LOL at Smurfs! I hate to kick the man when he is down, but this is exactly what I thought of when I read what you wrote. You’ll be ok Jpurdue, you’re still young enough to get past this.

It was good until last week when I found out my DIL's cancer returned in an aggressive form. She was doing good after a stem cell transplant but now they are headed to Houston. To make it worse I got home from hunting this week and my dog's hips have taken a turn for the worse.

Your dog having bad hips is worse than your DIL having cancer?

your reading comprehension is severly lacking.

It's sucked, my worst one yet and it's not getting any better. My wife and kids seem happy, and I am happy for that. My mom had me when she was 16 so my grandpa stepped in and really helped raise me. We are so close this has been diffucult. At 83 he's loosing his mind at a rapid pace. Sucks. I've had a loss of income also. I've had stomach issues and don't get much relief. Cherry on top I have had a lot of mental issues lately that haunt my thoughts, all of them. Yesterday I took my son to his dr. They directed me to the ER because they thought it was his appendix. Turns out it was a stomach virus. Im cash pay, so Im sure I will be getting another 6-7k bill in the mail pretty soon. I have a spot on my back about 3in around. Been there for 2 years, probably skin cancer, at least that's what it looks like to me. So yeah, 2023 won't be missed.
