Hello everyone. Remember me? The one that is trying to move from Ohio to Florida if only her house would sell? Well, my HGP was interrupted on Sept. 11, when I got the phone call that my parents (Dad and Step mom - whom I consider my true mom since my first mom died) were in a bad car accident in Tennessee (home state). My step brother moved mountains to get them both to the trauma center and held down the fort with 2 different ICU's until I could get there two days later. My DH is out of state, so I had to arrange care for my 3 children. I got back home late last night...it was a long 7 days. My dad was transferred to a rehab center yesterday, and will be there as long at it takes to get him off the walker and able to do things for himself - he's 76. I left my mom in stable condition in ICU - she had been out, then had a complication midweek, and went back to ICU. She's stable again and my stepbrother can focus on her while hometown friends keep my dad occupied in the rehab center. He's very motivated to get better so he can help with his wife (age 65) because her rehab will me MONTHS - like she's not allowed to bear weight on either leg for 90 days - then she'll learn to walk again. She has diabetes, so that time frame is barring any complications from that.
Please offer thoughts/prayers for them both and for my brother . They all need strength and healing in one form or another.
Thanks for letting me rant. It helps to talk about it. I'll have my breakdown later today.
I'll look over my holiday notebook today, and hit the ground running tomorrow ( who am I kidding, I'll do it Monday when the kids are in school) I think the next two days are for rest and cuddling with my kids.
