The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

First for THE GOOD: The week after Labor Day we went up to Yellowstone. That was a very enjoyable trip and we were able to see some great wildlife. We saw a grizzly bear along with a black bear. We were also able to witness a big Elk bull during the rut and interact with a herd of cows. That was really cool. We got some great pictures and saw some beautiful country. Also, Eddie got his CPAP and feels so much better! The first night he slept really good and Teri didn't sleep at all worrying if he was breathing cuz she couldn't hear him snoring. He is going to switch over to a BIPAP machine due to he needs a higher setting that he needs. But we can tell it is doing its job due to no more mid-day naps and falling asleep at his computer and he has TONS of energy and Teri can hardly keep up with him. Finally, this past weekend we went to the Circus and Rocky Mountain Raceway to the drag races with jetcars. We also got to spend the weekend with Teri's family. Teri loved the circus and we had a great time. Hanging out with the family was very enjoyable and it was a great weekend.

Now for THE BAD: Due to some personality conflicts at Teri's job, she decided it best to find another job. She was off for a couple weeks when she was offered a job at an electrical company. She worked one day and decided it was going to work out pretty good. But due to the luck lately, it was not meant to be.

THE UGLY: Teri has been experiencing gall bladder attacks for about a week now. Due to the side effects from this and having to call in sick to the new job, they decided that it wouldn't work out for them. After trying to explain about the gall bladder and the possibility of surgery, it was decided that they would move on to someone else for the position. Some things you just can't control and have to make the best of it and move on. So the concentration now is going to get Teri on COBRA and get the medical treatment necessary to get her feeling better so that she can find a job and get back to a normal life. It can't happen soon enough!!! Surgery is scheduled for Monday, October 13th.
