Crappy Saturday
 I decided that payback was in order and Garfunkel got the bath first followed by Simon  My aching back.
As I was brushing out Simon the phone rings. It was my sister(yes we are talking, barely but talking).My Mom went into the hospital this past week with TIA's(mini strokes). Her carotid arteries are blocked. The plan was to put her on blood thinners, into rehab(she's still not walking) and re-eval after a month. My sister tells me as of this morning the plan is to put her on blood thinners, put her into a nursing home and wait for her to die  . I asked what happened to the previous plan and sis tells me she is to weak to have anything done. I was asking questions and getting answers that didn't make a lot of sense. I asked her if she wanted me to come down(I'm not an expert but I "know" a lot more then her), she tells me do what I want, hands the phone to my neice, who tells me she doesn't know how much more she can take. She's upset, my sis is unglued and I'm in tears.
I call one of my brothers and ask if he's talked with sis today and he hasn't. I tell him in fits and starts what she told me. Now he's upset. Doesn't understand what's going on but tells me he will call her in the morning(can't call her in the evening as she drinks like a fish and there is no talking to her then). In the meantime Randy is checking on flights and hotels in Florida. I eventually settle down and will wait to see what my brother finds out. Randy and I went to a doggy daycare grand opening with music, food, and an Easter Egg hunt and hung out there for a little while(not much fun) and then decide to go to Culvers drive through for supper. I order a burger and a hot fudge sundea and Randy gets the chicken dinner. We drive home and open the bag from Culvers and...no burger. Oh yeah, this is such a good day. |

| That sounds like a really crappy day. The situation with your mom sounds incredibly hard. I hope tomorrow is better. |
| I feel bad for you
One thing I have learned DON'T leave the drive thru until you check your bag! I have had this happen to many times 
hope all goes well with your Mom!! |

| I'm sorry. I had one of those too.
An 11AM funeral for the husband of my son's boss. This woman has been like a second mother to my son. It was expected - she had been taking off a lot lately to spend time with him. The 2 PM funeral was for the son of a fellow school nurse. He was 27 and had played soccer with my older son years ago. Leukemia, the first bone marrow transplant failed, so they have spent 5 months trying to get him ready for a second one. His wife left him after he was diagnosed - she couldn't handle it. She came back last summer, but we think she just wanted him to support her so she could try for a singing career. She left again after 2 weeks. Then I had to go to a Celebration of Life for the father of one of our students. He was a cancer survivor wo became an alcoholic. His wife went to stay with her ill father for 2 weeks and the guy decided to stop eating. Liver failure. He spent a month in the hospital. They pulled the life support last Saturday. And I don't think he left the family in good financial shape. Did I mention that the black hose I put on early yesterday turned out to be navy? |
| Pam, I'm really sorry.
I've had a crappy week, but nothing like that. Go out and get another burger! Hopefully the rest of the load will lighten up some. Kristine |
| My thoughts are with all of you that are dealing with hard times. I know it's hard, and I hope your days look brighter today. |
| Wow. Good thing Saturday was only 24 hours long. I'm hoping today is better. |
| Yeah, I'd say that qualifies as a crappy day.
I hope you've gotten some good news about your Mom's situation today.  |
| Caring for an ailing parent is highly stressful and the stress increases when a child of the parent is also experiencing problems thus putting others on edge. Add a geographic long distance to the mix and the worry heightens. Follow your heart and good senses and know that at the end of the day you've done your very best. I hope your mother recuperates quickly. |
How horrid. I hate days when nothing seems to go right. Sorry about the news.  Hopefully your mother gets better soon. |
| Our Saturdays are so precious, and to one that sucks...REALLY SUCKS! Hope you got the burger finally, and I certainly hope your mom starts doing better fast. |
| I'm sorry you're having a rough time. |
