Horrible week and weekend and not getting much better [1]

I don’t know where to start. My son had to be rushed to the hospital last week with kidney stones...Stayed a week including cardio problems….could not remove but inserted a stint or tube or something and another developed and been to the hospital three times since the first time. My middle kid called and said they had covid….I told them to stay away. She and her boyfriend…..

Had to take my youngest to opthamologist because of pressure behind the eyes and thank goodness that turned out not to be glaucoma but allergies and this time pressure was normal

.I got a call from my x brother in law and said my x husband had died. He and my husband and I had become friendly over the years. We were still friends and he lived in Missouri and I cried yesterday with all this overwhelming stuff and then my son had to be taken back to the hospital with yet another stone not passing last night and now this hurricane coming through to make landfall in this county and now the sheriff’s office is calling every ten minutes with updated alerts for storm surge and Hurricane warnings. The gas in the area is contaminated with diesel and the National Guard has been called out to help evacuate those on the coast but I am 20 miles from the coast. On top of that this last warning I just now got said expect in our area which is inland to expect 100 plus winds and lots of flooding from rainfall. My husband has had to take his nitro pills.

We are stocked up but roads are about to be closed and this Hurricane is supposed to hit Hernando and Citrus county head on. I live in Citrus. Schools already closed Was told to prepare for power outage at the least and it 96 degrees.

I have been and continue to be stressed and ain’t nothing I can do about any of this. I am inland and fairly high ground...About 7 feet….Storm surge expected to be 11 feet. I hate my x died but glad he is not suffering after a failed gall bladder incident…..Worried about my son in and out of the hospital and now this hurricane. Thank God for my husband and other son taking care of as much as they possibly can. Cat 3 Hurricane warning now up for our area. Hold us in your thoughts and all in Florida… The water temperature in the Gulf is about 100 degress.

Thanks for listening. People are flooding inland into this area so I guess we are as safe as can be.
