Hi,
Wow! What a week plus it has been. I've been to the local hospital for a visit and then again...ugh. I had an awful virus, felt like the flu to me! Still feel exhausted and achy but so much better. Helen--I'm right up there with you on the perfume scent...not to mention, my girls bought me the kleenex that have the vicks in them. At first I thought they were pretty cool-neat idea but too tough on me. Though-they do work like one of those jars of vicks in you leave it open in the room....
My mom was very upset by seeing me so sick, I could see the fear in her eyes. I wasn't that bad, just very weak and probably looked terrible. It was disturbing to see how much she was affected by me. I also found out that my little girl, Jessie, is having a harder time with everything happening than I had originally thought. Looks like we need to do some family counseling for fears and such.
I'm wiped out and the house looks like a hurricane came through it. Thinks it's going to have to wait another day or two. I just took down the living room christmas tree last night and today!! It still looks like xmas here and it's the 23rd of jan!! Oh well frown
I think certain doctors offices are probably tired of hearing me explain over and over again about someone being sick, sorry for not making it in....this last bought for me no communication was made with any office. I didn't think about it, even though one appt was in the hospital I was in!
Just feeling major overload. but hey!! it's different from the normal fears I deal with--so that is good....right? >>>Don't mind me, just a little insanity going on here.
Hope everyone is holding up ok.
Helen--are you better??
