Our son is back at college. We are hoping this is his last year. We thought that two years ago but he had more classes to take then he thought, plus he has had to retake a couple of classes. Our son really likes the town that the college is in. It is a small town with many farmers around it. A loves the closeness of that. We pray that A will have some sort of job after college but do fear that he won't as his major is Creative Writing. I do believe that he will look for something to be able to pay the bills and write on the side. A is not a student like me so I am proud that he is trying to get this degree.
Our youngest goes back to college next week. Once again that long nine hour drive. K has this year and hopefully half of the next. But as we know with colleges these days, it takes longer than what you planned.
I am four and a half weeks since my bunion surgery. I do drive but limit to how long due to the pain. I don't think I will make the trip to Michigan. I do still have to elevate that foot. I am suppose to go back to work in about three weeks. But I have been applying for an office job. That would be so much easier on my feet along with the rest of my body. If I can't get that I know there are other types of stores that would be easier on my body. I will apply for those places once I can do work being on my feet.
I will be sharing links again of my son's articles for his college's newspaper. My son-in-law has a full time job writing for a sports website. I will be sharing those articles also. Both of these young men are talented writers.
Happy Beginning of a New School Year!!!

Post Bunion Surgery
Two weeks since surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got my stitches out today and can wear regular socks. I still have to wear the bunion shoe, walk on the side of my foot or the heel and can't drive. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to remember that I did this so I could walk again without pain and to realign my toes. I hate my feet.
I don't understand why I have to go through all these surgeries and that I upset everyone in my family. I wish I could be a better person; and not say or do things to upset them. Am I that horrible of a person or is some of it them? I try hard to do unto others, live the way God wants me to. But I seem to hurt someone every day. I know that no one is perfect except God. But it seems to me I am far from every doing anything right.
Is this the way I am to feel? I don't think so. I know I make mistakes and need to ask forgiveness. I don't do that enough and I need to make that a priority. But, when people are angry at me every day I have to think that some is them.
Once I can drive again and walk normally I will be able to please people again. Except, I can't go back to work for six weeks. If only I had a desk job and that doesn't look like it is going to happen this year for sure. God must have a better plan for me that I can't figure out.
Have a great rest of summer before school starts again.

Anxiety Disorders
This problem has been on my mind for a long time. Anxiety disorders. What exactly are they, how many different forms, and are you cured from them or just manage?
My oldest child works with austic children. Their behavior can be a lot like those with anxiety disorders. Do we label these people as having mental illness? That sounds horrible. There are many different illnesses of the mind.
I truly believe that people are born to be good, except for those with a mental problem. If a person later in life does what we deem as bad behavior it is because of experiences they had.
I have people in my life that have anxiety disorders. I wish I could take it away for them. I truly believe that you are not cured of it but learn to manage your thoughts. Also, depending on how difficult the symptoms, a treating professional and maybe medication are needed.
Only the person suffering can made the decision to seek help. We as family and friends can speak to them until we no longer have a voice; but they have to know there is a problem before getting help. Until they seek help, you as their family or friend need to put up boundaries with them so that you aren't worn down by them to the point you might do something that is bad. That is difficult if it is your child, parent or especially your spouse.
At one time I thought about going to school to be a psychologist. I changed my mind because I realized I couldn't do that and be around the people in my life that have problems also. I applaud those that do it for a career.
I hope this has sheed some light on what it is like for the friends or family of people with anxiety. I also hope that you can be understanding and helpful with them.

Post Bunion Surgery
After my daughter's wedding I had to have bunion surgery. Four years ago I had reconstructive surgery on the other foot. That summer I found out I have navicular accessory bone. That is a extra bone on the inside of your foot. When you have these you are prone to developing bunions. YEAH!!!!! Not.
I am out of work for six weeks and can't drive for two weeks. I really start to wonder why I do these surgeries. Is it for attention? My other foot needed it because at some point the main tendon would have completely torn and then I would not have been able to walk. My neck fusion needed to or my neck would have started to crumble. I know my family is tired of this.
My husband has a hard time with these things. Supposedly I am mean, demanding and lazy. I believe for him it is because he is self-centered which is a genetic trait.
I have been sharing my son's blogs on social media. That gives me something to do. During this time I am trying to figure out how I can get a job that is not in retail. My right shoulder has a torn rotator cuff. At my age though it is hard because employers are hesistant due to retirement is not far away.
