It’s been a busy time.

Hello everyone.

I havent posted much in a while. It’s been a rough few weeks. As you may know, my mom passed away on Valentine’s Day. She lasted one week to the day when she went to the Hospice House. They had found her lung cancer had spread all over. It was and has been a very difficult time. I knew that I’d miss her. I just didnt realize how much.

We have her house now to clear out and then sell. We havent taken anything out b/c it’s still hard to do that. I am also in the process of moving to a much bigger house that I have no idea how I’ll keep clean…:) but that’s beside the point. We’ve been doing updates to the house we’re moving into for almost two years now. Yesterday they finished laying the carpet and so now it’s time to pack. My sister and I are taking care of Moms house and the other sister from Chicago pops in every so often to stir up trouble.
My two sisters are fighting and dont speak to each other. It makes it even worse for me to be the in between person.

I had a breast biopsy done two weeks ago and that was found to be benign. I am surprised at how it still hurts tho and the healing is slow. Today I am going for an epidural injection in my neck for a herniated disc. I put so much off for so long b/c I wanted to be with my mom and now I am full speed ahead with my own issues.

I spent every day since August 7th with my Mom and each of those days, Connor was with me. He talks about his Nana every day. He tells me she knocks on the window at day care and last night when my hubby couldnt find his glasses, he said, “maybe Nana wanted to borrow them”. He also asked me if God had a sling shot Nana could borrow…b/c she always tried to get the rabbits that got in her garden…and of course, she always missed. We also asked her in her final days to please send us pennies from Heaven so that we would know each time we found a shiny penny that she was thinking of us. You cant imagine how many pennies Connor is finding. He was so special to my mom b/c he was the first grandchild after 15 years. My sisters are alot older than me so it was like starting all over as a Nana for her. She spoiled him rotten. The love between them I cant even explain. I’m grateful to have had him for her to enjoy and give her reason in the final years of her life.

I am having probs with my hands and legs these days…increased weakness and floppiness in both feet. I guess the next step is the Neuro. One doctor at a time.

this is long enough so I’d better go…thanks for listening and being here for me.

Best wishes.
