Haven't been keeping up much with the dis lately as things have been rather hairy in my life. I mentioned on the scrapbook board that my aunt had died in January and there were lots of family issues surrounding this.
Then several weeks ago, my mother fell on ice on her porch and broke her ankle, badly. She had to have surgery to put in screws to put the bones back together. That was difficult for her as my dad's health wasn't too good, and she did a lot for him. He's been diagnosed with Alzheimers, though medication has helped some, heart problems, among other things
Then, last Tues night, my dad fell backwards down 8 steps into a window. Luckily the plastic on the window kept him from going through it but he ended up in the hospital with bumps on bruises. Then he developed a subdural hematoma and was life flighted to a hospital in Pittsburg PA. I rushed in from Indiana as he wasn't expected to make it through the weekend. He was in an induced coma until Sunday am, then he, miraculously, started breathing on his own and recognized us again. He's now in a regular room but even if he recovers from this, the chances of this happening again are high. My mom's in a wheelchair and feels responsible for him following as he was carrying something up the stairs for her.
Anyway, I just wanted to share with my dis friends what's going on. I'm just now getting caught up with things, including work and the laundry and I wanted to let those of you that are going through your own trials, like PO3 and TCPShauna, that I'm thinking of you and hoping things look up for you but I haven't had much time to respond, plus I've been a bit preoccupied lately.
When you live 8 hours from most of your family, you sometimes don't know what's going on and you sometimes get the blame for not knowing what's going on, even when you try to keep in touch.
Sorry for the long post.
