My Update On Everything

Tweet

that I can remember since there's so much going on at one dang time. Yesterday mom went to the doctor and she told me that the pain in her side had disappeared but the other pain (chest) is from the fall which she landed on top of her walker so that too should subside in due time. Both she and dad like the doctor very much so that's one thing knocked out of the way. They finally have a PCM!! YES!! One less thing to worry about!! Thank God!! Anyway, they both had some prescriptions to have filled and so we met them at the store as well to help out since mom couldn't go inside, she's too weak and dad doesn't know much about what is what and where things are so I did the shopping for him. Today dad had an early appointment with the VA doctor which is 2 and a half hours drive away so I had to be at their house by 7am to be with mom so she wouldn't be alone. I got about an hour more of sleep before having to get up because she was up. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed and strolling herself around in her wheelchair trying to do some small things which is very good for her, I think. Her therapist doesn't want her doing anything but to save her energy to her exercises. I disagree because, she's relearning her motor skills by doing the little things. Anyway, I haven't felt good all day long however, I managed to keep going. When I got home I laid down and slept a good while because I'm just not feeling good and trips to the bathroom... you get the picture. I think I've run myself down now and I have to take time out for myself to regroup once again. These past few months have been pure hell and obviously, I'm not coming out smelling like a rose... just yet. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better but not so sure that I will for this has been coming on for roughly two weeks now. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my broken crown and tooth that was inside which broke too and that maybe I have an infection of sorts and the stress that I've been under sure as hell doesn't help any. However, tomorrow is another day so we shall see how it goes and what it brings me. I've got to clean my house some day and since it's the first of the month, I HAVE to get my bills paid. I'll be going back to mom and dad's on Friday to help them get their bills paid so I'll most likely be gone all day long. Loads of fun that'll be... NOT! I do have more great news to pass along!! I have an audiologist appointment on Thursday!!!!!! Just a day away!! I'm so excited because it means, I'm one step closer to getting new hearing aids that I so desperately need!! There's an organization who's helping me get them since they cost is unbelievable!! Somewhere in the 3 thousand dollar range!! Ridiculous as hell but it is what it is and not a thing we can do about it. AND get this!! I have a dentist appointment on the 16th!! I'm finally getting my life back in some aspects which is such an awesome feeling!! YESSSS!! It IS my turn now and I'm sticking to it!! I will NOT cancel any more appointments because it's MY turn to care for myself too!! As for my cat Bobo, he's doing GREAT!! He's walking now without falling over even though he's still a wee bit lopsided still but he's doing so much better!! He is, however, getting a little bit depressed because he's not allowed to go outside on his own. We'll take him out on a harness and a long long leash, more like 5 leashes and a very light weight chain so he can roam some but not far. He likes to just go out there and lay in the pile of leaves and enjoy the fresh air and sounds of mother nature and just go to sleep. I can't trust him enough to take him off the leash for I'd be afraid he'd take off the first chance he gets and that's NOT going to happen... He has a second chance at life and I'm going to be darn sure he gets every bit of it! lol Hubby and I decided to try to sell my car for a couple of reasons. One is because the gas mileage has dropped horribly!! It went from 27 mpg to 22 mpg!! Something HAS to give!! Hubby seems to think it needs a complete tune up and now but we can't afford to do that but we might have to put it on a charge card... a never ending damned debt!! ARG!! But one has to do what we have to do especially with these gas prices as they are! Another reason is because it's a small suv which means, it's so easy to flip it if one isn't careful especially on a windy day. We have a lot of windy days here so I'd feel much safer something else. I'd love to have a mid size suv but they're too expensive and we sure as hell can't afford the payments right now so that idea is OUT. lol We need to look into a car that's good in gas mileage more than anything else. I don't want something that made of tin either because in the event of an accident, I want some steal around me!! lol But then again, as long as we're both very careful, I don't see why not. At least for a little while. Hey, sorry that this so long but I wanted to do it all in one discussion instead of two or three or what ever. I can get it all in in one shot and soon go to bed to get the rest that I so desperately need. Thanks to all of you for your love and support!! You guys are awesome!! xxxxxxxx
