Went to Easter service with my mom. Last one before my surgery. I'm trying to rearrange my living room and get it set up for both the new TV and some furniture (couch and chair) before my hospital trip. If I'm gonna be laid up for six weeks, I might as well have a home base to be laid up and watch TV or play video games or whatever.

Figuring out finances has been an ordeal. I secured some money for utilities from my mother, which is helpful, but doesn't account for alot of things. Food, gas, maybe something to get me out of the house as I get stronger and healthier. I hate asking for charity, but I've got to, it seems.

If I can come back from the hospital with a financial game plan that keeps me from having to worry about expenses, I'll be thrilled!
