Sport Bra? or yes, but, I've been gone.
Hi all -
sorry haven't gotten to the blog. Miss y'all. However: have just returned from Denver - My 1/2 sister was diagnosed with Lou Gerhigs disease on Jan 7, so I flew out there to do what I could to help. Trip was very sad - I saw her deteriorate in just the 7 days I was there. Very sad. They asked, and I stayed a couple extra days, just to do what I could. Am so fortunate that I was able to stay on. I got lots done for them - paid bills, organized piles (funny - had just had friendTonya come over and help me with mine. Very funny), called numerous people to come in and evaluate Susie and her condition - i.e a physical therapist, occupational therapist, home health care folks, etc etc. Found and ordered books re: ALS (Lou Gerhigs disease). Got her appointement with the Head Doctor at the Respiratory Reaseach Hospital moved up, from Feb 4 to today (everyone said it couldn't be done - even the nurses there said "I can't belive you got Dr. Makee to rearrange patients for you so he would see your sister today"). I left, via taxi to the airport, from the doctors office. Susie got a ride home in an ambulance - because hubby and I got her down the stairs, in a wheelchair, to the car, but he couldn't get her UP the stairs by himself. Again, I was glad to be able to stay and help.
Got home late Tues and thought I had all day, plus 1/2 the next day - not to be. I was so rattled when I was there, I lost track of time. Pam called me Wed morning and said her Mom was soooo excited to go out to dinner that night. I said "tonight too ? " Pam said, yes, you are leaving today!
Rats. Soooo much to do, and only hours to do it. (annual taxes for business - and, they have changed the forms, etc == so have to learn NEW stuff)
Oh, since I have been sort of the "care giver" for Pam's Mom and Dad for the past couple of years, and "Dad" passed away a couple of months ago - Pam and Rob (her hubby) gave me a trip to Hawaii. But, it included me taking Gini ("Mom") from Spokane. But, she is a sweetheart, and we are now in Hawaii - and it is wonderful. (esp. after being snowed in for 36 days, and then in Denver, having more COLD and SNOW.)
Not sure how it is going with sister in Denver. Her hubby called me at 4 a.m. the day after I left and said she had had a stroke and the ambulance was there (again) taking her to the hospital. she has been "in and out", We talk each day to keep m They are doing a traceotomy on Monday, so she can (hopefully) breathe on her own. But it was sure hard for her to breath when I was there. Very sad.
Enuf !~!!!!
Everyone purchase a Bounce Free! Sport bra - and make all of us very happy. lol lol
