Life's Lemons

Life has been CRAZY the last few weeks. I have not been at work since Sept. 9th. My mom's health went down hill all of a sudden and she has been in the hospital twice since then. She is recovering now but she is still rather shaky and has awhile before she will able to build strength and be able to be on her own again if ever. She did have a stroke which I expected and fortunately it did not cause any mobility or speech problems. She also had some kidney issues due to too much medication and not enough sustenance and liquids. She is skin and bones.  It has been scary, stressful, agonizing and heartbreaking. By the same token, it could have been way worse. Somehow, I have been able to muster strength to handle everything though. She is going to have someone prepare meals, do med reminders and exercise and occupational therapy with her daily in home.

While visiting her in the hospital I took a spill on some ice water on the restroom floor and sprained my shoulder, wrist and ankle. I have soft casts on my ankle and wrist and will need them for a few more weeks. The ankle is causing the most pain but I haven't been taking anything for the pain because it makes my brain muddy. My eating has been hit or miss and I am up on the scale but it has not been completely out of control. I can see where I could go into a tailspin quickly but I keep getting on the scale to catch myself from getting too far out of control.

I miss reading all your blogs! I wiped out 1,000s of posts in Google Reader because it was just too much pressure so I am hoping to be able to catch up with you all soon. Hope you have a good weekend. Until next time...
