Made an appt for a complete checkup on 7/18. It has been awhile, so want to make sure everything is working the way it should. Thanks for urging me on this. Well, not much going on at work right now, so thought I would take a break.

Wanted to let you all know the appt is made!

How are you all? I’m ok, still tired. Thanks so much for all the support! And prayers!

Linda, thanks for calling me Mother Theresa, but I am no where near as good a person as she. You humble me lady!

Well, got mom’s insurance all straightened out, the pharmacy was entering it wrong. They called the pharmacy and I can pick up her prescriptions tonite. She needs some things from the store, so I can do that too.

I got my shopping done last nite, did real good with my choices I think. Got another roast for Ted to make.

Did my workout this morning too.

I sure hope you all have a great day!

But it is a good thing! You know I think smiling thru tears is kinda like the sunshine peaking out from rain clouds. At least I think of it that way.

Thanks so much for being here for me. You ALL are awesome, amazing and loving people. I seriously don’t know what I would do without any of you. It has been rough and very emotional, did sit down and have a bit of a cry yesterday. And Dawniegh and Linda, your blogs really got to me, but I needed it. Thanks.

Well, down 3 pounds this week! Thank God all the stress didn’t affect that! I do promise to call my dr on Monday, too. Have to also call mom’s insurance and see what the problem in covering her meds is. They say she has another insurance, and she doesn’t. Very frutsrating. So she gave me her insurance card so I can call them.

I was so tired last nite, I just passed out! Did do my workout before I went to mom’s helped alot.

Was too tired to even make dinner. I took mom some dinner, and helped her with some bills that she had forgotten. She is still weak but getting better. Poor dad didn’t even know she had come home! It was too late to call on Friday, and I thought mom would have called him yesterday, but she was too tired. But he called while I was there last nite, so we got it straightend out. Poor guy, he feels so helpless. Guess he really freaked out the nite she went in, I am so glad Ted was with him. I have gained a new appreciation for Ted, believe me.

Well today, I am gonna fix a nice dinner, and then go to the grocery store. I will go in the early evening when it will be a bit cooler, supposed to be 110 today.

I want to get more fresh fruit alot of it on sale now.

So how are we today? Good luck to all the weight loss teams!

Well time to go post, love you all and have a great Sunday!

Weight loss challenge team needs more members.  The Wild Cats are looking for new members!!  We are competing against the Diamonds, The Heartbreakers, The Fitness Fanatics, and The Rockstars.  We weigh in every Sunday with a 10 am cutoff time in your own time zone.   We then declare a winning team (whichever loses the most weight) and start all over again! We have an awesome group of people on our team who are always ready to offer encouragement and motivation.  We have a lot of fun but are also very serious about our goals and have a separate forum just for serious talk.  Our team also offers optional exercise challenges. You do not have to do them but we have a lot of fun with them.  If you complete one or more of the challenges, you can email me and I brag about you. But, it is not required.

You can find us by looking at the Buddy Slim menu bar and clicking Forum and then click Weight Loss Challenges and then click Wild Cat Serious Talk or Cheer section. We’re looking for people who are serious about weight loss. You need to be willing to workout at least 5 days per week (trying for 6) and eating healthy on a regular basis.  If you’re interested, email me your current weight and we’ll introduce you to the team.  Please contact me or Molly!

Thanks for all the responses. And yes, I think you are right, and  I will call my dr. I still don’t feel great, Could only sleep about 6 hours. I want to do a workout today, but haven’t been able to yet. I wanted to come on here first. I will go to mom’s this afternoon and check on her and see what she found out with her insurance.

The grocery shopping can wait till tomorrow, we got hers done last nite.

Not sure why I am so sore, I did workout yesterday, but not more than usual.

At least me eating has been good! Down another pound this morning.

Ok can I unload a bit? Ted thinks I am very high strung and rather high maintenance emotionally. I think he is right, this thinkg with mom has really taken me down. It really hit me yesterday that here my mom was in the hospital and dad is in a nursing home. In fact the hospital is right alongside the home! It was a bit of a shock, and I just wandered around in a fog, even got lost a little at the hospital. I think it is really sinking in the my parents are just not well, and since I’m the only child, I feel overwhelmed.

Sorry buddies, I know this has nothing to do with weight loss. I’m just having trouble focusing on anything else but mom and dad.

Thank God I have all of you, and that I got all this going before this happened. My eating has been good, I seem to naturally want healthy foods, and I’m toally addicted to my workouts, they help keep me sane.

I was in a panic last nite until I couldget on and blog. I missed you all so much. I will try and read blogs today, but if I don’t get to you all, please don’t be hurt. I just am trying to catch up.

Well, gonna go post, you all have a great day! Love you!

Well, first the good news. Mom got to come home today! But she is very weak. But I had to do all kinds of stuff for her, and take care  of the pets, and then when I thought I was done, she called right before dinner and they were discharging her! I have my doubts that she was ready for that, but she is glad to be home. Her blood sugar was stll 225 last they checked, but they got her on more meds, but her insurance is messed up somehow, so we could only get enough for the weekend.

My blood sugar dropped again while we were waiting, fortunately the nurse gave me some orange juice and I pulled out quick.

Has been a long and frustrating day and I missed you all so much. I prob won’t be on long, I am sooo tired. and it is already midnite here.

I plan to be on tomorrow  though, and will try to read some blogs then, I’m just so tired. Thanks for all the love and prayers, and mom says thanks too! Nite buddies. Hugs!

I am impressed. Just got off the phone with mom. Her blood sugar was 538, they got it down to 130 something. They are checking her heart, too. Not sure when she will be able to come home.

What I am impressed about is that Ted has taken over taking care of the pets and all, really taking matters in hand, what a guy!!! Don’t know what I would do with out him!

Mom sounds real weak and tired, but ok.

I am simply in awe on how Ted has stepped up to the plate. I think he is enjoying being needed like this. Showing me a lesson in trust, also. That I don’t have to “fix” everything and the he can do things too. It is hard, but already seeing some lessons in all of this.

1. the preciousness of my time with mom and dad(already felt that, but more now)

2. Help mom with her eating habits more.

3. trust God and Ted to help me handle my responsibilities, and not think “I can do it all by myself”

4. stress less, pray more.

Some good ones, and I’m still working on it.

Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes. You all touched my heart so much I was in tears this morning. Love you all.

I called the hospital this morning. They have admitted her and I have to call back in a while to find out more. Thanks for your prayers! Love you guys.

I’m ok, just tired. I did do some workouts this morning. Slept fitfully.

ok, I will be back and write more later.

I had to come on and update you all. Mom is still at the hospital. Thank God Ted was here. She came over and asked him to take her. Turns out her blood sugar is off the charts, over 500. They are doing tests and checking her pancreas. I’m so glad she had the presence of mind to get help. They told me not to freak out, but of course I did. I imagined all sorts of awful things on the bus ride home. I tried to pray and couldn’t quiet my mind. Thanks for all your prayers.

I am not ready to not have my parents around, I know that. There is still so much I want to share with them. I wasted so many years off doing my own stupid things. I need time to make up for that.

I love them both dearly, and I want them to know that and be proud of me.

I am tired, and Ted is gonna go pick mom up when she calls. God, I was so scared. But you all were so close to me I could feel it. Thank you. I felt I had all my angels around me. When I got the call the first thing I thought of was to let you all know and I knew you would pray, I’m tearing up at the thought. I really love you all.

Anyways I’m rambling, emotions running rampant right now. I hope I can sleep.

We will know more in the morning, but I told Ted I needed to come on and write to you all. I can’t do without that.

I hope you all have a good nite, I love you, Kama

Please pray!!!!! She is having bad chest pains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
