We made it through okay. It was pretty scary for a while. We had gusts over 100mph and way more rain than was expected. No damage to our house but a lot of branches and debris from the 3 big oak trees we have. The community I work in sustained heavy damages. We are still assessing and there's a crew from several of our northern properties arriving today to help with clean up and making sure our resident's homes are secure. I'm glad you're back with us. @rickproehl I hope the second opinion yields a better course of treatment for you. I've got another busy day ahead of me but at least I was able to sleep last night. Have a good day everyone! 7 Link to comment

Popular Post rickproehl Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2022 Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. Just wanting to stop in and say Hi Just got done with the Doctor they took blood / did a culture and changed my wound care - i see them in 2 weeks and they might used silver nitrate to close / heal the wound. so surgery is still a possibility but they think this will work. take care of yourself 2 7 Link to comment

Popular Post kbois Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 Things are finally settling down and clean up from the hurricane has gone extremely well. It's been really stressful though. The park I manage has a lot of damage, but thankfully most of it is minor to moderate. We did have one home which is a total loss. She has no insurance and is planning on having the home torn down. We've had an extra dozen maintenance guys that came down from our northern properties to help with clean up. They put tarps on at least 20 homes that needed it plus removed awnings, taped windows, chopped up trees and limbs, plus anything else that needed to be done. They worked their tails off. Coordinating everything has been like trying to juggle while riding a unicycle. Difficult, but not impossible. I've never been so drained, mentally, physically and emotionally in my life. Last Friday and Saturday I had to do a complete walk around every home to document damage and I had two guys hauling a ladder around to inspect roofs. There are 234 homes. My feet and knees are still pissed at me. As much as I appreciate the help, I'm looking forward to everyone leaving tomorrow. I need peace and quiet. My vacation was amazing. Alaska is beautiful. We enjoyed Vancouver too. I posted a blog if anyone is interested. It was quite the adventure. I hope everyone has a good day! 3 6 Link to comment
Popular Post Mikiesboy Posted October 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2022 So.. life has been pretty good lately. My shrink agreed to visits every two weeks from weekly. i feel good. i feel like i am coping with my world better. i feel positive, like there is a reason to live and to be happy for the first time really since i was a kid. i'd have moments of that but it never lasted more than a day or two. Now is different somehow. Like someone lifted a veil or something. i don't know if it will last, but knowing that i may have a downturn, doesn't scare me anymore. That's who i am. Depression is part of me, but not all of me and i need to love that part too and accept it. But now i feel i can control my triggers .... i can see them coming. Usually, i'd just take the negative path, but i've been able to stop myself. i've been able to be positive and then decide to go and talk to Michael or Dan and keep myself from sliding too far, if at all. This doesnt feel like a manic phase either. It's been awhile since i've been feeling like this and yeah, i hope i can keep it going. i hope all of you are well and doing okay. 13 Link to comment
