Internet is up at the house

Thursday, November 29, 2007

Hi all-
This will be brief, but I wanted to let you know that we are up and running and my new email addresses are:
audiopilot@surewest.net (notice no dot between words...)
v12pilot@surewest.net
Home email is wcodum@surewest.net
CC's email is bachie77@surewest.net

We thought that there would be the dots in between words, as was the case with comcast, but that is not the case with surewest.

More later-

My blog has been hacked in the comment area with garbage comments with links to porno crap. Until I can figure out how to remove them, I'll repost the afflicted posts.

How truly annoying.

I’m back at home on my bed.It hurts to walk and stand and I’m more than tired.No sleep while we stayed at Roseville Kaiser lying on a gurney in a hallway for several hours, waiting for a room that never came then several more hours in a back room someplace in the ER. The Roseville hospital admitting room never came and I was sent via ambulance to Morse Ave Hospital where 3 beds were squeezed into a room that should have held one bed. No sleep for another 36 hours or so.May God show pity on me and my family and not allow any more of this calamity befall ANY of the rest of my family and my friends and may He bring rest and restoration to me and my wife and my children.

I’m so tired and beaten.
No more writing for now.

Will it be better tomorrow?

Beginning of November

Thursday, November 01, 2007

So we are beginning the 11th month of 2007, a year filled with life changes and monumental decisions. As we near 2008, it is my hope and prayer that 2008 will not be as tumultuous and painful as this year has been.

Biggest change to note now on here is that we have found a home to rent in Orangevale (nearer Greenback and Fair Oaks Blvd) and it has 4 bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms. It has a big enough yard for Annie, though it is far smaller than our existing home’s yard. CC suggested that the 4th bedroom be an office and music room for me and it is right next to our master bedroom.
We have begun moving and hope to be living there as of this coming weekend. I’ll post some pics once we get in there and are comfortable. Oh yeah, there is also dedicated room/space for the boat to reside beside the house, behind a fence. The garage is an actual 2 car garage where I can have a workbench and tool area. Very exciting.

On the unfortunate side, I have been suffering attacks nearly every other day though they are more mild than severe, they still knock me down for several hours at a time and they completely change our family’s planning in a heartbeat.

Headway: My good friend and mentor Art Yeap called a short while back and suggested that I review and consider that a number of my attacks have begun while I was bending over and or working on my hands and knees, a source of physical stress and possibly neurological base. He’s completely correct in noting my physical posturing at the time of the onset of the attack and I’m hopeful it may be another workable piece of this complex and disruptive medical puzzle.

CC has a new work schedule now; she no longer has to work starting at 6:00 AM like before, but now starts her shift at 8:00 AM which allows her to see the kids before leaving for work and she now can get more sleep as well.

Last night, Halloween, we went to Capitol Christian Center’s Fall Festival which was HUGE and outdoors. The kids had a great time and each came home with way too much candy and I was able to walk with them for a period of time before having to retreat to the car to warm back up. I paid a price for the evening but it was worth it in my mind, to see the kids enjoy their evening and spend time together as a family. Pics hopefully coming before too long. We’ll see.

On to the rest of the day…
