Hello buddies…
How are you all?
Has been a very busy weekend for me. Mom is still in the hospital. Having alot of trouble breathing, anytime she has to get up, etc. she gets so out of breath, and is very weak. They are trying to figure out why. She says it feels like a tight band around her chest when she tries to take a breath.
So, I have been running back and forth between her and dad. Taking care of her pets, and her errands. Got more paper work filled out for her for the state aid, just need to call her health insurance on Monday to get her premium amount, and then wait for her bank statement to come in, boy, they sure want alot of info!
I’m so glad you all don’t seem to get bored with me writing about all of this, it really helps to write it out. I don’t feel I say anything amazing, but I really get so much from your feed back.
0k, all, listen up! I have a message for all fo you from my mom:
She says to say thank you very, very much for all your love and prayers, and she is grateful for all of you being there for me! She says “what a blessing” and she actually got tears! I promised her I would tell you.
Ok for some cool happy news! We had an orange and white striped male cat named Chaos. He got out about 18 months ago. We looked and looked and I posted him on lost pet sites. Well, we had given up, and I got an email from this girl with a pic of a cat, and she was asking if he was ours. Yed and I went out yesterday to see him and it was!! So, we brought him home! To be gone so long and so far, without any scratches or scars is amazing! So the next thing we are gonna do is get him fixed so there will be no more wandering. I have some numbers of free places to call. But we are so gald to have him back, the only one who isn’t so happy, is our other cat Ringo, but she is a grump anyways to new things, she will get used to it, but the dog is excited, and Buddy the ferret could care less, lol.
Well, I am back at 137. Think it is stress. Doing all I can to hold it together, had a meltdown Friday and got into the cookies again, ugh.
But I did do my workouts Friday and Saturday, Break today, feel like I’m catching a cold or something, sore throat and achy. Gonna go lay down when I get down here.
But the funny thing is, that I was feeling like I was gonna binge again last nite, and you know what happened? I overate alright, but it was on salad! And I had diet dressing, too! I thought it was funny that my overeating was on healthy food, what a change!
So, that is what is up with me.
I do appreciate all the prayers. It is so hard to see mom and dad like this, I find myself wishing for a time maching so we could all go back to when I was in high school. I told dad I had a very good life with them and he said” well we tried” It really hurts to see him so helpless. I try to cheer him up (he love McDonald’s apple pies), but I know he misses mom so much. And she misses him, too. Seems so unfair and cruel that they have to be apart. HAVE to get mom well enough to get them moved, I have an appt set up with the placement guy for Friday, I wonder if I can meet with him anyways, even if mom can’t? Hmm, it’s a thought.
Well I need to go post, Good luck to all the weight loss teams!
Have a great Sunday, hugs!
Thanks so much for keeping is up to date with your Mom. You tell her thanks for bringing you into the world, k? A friend’s Dad recently had some similar heart stuff going on. All stayed undaignosed until they found he was having some bronchitis/ashtma kind of stuff happening. May just want to have them check that out for her. As to you, you go easy on yourself with all that you are doing. WHile reaching for something other than cookies is best for you in the long run, one day will not break you. Now, go get that prayer and rest on! Maybe a little jewelry making or something to help you de-stress…fun with ted?
Great news on the kitty, too!
so i wrote a novel and then read the last of your paragraphs about mom and dad. it is so sad that they have to be apart. i would go meet with the placement guy anyway. maybe they will both be in a facility where there is medical attn available, yes?
YAH Chaos is back, I love it. Now how could be be bored with your words? You are shear heart and you give so much to the site. Let it pour out Ms. Fiesty. Ya know I am a little weepy at the mother/daughter moment there…. it must be one of those days. Wishing health and happiness to you, Ted, your Mom and your Dad…. and all the cats. It is a happy complete family now
*Health prayers*
