Rough Waters Ahead

It's going to be some unsteady waters in the months ahead for the Hejnas.

As you all know, I am on the road to recovery from my back surgery. I hurt a lot, but each day seems to get a little easier. I just can't wait to get to leave my house for even a lunch out!

Some of you know Work Comp has decided the payment for my surgery will have to be fought for in court. They are trying to say my injury was not a result of my traffic crash a year and a half ago. We all know differently and we will fight for what is right. SO, I am off work for at LEAST three months without pay. Not entirely sure how the mortgage will get paid, but we have a few ideas.

Then, I learned this week, The City of Alton is officially broke. In the paper they reported that at least 4-5 officers will be laid off by April. I am #6 from the bottom and talk is that they are not sure how safe my job is.

What's that saying-When it rains it pours? Well, I guess we should put out our buckets these days. We're giving it up to God and leaving the worrying to him. It will all work out in the end, we're sure.

We are very lucky to have such good family and friends. Thanks to all who have stopped in to visit since the surgery or sent cards, food, or something else. We love you all!

Please know how much we love you, will continue to pray for you, and will put on our thinking caps to help reduce your stress level. Turning that stress over to God is the best starting point. Rational thinking is a gift given to us from God. If anything comes to mind, I will be certain to share with you. With all the love and support I have to give, Aunt Susie
