As far as drama goes, all has been quiet for the past few days in Brian's saga. Perhaps she finds another place to vent her frustrations toward. or at. Happily there were no unscheduled visits this week! But with this looney lady, things could turn at any time!
Mom had her x-ray on Friday to see how her broken wrist was doing -- it seems to be healing nicely, and no surgery is needed, which is really good news! When I spoke with her, I told her she should be taking even more Vitamin D as it aids in inflammation and healing ... not sure she'll take my advice, but we'll see.
Dad had his port put in his shoulder for chemo treatments. They'll let that heal before they start the actual process. He seemed in good spirits and was feeling well on Friday, said the procedure was short and quick, so that was good news as well.
I leave for visit up there on Wednesday - just a short visit, but seems necessary with all that's going on. I'll touch base with my siblings, and see about getting them to talk about things, and my sis and I can make sure that finances and such are in order. Having that burden taken care of will allow everyone to concentrate on other things.
A quiet Sunday morning here, time for reflection, relaxation, and of course the usual get ready for the week chores. People sometimes ask how I'm handling it all. Most times, I handle things with a pretty even keel, staying steady and strong. I can relate it better this way: for many years, I raised four other kids along with my own, and was a stay at home mom. When one of the kids got sick, invariably the others came down with it as well. I was always the last one to catch anything after everyone else had a turn. I think its because I stay strong to handle things, until there's nothing else needed, that's when I get hit with being sick. I assume it will be the same way --- I'll keep handling what needs to be handled until there's nothing left that has to be done. And never lose hope!
