Mom and I: Dec 1967

There's so much to post but I'll keep this short. My own sweet mother was admitted to the hospital on November 7th for kidney failure and then, tests came back showing she had suffered a stroke. Placed on life support for days, the evenings that I spent in ICU with her, work that I missed to make sure that she was given the best medical care. On November 11th the staff and doctor asked us to make the choice: leave her life support or take her home to live out her remaining time (she was comatose by then and not resposive). November 12th, we took mom off life support. 10 yrs prior, we had made the same decision with dad who passed away. Got mom home and she passed on November 13th. I haven't really had a chance to grieve her passing as, my main concern was my sisters wellness. Someone has to carry the weight: why not me?
My last visit with my doctor had me looking for a hole to crawl into. Take better of yourself! Stop stressing over others!
Oy!

Learning to walk after my own stroke in 2013

Teaching myself on how to play the Irish Whistle.

I suck.

FB kitty cries when I practice (unlike he would do when I was practing my violin). At least the law hasn't been called out on me yet for the noise.  

the running lung

Amazing on how social media can dangle a carrot in front of one, and it bites.

Hard.

Cutting back from Facebook and all it's drama (it is; what it is) and back to blogging, cause really; that's what it's all about. Putting thought's down.

I did my first 5k last weekend. Strides walk for breast cancer. Not that I have cancer. Yet. But what I do have are friends who incourage me: to meet my goals. To say: You can do it!

Started feeling crummy after the event. Slept all day Sunday, followed with hacking cough that I've developed last few days. Monday morning I had enough. Couldn't do walk-in at my GP. So off to urgent care I went. 3 hours later...

Flu and lower lung infection. Take meds. Use inhaler. Fine. I'll blow and suck at the same time.

Catching up.

Short but sweet.

Brother Tommy passed away Dec 3, 2012 here intown.
Apirl 16, 2013 landed me in ER after suffering a stroke. I live but have changed my life style. NO more soda's. No burgers. No deep fried foods. No sweets. Dropped from 230lbs to 175 (gained 10 of it back the past few weeks.  :p  

That's it. Told ya it was short. 

Only in the dale...

My peeps... the Dalians. I'm proud of em at times, and at others; not so.

While cleaning up my desk at work, I came across a recent app and found it humorous and have to share:

Illness: Foot issues, worst care of athlete's foot.

Effects: Nausea, light headness, vision blurred.

Sounds like if you'd stop drinking; you wouldn't have this issue!!! Leave Strawberry Hill alone!

:-)

Stick me baby!

Been suffering from these bad ass headaches here for the past month. Wasn't all too sure if it was caused by sinus's or, from a tooth. T'was a tooth!. All fixed now until December, when I go back in for 5 crowns (and we're not talking with the gems either).

Not worth hearing

Normally I don't get bent out of shape over riding the GET bus. But damn lady! Don't be trying to rush everyone to sit down. She tried yelling @ me but didn't get very far... thanks driver for sticking up for our civil rights. Black power!
