have mixed feelings, I am glad that he won't be deployed anymore, but on the other hand I have missed the active duty I have for 4 years now. Even though he was active for the tour in Iraq 08-09 it still wasn't living on a base.
So the new chapter in our life has started really. Duane is in school full time now, he is going to a local college here in IN. He loves it for the most part. He also has 2 online class that he doesn't like so much the one is okay but the other the teacher is a butt hole lol.
So during the summer we will be taking all of his classes on campus.
I am super proud of him and always have been.
So now I am Army vet's wife. :)

It has been a while since I wrote, we are doing great so far, since this last deployment. Went back right in where we left off, things have changed around the household though, grandma has took a turn for the worse.
Nicole is in a custody battle over Corden.
Erika is moving to FL. with Robby.
All in a matter of 6 months.
I also am not working as of this past week, a lot of soul searching was done this week and I am going to stay at home and be a stay at home housewife lol. I will be taking care of grandma along with hospice, she is at The Maples for rehab after a bout of getting really dehydrated and a UTI and her dementia is a lot worse that comes a long with those symptoms as well.
As far as the Army goes, we might stay in after his contract is up in 2011 in the spring I think it is for the best, it is stable, with this job market nothing is that stable.
Got to go and fold socks lol

Well
Well,
This deployment is coming to an end.
There is so much I want to talk to him about, like personal stuff and it just can't happen until he gets home, somethings might upset him greatly, I don't want to do that over there.
I can't wait until he gets home though, I miss him so much, I hate this wait, it is wearing on me so.
Going to bed now,

Hi all
Well, it is has been a while again, R&R is over, you can view my pics on here or on face book.
We had a wonderful time, I didn't want him to go back, since he has been back, I had the a cold when he was here and it got a little bit worse when he left, due to stress I am sure.
Then a couple of weeks ago, started feeling pain on the way to work on a Tue, right after Memorial weekend, I was off on Mem. day and I felt really bad on the way to work then the more I was at work the worse I felt, I told my boss that something was wrong and of course she him hawed around and I was in so much pain, I started to get sick, it was awful, my asst. offered to take me to the ER, she went and told my boss that I had to go, my doc. told me to go now.
She stayed with me, and so did our maintenance man he stayed for a bit too, then they left, I was all alone, and in so much pain, I was throwing up a little, and they had 2 emergencies come in 2 people with heart attacks so they couldn't get to me until about an hour later, they started my IV then left for a while, it seemed like forever, then my nurse came in with the doc, she felt my stomach, and said, she was sure it was a kidney stone, I thought it was an ovary that burst.
They started some pain meds, I had a CT scan, they did see however an ovary that was enlarged and they said, do you know you have Deg. disc disease, I am like, yep, I do know that, lol
Well I went back to work the next day they were hoping that I would pass it, I had to call a Urologist and he wanted to see me, he said, that I would need surgery so they scheduled it for that Friday, my boss was not happy that I had to have surgery, that meant 3 of us at work all had surgery on that day.
Oh, well, she would not have survived a kidney stone, she goes home all the time with all kinds of stuff wrong with her, I worked 2 days in pain, then had surgery, take care of things here after surgery, then had to get stuff at wal-mart that Sunday, and was off that Monday due to a stint they had to have in all weekend, that hurt like hell, let me tell you.
It was bad, it was a horrible experiance to go through all by yourself, that is a coupld times this deployement that I have had to do that, plus everything that goes on here.
Last weekend my mom fell, she had a slight concussion, she has a cracked tailbone, and a compress fx. of her middle back, she is so stubborn, she needs to start using her walker.
The doc. started her on a kidney pill and she doesn't want to take it, I am going to start counting her pills, she reminds me so much of her dad, he was so stubborn as well, he didn't take care of himself at all.
Well I have work to do around here,
another day and life of an army wife, alone, and on the last stretch of this deployment.
