Aerosmith, Living on the Edge…Sometimes it really seems like that. :)
I think I should start off this post but reminding and reassuring anyone reading this, that I am one of those people who writes things out and often lets them go... what I may be feeling when I write things, will most likely change as I write it, or at the very least, be excised so that things are not so worrisome... If I'm sad, but the end of a post, I'm probably 80% better by the end... If I'm happy, writing about it, actually tends to help prolong... I am a very contemplative person... you combine that with a yen to write about anything and everything upon occasion, and you get this blog :)
So the last couple of weeks have been very busy with 'life stuff' as I often call things that happen to and around George and I that are completely out of our control. George's Grandma is not doing well. In February we had to move her to hospice, she actually was getting strong and better and finally moving around with her walker for about 3 weeks and thus decided she should move into another apartment. George and I really weren't fond of the idea, as if she ever was going to do that, perhaps several *months* of walking around with her walker at the hospice would have helped strengthen her muscles (2 weeks of going from her bed to a chair does not muscles make.)
So after a week, she got a cold, and then instead of using her walker, she turned and fell... back to the hospital, and then back to hospice for almost 3 weeks... a week after moving into her apt again, she gets some flu like bug that had her so sick that we had to move her back to hospice-- only nothing available so she went to a foster facility--- things did not go smooth there.. Finally, yesterday, she made it back to the hospice and there she will stay... we're going to insist..., I would rather she be somewhere safe, where she can have quality of life for how ever long she has left, and not be sick all of the time... we all would.
I'm not sure if she's going to recover from this one... 10% of her heart working only part of the time.. .it's just hard to tell... the yoyo, it does get to you... sheesh...
As for the Fictive-Kin thing... I'm feeling better all around about things... I just needed to get some of it out into the ether, so to speak. I've since then, discovered the wonders of Skype.. *yay* and had several visits with The Monkey, am hoping for a visit with my Southern Niecelet by Skype sometime soon, and will probably be driving south for my upcoming birthday so I can see family, friends, lisaes... and My sisters!
We had planned to go to TO or Vegas, but I think I'd rather spend time with family this year... might be the last Holiday for a bit that we'll be able to go south, so we need to enjoy the opportunity while we can.
