Oy, lots to update. On the good side, I'm down another 2 pounds in weight to 221, for a total of 9 pounds lost so far! In a month.....that's about how fast I lost my first ten pounds last year as well and I haven't even been able to walk as much this year yet. Yay!
Tyler and I both got really sick this weekend. I'm a total snot factory right now. We had to go to Worcester on Saturday to hang out with his dad, which we should have rainchecked, but we didn't and now we're paying the price. Blech.
What makes it more complicated is that my mom had a bad accident this weekend, ironically, at a hospital. She was bringing my stepdad back to the hospital for a foot surgery post-op checkup, and they were leaving and going into the hospital garage. My stepdad is on crutches and moving really slow, and the electric power-door that lead out into the hospital garage malfunctioned and began to close on my stepdad while he was in the middle of it. So my mom ran and tried to stop it from closing on him and it crunched her hand instead, even as she tried to push it back the other way, and she ended up needing surgery on her hand!
And, the hospital where it happened made her wait 3 hours bleeding in their emergency room, so long that they actually got up and left and went to a different hospital and was treated immediately. But, long story short, she and my stepdad are both out of commission and I am going down there either Wednesday PM or Thurs AM through Saturday to help them do their basic stuff while they both can't. So I really need to be healthy by Wednesday so I don't get them sick while they heal and so I have the energy to do what they need me to do. So last night I stayed home and didn't go to rehearsal, which I feel guilty about, but I think my mom has to come first. I haven't seen my mom since Christmas, so it will be nice to see her.
