I don't know that this is something that I should share, but I figure that you are all friends and family and you already know that we are going through some rough times right now.
We are trying to liquidate a business that we have built up for the past 15 years. We have had numerous financial set backs this year and it just blew us out of the water.
We had to replace the tires and rims on Whitney's car due to something she hit in the road (Nice).
We had to replace the tires on the Suburban because Chevy did a horrible job of aligning the car coming out of the factory and the guys who rotate my tires didn't say anything until they were completely shot.
The Honda is getting new tires tomorrow--another nice surprise.
Our oven went out and I am cooking mostly in the downstairs oven.
We had to repair holes in the wall from one certain child--$150.
With this and several other stresses right now, my body said ENOUGH!!!
On Tuesday/Wednesday of last week I had a bad pain in my back that would not go away. On Friday, it had spread to my left shoulder/arm and by Friday afternoon, my whole arm had gone numb and the left side of my face was going numb as well. Tracy took me into the ER because my Dr. was worried that it might be a stroke or Bells Palsy. They did an EKG and a CT scan with contrast--4 hours later (good thing I wasn't dying) they determined that I am under stress (REALLY??). The ER Dr. asked if I wanted anything for the stress and I said no.
After getting home though, I just felt worse. The pain has now spread to my chest and I feel like I am going to be crushed. My head feels like it might pop. So, I decided that at least for a while I need to have some help. I went to my Dr. today and he gave me some meds to chill me out.
I am sure that I will be fine--things have actually been selling and they should be calming down.
Tracy is a hard worker and we have been very blessed. Thanks again for all of your love and support and prayers--I know I couldn't do it without you.

Holy Cow Bonnie, I am so sorry! I wish we could do something to help, let us know if there is. We are of course praying for you and your great family.
Please take it easy! I had no idea that your body was taking the brunt of all of this. I can't imagine the stress involved in all of this selling, I hope it all continues to sell. I wish I were closer to help out with things. Call me if you just want to chat (I'm sure we can find some good facebook gossip to talk about!) :-) Hang in there, it will get better. We love you guys and are praying for you.
I'm so sorry Bonnie! I know to some extent what you are going through. If I can do anything to help with your stress, please let me know!
