OT: out of pocket...

SueT · 05-20-2007, 05:56 PM

I wanted to let everyone know why I've been absent. A week ago last thursday my mother fell during a horrible storm we had and broke her hip. We'd been without power for over 3 hours at that time. She went to step down into our den and just fell. Replacement surgery was done last saturday and shes done extremely good from that but had a major irritation from the endotrachael tube. To the point of choking her.

Anyway, I hope to be back on with everyone asap. Say a prayer...

Thank you to each and everyone, ya'll made me cry this morning but they are tears of feeling like someone is out there. I have thought that maybe this was something telling me to get out of the hobby. I haven't had the joy from my tank since this happened.

Thanks to everyone of you again, it's this hobby that shows what kind of people are in it...those that care for each other.

Sue! having a reef tank is reaching beyond normalcy, we do things that require more than a person should have to, it can be a strain, dont worry, when things calm down with your Mom your joy factor will return. Take care. Steve

SueT · 05-22-2007, 09:46 AM

Thanks Steve..I do know that almost ignoring the tank besides my feeding the fish and making sure water levels are fine has made the corals grow a lot more. Maybe this was another way for me to see how good the tank is doing if I keep my hands outta there..

Thanks again for the kind words.

Karma for your troubles and prayers for your mother that she have a very fast recovery!
