To not be on much today, this work thing is driving me nuts. Hopefully it will smooth out in a couple of days.

Grrr, alot of stress at work today, they changed everything!!! Guess I’m not too flexible! Who knows if I will get t his straight, lots of deep breaths today, good thing I did my workout already!!! So how are we all doing ?Good I hope!

Not going to be on long, they are changing depts around here, and I will be busy this morning trying to get settled. Will be back at lunch and breaks though! You all have a great day!

Well, I am here! Still kinda tired, but I missed you all!! I’m sp happy that I lost a pound, not even upset that it was only one pound, in the past with all this stress I would have gained 5 by now! Not going to the hospital today, gonna call soon and check on dad. Mom is going up there later. I have got to get some groceries, and to be honest, I am still worn out. Want to try and rest up for work tomorrow. Mom is doing better, ate dinner with her last nite.

Well, to all the weight loss teams, I wish you all good luck!!!

Buddies, thanks again for all the support you have shown me, have a wonderful day!

I really love you all. The comments I got on my blogs are truly overwhelming, and made me cry. You all make me feel sp special, thanks so very, very much.

Well, update on dad: the Drs say they think he had a mild heart attack on Thursday nite, according to the blood tests. Also bad kidney infection due to prostate problems, again from the blood tests. He also had pneumonia, and is too weak to walk. I spent most of yesterday and today at the hospital and alose went and took mom to check out some skilled nursing facilities because when he is well enough, they want to send him there to be rehabilitated enough to come home. He is still very sick, but at least he is coherent, and shows signs of getting better. He looks alot better each time I see him, and mom is still very sore, but she is getting rested up, too. It is hard, mom is 83, and dad is 86. But we are hanging in there. We really appreciate the prayers and support. I told mom about all of you, and it made her cry, she says you all sound wonderful, I said yes, you all are! Well, I’m tired, will work on catching up on blogs tomorrow. Oh by the way, I weighed this morning and was down another pound! I was happy to see it, because this week has been rough, and I have overindulged a little in snacks, albeit healthy ones! I did do my workouts each day, they really do help relieve stress! Well, off to bed, will be back tomorrow!

Well first, let me say thanks for all the prayers, I am deeply touched and grateful for all you very, very wonderful andcaring people! Words cant express how much I truly love you all.

Well, dad is very sick. We had to call the paramedics to take him to the hospital. Mom is so tried and weak, that I wheeled her around in a wheelchair while we were there. They admitted him, he has a very bad urinary infection, hadn’t been able to for almost 3 days! Was horrible, they catheterized him and it was awful. He also has lung congestion I think, and they had to give him oxygen. He did look better when we left, but he stil had a fever. They are gonna keep him a few days to see what is going on. Poor mom is wiped out, very sore from lifting him, and done in. I made sure she got settled, and then tomorrow am gonna drive her back to the hospital. So I don’t know if I will be on here tomorrow or not. Saturday for sure. Please continue to pray.

I was so scared when I got there and saw him lying in bed like that, He looked almost done, and it was all I could do not to cry, need to be strong for mom.

See, dad has always been my rock, my stabilizer and a man I deeply love and admire. I’m tearing up as I write this, so please bear with me.

Funny the things you remember, like the funny things he would do when my daughter was a baby, the way all my friends in hich school really loved him and my mom, said I was so lucky to have parents like that. Not that they were real lenient, but they were always there for me and my frineds and always had open hearts and really listned, that makes a big difference as a kid, ya know?

I am so grateful to have them back in my life and that I got straightened out before it was too late. I just wish I hadn’t spent so much time being rebellious and stupid. I can’t get back those years, as much as I wish I could. I was reminiscing with mom about all kinds of good stuff I remembered from when I was young.

Poor mom, her memory is really going, I had to help her answer all the health questions the nurse asked, too, and there was lots of stuff mom couldn’t remember, Was a real wake up call for me. Have got to be more proactive about them getting help, and I told mom she has got to let someone come in, I think maybe she will listen, now.

I don’t want them to put dad in a home, and she doesn’t either, it would just kill him. So, we have GOT to get some help to come in, I know it is available, mom just has to be willing.

I have to be strong, I know everyone goes thru this, and I do know they won’t be here forever. I just want to do the right things for them and return their love for me by caring for them in the best way possible. I’m so glad you all are here, I couldn’t go to bed without writing some of this out.

My dad has always been my hero, my eagle, one I could always talk to, it hurts to see such a proud, stong man reduced to this. Did you ever see the movie “Meet Joe Black’? Well if you did, Anthony Hopkins in tha movie reminds me so much of dad. And the relationship he had with his younger daughter, well that is how me and my dad have always been. I love him so muchm and it hurts that I can’t talk to him like I used to, he can’t hardly hear anymore. I miss the man I used to know, I know he is there somewhere, just so hard to find now.

Well, you would be proud of me, Mom and I got hungry, and I went to the cafeteria and I passed up homemade hot apple dumplings, they were really calling my name! Got mom and I some peanut butter mini ritz cracekrs instead, for the protein, only 170 calories! Better thant sweets, especially since we are both diabetic, and treated us both to some flavored waters, She had never had the flavored water before and loved it! So hopefully I am helping, she is so weak, I had to wheel her around in a wheelchair at the hospital, she canb’t walk to far, but we managed. I will drive her to the hospital tomorrow, too. Well, I’m exhausted, gonna try and get some sleep. I will keep you all posted, and thanks again for all your love and support. I couldn’t do this without each and every one of you.

He is very sick, mom says lots of throwing up. Mom is real weak, too. We are getting a neighbor to carry dad out for us. Mom doesn’t want an ambulance, neither does dad. So they are waiting for me to get there.

I may or may not be on here tomorrow, if mom needs me I have already arranged to be off tomorrow. But I will let you all know, ok?

Thanks for all the prayers, you all!

Will be helping my mom take him to the hospital tonite. Thanks for all the prayers.

Mom just called, they may be putting dad in the hospital, bad urinary problems, very weak. I may be going over there tonite to help. She said she would let me know. I will keep you all posted, thanks Buddies, love you guys.

 This goes out to all my buddies in and out of the teams!!! Love yiu all!
