Saturday, Jan 31 and still here

As always, I am here and ready to post some ongoing stuff. We are getting excited about next Thursday and the coming of my Grandson. This is all exciting for us. If Megan's water does not break before Wednesday, Feb.4, they will put her in the hospital and induce her into labor on the 5th. We will be at the hospital for this exciting time. YES, I will be called Grandpa AND really looking forward to having a new special person in my life.
I guess I was wrong again, as usual, thinking that no one stills reads this, but many replies tells me I am still a concern for many people. Respond or not, I will continue for a while longer. Betty and I went to Huntsville yesterday to do some stuff to the trailer to get it ready to move to Deer Park for Tiffaney to live in. I think I am doing OK until something like this comes along. Many things I used to do with no problem now hurt me. I TRY to forget these things, but reality sets me back in place! We brought the AC unit home and part of the rear porch, too. The BOZO that built this thing 5 years ago did a great job on nailing it together. He must have found a great deal on nails. Looking at the way it is attached to the trailer, he must have put 20 nails there. We took all the boards off of it and the stairs, too. The frame is still attached with the legs in place. I will have to cut or drill these nails from the wall to get it off. AND worse news is that, the front porch is much larger. The back one is 4ft x 4ft and the stairs were another 5ft long. The front one is 8ft x 8ft and stairs for it. The good part is, in Huntsville, there are more changes in elevation than there are around here. I still have to remove the skirting around it, too. That is never much fun but is one of those things that I get to do, too. The electrical and plumbing will be a big challenge, too. I used to be able to get on the ground and move around with no issues, but it is not like that any more. It hurts to get there now and I KNOW I won't be able to move as easy as I used to.
I had my first deposition scheduled for Wednesday of this week. We drove all the way to downtown and found out the other side's lawyer had cancelled it. This was wonderful of him. I can only figure this is his way of taking more control of the issues at hand, but what he doesn't understand is my pain is not going away with more time. My lawyer will be out of town until the middle of February so they will re-schedule this sometime after that. I know they will ask a lot of questions about things I don't remember because of the damage caused to my mind. It is that way on a lot of things. Things I used to do without much thought, now I have to focus on thinking them through. Only time will tell when this will be scheduled again.
My concerns right now are on my Grandson and I will deal with these pain issues as best I can. There were a lot of dear friends and family that still read this and many took the time to respond. It is nice to see that I still have people that care and worry about my progress. Some are friends and some are family, but what is most important, is that God still loves me and is doing His best to keep me here. This always means so much to me! He is the Greatest and my Love for Him has always been a good thing to hold on to. I was always a person that cared about many things, but He has opened my eyes to so much more. People ask my a lot of times why I am always in a great mood after what I went through and all I can do is mention the "train story" to them. I REALLY think I was on the track at one point, and all the prayers and love that my friends and family gave towards me, helped God to pull me away from this train. The horn was loud, so I know I was close when it passed.
Yes, my mind is not where it used to be and I have pains in my body every day, but I am still here to appreciate the love you send and I reciprocate by sending it back. Thanks for reading and caring! I love you all so much.
