Yesterday we had a wicked storm...this tree came crashing through our fence, but was far from our house...the storm came really fast and the wind was blowing like a maniac, very scary, and Kaylyn was at the sitter's house, I just wanted her home!

My brother Jeff came in last night to help out...he is a big time helper...other than that I am just trying to keep my spirits up...so hard to do when you are totally dependent on the people around you. I think being on bed rest is one of the hardest things...I mean if you have a broken back or something, people know, ok that person can't do anything...I have to feed him, help him, etc...but with bed rest I look normal, I am capable of doing things, but I am not supposed to...so people almost forget that I am supposed to lay down all day...so I have to ask for things all the time...and it is quite tiring...and almost degrading at times. I am a pretty independent person, s0 having t0 ask f0r s0me0ne t0 make me dinner just makes me feel helpless.
