Luckily the DR did an in office procedure so I didn't have to go to the hospital. Aug 7th we got a call that DH's brother had died. His wife woke up to find him dead in the bed next to her. The autopsy said he had 2 completely blocked arteries near his heart so that caused a massive heart attack or a stroke. We went to his funeral the following weekend, we got home and 2 hours later got a call that DH's sister had passed away!! We knew she wasn't well so that was expected. His brother was a total shock. Then the next day I got a call that my brother in Reno was in ICU and not doing well. We went to southern Ca to SIL's funeral then up 395 to Reno on the way home to visit my brother. He's doing better and got to go home yesterday. SO this has been a bad month for us. I hope to sign up for Sept so will check to see when the deadline to do so is. Hopefully next month will be a better one!! crafty_linda_b
