Dear Journal~
If there ever was a rotten day where one can get bad news, it is none other than Friday the 13th--and I am afraid that I have some very bad news.
I just found out this week that I need to have hip surgery (joint replacement surgery) next month. I have been scheduled to have surgery on the 15th of June (just a little from a month from now) because my hip joints are shot. I don't need a doctor's expertise to tell ME that my hips are no good: I have been having more problems with my walking, and I have resorted to using my wheelchair more; plus my hips have really been killing me. I was hoping to have a summer free from pain or hospital stays, but now it looks like I will have to spend a good chunk of it recovering from surgery. BOO, HISS! I also have found out that my brother, Johnny, is also scheduled to go into the hospital, but he is having tests, to see how his muscular dystrophy is doing. He is scheduled to have tests like the EMG (it tests the muscles, and I hear it is a booger bear of a test, and very painful, to boot!), a myelogram (hear that is a nasty test as well!), a "brain wave" test (EEG, electroencephalogram), and an MRI scan. He is not too happy about it either, and I actually can't blame him! But at least HE isn't facing SURGERY like I am! GRRRR!! I just hope he does okay; if not I will cry so hard!!
I also have been down in the dumps because maman and daddy are in Greece; they left Wednesday, and they will be back next Tuesday. They went to Greece for a wedding; our friends from Finland and Greece, Sari Annike Gustaffessenn and her fiance', Nikolas Artemis Constantinos, are getting married, and they invited maman and daddy to the wedding. So this was why they went to Greece. I am sure they are having a wonderful time, but I sure do miss them! The house isn't the same without maman or daddy being there!
I also have been depressed coz I wrote to Rebekkah (as did Johnny), but Johnny got a reply, and I didn't. I wonder if Rebekkah Cohen is mad at me. I don't know what I could have said in my letter, but she hasn't written me back, and it's gotten me sad. I think Rebekkah doesn't like me.
Well, I am depressed, so I am going to stop writing in here. I am near tears, and it is hard for me to see what I am trying to write. I will write more when I am feeling better; until then, this is Ronee' signing off!
~Luv, your (bummed-out) friend, Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux. :( >tears<
