What Appears To Be A Tragedy Is In Actuality a Blessing

Yes, Lisa broke her leg in the snow. She had to have a steel bar placed in her leg to repair the damage. Lisa falls al the time. She fell in Florida. One of her friends said that Lisa seems to have had nothing but bad luck since she moved here. Well, let's look at the facts.
(1) She now has all the records she needs to complete her disability claim.
(2) In Alaska, that claim will now be settled within 3-4 months, compared to 3-4 years in Florida.
(3) She is getting the correct health coverage here.
(4) Her needs are being taken care of. She has a place to live, food to eat, internet and tv. She doesn't have to work 80 hours a week to receive these needs. My disability takes care of it all, and I am glad to share it
(5)Complete strangers brought over a couch for Lisa to sit on because we did not have one. We have only been in Seward for one week. We knew no one. But someone heard of our need and came though.
I know it's rough-she can't go out to the bars. But then again, here comes that blessing in disguise. She has the marker for liver cancer, so it is no great tragedy to give her liver a rest.
Everyone can just stop feeling sorry for Lisa. She wants to live. That's why she came here.
If you want to do something for Lisa, send her some milk thistle. It helps cleanse the liver. Tell Randy to hold the raffle so she can get the rest of the money for her boat.
If you want to send some milk thistle for Lisa, her address is Lisa Rowell, General Delivery, Seward Ak 99664
She is my cousin, I love her. Please stop thinking negative thoughts.

Lisa Has Broken Her Leg in Two Places!

Yes, it is true. Lisa has fallen in the snow and broken her leg in two places. She was taken to the local hospital here in Seward, but since the break cannot be fixed by a cast alone, she was supposed to go to Anchorage by ambulance. We have had a snowstorm here, and the ambulance could not make it through Moose Pass (you remember Moose Pass, we were going to move there!). So they have had to airlift Lisa out of Seward. They wouldn't let me go in either the ambulance or the helicopter, and our vehicle will not make it through the pass. So she is up in an Anchorage hospital by herself. They will bring her back to Seward when the surgery is over.
There is an upside to this situation however. This will expedite her disability case, and she is now getting all the tests she needs in order for that to happen.
She really misses all of you now!

We have a new home!

We have finally moved to the place we are going to settle for a while. We were going to move to Moose Pass, but a mudslide on the road on the day we went to look at the house we were going to rent had us changing our minds about Moose Pass! So we have moved to Seward, Alaska. We have telephone service, cable and internet service! There are only about 2000 residents here in the winter time, which suits us just fine. The closest Walmart is 120 miles away.
SO, everyone can just stop worrying. We are not homeless. We are not living in a shelter. We are warm and dry, and have plenty of food to eat. There are doctors and a hospital here.
If a bear knocks on the door, we will look to see who is knocking before we answer the door.
The only problem is that Lisa keeps wanting to call the town we live in Steward, instead of Seward. If that is the only problem we face, I am sure we will be doing just fine!
We miss and love you all.
