Became a diabetic.
Split my achilles, snapped tendons in right foot. Two months in a boot and six months of PT.
Mom died right before Christmas.
I'd love to bitch about my "problems," but many of you have had it worse.
Here's to making 2018 better!

2018 is going to be YUGE.
Plan on it.
Plan on it.
That would be 2010 for me
Almost passed on in late October, filter I have to catch blot clots clogged up. Also, right before X-Mas my Crown Vic gave up the ghost at 256K. So I traded that and my beloved '03 Cobra in for a '17 Focus ST.
February - position eliminated at work. Somehow found an internal opportunity
March - pool pump died
April - plumbimg in entire house backs up due to root damage in one of the pipes. Shelled out a nice chunk of change for sewer repairs
May - roof repairs. Yay, more money for not-fun stuff. Unrelated, my sister goes crazy and destoys her relationship with our parents. Still not talking to each other as of today.
June - got sick and went out of work on disability. Spent the next 12 weeks on antibiotics fighting an infection we later learned was encapsulated
August - surgery (removed a piece of my intestine and my appendix). Four nights in the hospital. Found out that I had a dead bowel and my intestine had adhered itself to my bladder, abdomen, and appendix.
September - IRMA. And a gall bladder removal for my wife
October - realize my shoulder is AFU from the antibiotics and begin physical therapy 3x/week. Return to work to learn my position is at risk of being eliminated again
November - our dog loses sight in his other eye and is now completely blind
December - receive the second worst year end performance review I’ve ever had, in spite of the fact I wasn’t at work for 4 months. Water heater craps the bed at year end

2017 was pretty calm for me. Not much bad stuff happened.
Good God man!
I also have 2 boys.. although younger currently at 9 and 7 years old. I can imagine how this all must have felt. I cannot relate, obviously, but for some reason i feel like i can.
Thank God it all worked out, wow.
Having all charges dropped and having your son back at home is one of the biggest things we'd be saying we are "Thankful" for at the table sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner.
Wow!
Absolutely. For nearly two months our only conversations were on phone after 8 for about 15 minutes a day or once every other Weds for 30 minutes through clear partitions. It was very rough and hard to keep sanity with everything that was happening. Then all the gossip from neighbors..
I have two boys, early to mid twenties. One of them was nuts for about 6 years, I mean borderline insane, and then all of sudden he grew out of that shit. Broke ties with all the effing idiots he called friends, changed phone numbers a couple of times, and moved on with his life. I thought I would never see the day, and then out of the blue it arrived.
With faith and fortitude I can say with confidence that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Hang in there, Dad. It's a damn hard job, but there will be a pay day.

Step daughter diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given a year. Wife totaled our 13 Edge. Other then that everything hunky dory.
Thanks, I believe he is seeing the errors of his ways.
Man sorry to hear that. 2017 was a real shitty year for a lot of us.
I think for my boy, it was an age thing. No matter how many mistakes he made, he wouldn't learn from them until all those freakin' synapses finally connected in his prefrontal cortex, which is where we make decisions involving judgment. It's the last thing to mature in the male brain and the reason rental car companies don't like to rent to males under 25. Mine hit 25 and his brain finally started to work.
You are above ground and got your junk, it is off to a good start.
I hate New Orleans and Bourbon Street makes the who place smell like the back of a dump truck.

Man, one is tough but both buds is beyond sad. I hope you decide to take in a new friend or two. The human and canine relationship is so natural to us that it must have evolutionary history.Lost both of my dogs.

Same here. I got a good raise last year and nothing went too bad where it bothered me.
Just waiting for the new raise to kick in for "hopefully" a great start to a great 2018.
Not yet Dale, gonna take a dog break for awhile. Really miss them though. We had them 13 years.
Kids pick up on parents unhappiness. I hope you guys figure it out. We had one kid that was starting bullying my girl and she almost did not want to go to school. At first we thought it was some sort of separation anxiety. Once we got to the bottom of it the school worked by keeping the kids watched and not sitting at the same table. It worked and we did not have to cause any issues or take aggressive intervention.
Single mom raising a young man, he now hugs me when I come in the class. I am torn of trying to get him and my boy to play together but the mom is kind of ugly and I know she would want to tap a great catch like me.
If you can get a doc to note she has some behavior issues, the school will develop and IEP Individual Education Plan, required by law. Best of luck, kids are so worth the good fight.

OP wins the prize. I think my horror was spilling a glass of milk in May.
