Down and Delegated

Hope you all had a nice weekend. Eating was hit and miss for me. I haven't gotten on the scale over the last few days but the pants I am wearing today for work are looser then the last time I wore them so that is a good thing. I was actually kind of worried they would be snug and it was the last pair hanging in the closet. I did not do any laundry this weekend so I have to do it tonight. Guess I got pretty spoiled having Dave do my laundry for the last 6 years.

For some reason, my hips and legs are aching. It is something I have never felt before. I thought it might be related to my recent sciatica so I have been treating it as such.  Hopefully it will just go away on its own with the proper treatment. I spent the majority of the day yesterday with my heating pad and my legs elevated.

My brother and I took my mom to the hospital on Friday afternoon and they determined she had a UTI which can cause confusion and anxiety. Who knew huh?  Not sure how long she has had that going on but she also had one back in October before she came home from the care facility. Then on Saturday, my brother decided she needed to be admitted to the satellite hospital where they handle behavioral health.  Apparently, he thought it was urgent so they transported her by ambulance poor thing. She is already doing better which is great news. However, she may have to stay there for a few months. The reality of that has not quite sunk in yet. The last time we went through this (1999) it was for a few weeks not months. They have very limited visiting hours but fairly flexible phone hours. I can only visit from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. I am still in shock, honestly. She is safe and is getting the help she needs which is what matters. Until next time...
