Kim's new and improved life journal!

[kimwim8]

Thanks Tracy. There isn't much that can be done for me. Just knowing you all have my family in your thoughts and prayers is so wonderful!

My mom said this morning that her blood pressure is still erratic, but it's not going up as high as yesterday morning, so they are moving her to another room. Something like ICCU....not as much need as ICU but not ready for a regular room yet. We're still hoping for a transfer to Philly tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!!

Also wanted to just note in my journal that I finally got out for a run this morning. I ran 3.2 miles in 35 minutes. I felt GREAT the whole time and really focused on my breathing and the music in my ears. I had been afraid to run while I have all of this going on with my family because I thought that I might go crazy thinking about it all...but that wasn't the case at all. I think it was REALLY good for me. It's something I have control over, and that's what I need right now. Does that make sense?

Thanks again, to all of you!

Kim,

More hugs for support! So glad to hear of your great run! I certainly understand the control issue. When things get irratic, control helps to keep us sane.

More pixie dust for you and your mom and your family!

Prayers for your mom. Hope she gets moved to Philly soon because those hospitals are the best.

Kim - Continued thoughts for you, your mom and your family....

Also, great job getting out there and running! I think it's very theraputic and can really help to clear your head so it's nice to see that it made you feel better! Don't worry about the time, just get out there and use it to 'escape from the world'...sometimes we all need a little of that.

Keep your chin up!

Hey all...

Nothing new to report with mom, unfortunately. Still waiting for a transfer.

I ran this morning (earliest I've ever had to get up to run - 6am!!). It's funny - when I first get up, I'm like "oh man, do I HAVE to do this?", then I get out there & I'm like "I'm glad I'm doing this", then I get about 1/2 way done and I'm like "WHY am I doing this?", then on the home stretch I'm like "I'm SO glad I did this"!!

Am I the only one that talks to myself??

 

[tbstein]

Oh Kim, still sending you wishes!

And no, I chat with myself all the time. If I am caught, I tell people that it assures me at least one intelligent conversation a day!

Hugs to mom!

YES!!

 

[kmp1191]

hey kim.....are you still there??
how's mom?? how's you??

 

[kimwim8]

I'm still here! Thanks for asking!

Nothing new to report, unfortunately. Mom is still here. She's having another cat scan of the pancreas today. And we're still waiting for a bed at Jefferson. It's starting to be unbelievable to me that a hospital could be completely full for 3 weeks!! Sorry, I guess I'm just frustrated.

Take care, everyone. I'm heading out to the big DISmeet in Allentown tomorrow with Jen (Blueeyes101817) and my DH. We're all staying over and doing Dorney Park on Sunday. I'm looking forward to having a bunch of fun, and taking a mental break from what's going on around here.

Thanks again guys, for being here (or there) for me. This has gone on MUCH longer than we ever anticipated. Hopefully our lives will get back to "normal" soon!

Hey Kim,
Hope you're having lots of fun. Isn't Dorney Park the one with all the Snoopy stuff? DH and I thought about going there when we were in PA 2 weeks ago. I can't believe I didn't plan a meet up with any of my WISH friends from the northeast. It didn't even cross my mind. Guess I was too focused on getting to the chocolate. We even got lost at one point and ended up in New Jersey. So we were right there at ya. We had to pay a stupid tourist toll of $3 to get back to Philadelphia. How dumb are we? Well, talk to you later. Check out my journal reason #20! I'm really excited about it!!!
