RubyRedSox's Journal, 28 August 2010

GOOD NEWS!! I FINALLY get to go see my mom!! It's not easy to arrange rides especially when mom has been taken to different hospitals by ambulance over the course of all this. I arrange something and then something would happen and she'd be moved somewhere else. A few days ago they lost her and it took me over an hour of calls just to locate her again!! It's been SO frustrating!

Too much going on to write everyone. I've been cleaning out my mom's apartment, she's back in the cardiac wing of the hospital over 70 miles away and she just got a pacemaker. The doctor isn't expecting much but hopefully she'll be here a little longer. What she needs is open heart surgery because her heart is really bad but she wouldn't survive the operation.

I know my journal isn't really "diet" related as of late but where else could I post? I know I have friends here who care and and THAT means the world to me. Aside from our diets, losing weight and getting in shape, we ALL have our personal challenges. Mine is dealing with all this alone with my fibromyalgia screaming at me and keeping my diabetes in check without losing my mind.

I'm not done cleaning out her apartment.. had to put her kitty down (at her request) and my apartment looks like a storage unit; TOTAL CHAOS because my fibro will only allow me to work on this a few hours a day and I have to push myself to do that. Yeah.. it's really been...

But I am very grateful I get to see her today!

I do hope everyone is well and doing fine :)

Be well..

Oh, Ruby I am sooo sorry that you are having such a hard time right now. But I am glad that you get to see her today! Hope that she is getting sronger and can get the care that she needs. I am so sorry, though, that you had to put her kitty down. That is so hard to do. As for our journal, that is what it is for....to journal your feelings and what is going on in your life that could affect your weight and your health. I am still praying for you and for your dear mom. Try to take it easy. The boxes will still be there when you are able to move them and unpack them. Take care dear friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily!

Hi Ruby, you are the sparkling beautiful rare gem named well by your Mother. I am so very happy you are going to be with her. As you hold her hand and feel that exchange of energy (love) remember it is always with you now matter how far away your physical bodies are. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. TOWANDA!!
