It has had its downs, more downs and finally it is turning around. LOL


Mom finally started cardiac rehab, which caused issues. BUT, she has finally gotten better. The Plural effusion has resolved, finally. so her lungs are no longer being compressed by fluid build up. And she still feels like crap, but is now stronger and can actually do things, more than get up and go to the bathroom and collapse back in her chair. She is ably to reheat meals and actually partially fix her own meals. Not that what I consider a well balanced meal is the same as her own idea. If she had her way she would settle for a handful of snacks and call it a meal. But I have been filling the freezer with meals. I once again am cooking for 12 even though there is only 2 of us most times and freezing the leftovers as reheatable dinners. Microwaves are a godsend LOL.


For 3 more weeks my days will start and end with driving her around , And sadly, the doctors have told her she will never be allowed to drive again as the danger of the airbag is to great. If the airbag would ever deploy, it will instantly kill her.


On my end, while I know I should not resent and tell my sister off for not helping out at all, I have exhausted myself. To the point I had become ill. While Mike has been great to jump in and help out as much as he can, he does work full time while also working on his masters program, so I don't ask him to take on more unless I cannot physically get out of bed.


While not fully well yet, as I easily get chilled and then feel awful, I am well on my road to recovery. That and several courses of antibiotics have me back on my feet.


I honestly was shocked that today is the first of February.


Mike has ordered me not to ;leave the house as he will take care of the greenhouse and chickens for me and I am going to spend the day writing. Which I am doing now, I just took a break to upload something so I don't feel as guilty.


But I do appreciate all of you and want to thank you for sticking with me the past few months during this family crisis.

It's not cursed, it's Arizona. It's a good place to live for allergies, unless you're allergic to massive amounts of dust, mold or smoke. ... Ron, get your mom an air filter. There's a great one on hsn.com from Hamilton wolf. That will help.
