Well my buddies, I am back. Thank you all so much for all your heart warming notes of concern and consolation.
Needless to say the past 3 weeks have been anything but normal. The sudden passing of my brother on Palm Sunday (4/17) at age 56 due to a massive heart attack has thrown another wake up call my way and only reemphasizes the extreme need for me to take off more of this weighty burden on my health. Combine that tragedy with the hospitalization of my husband (once again) on Easter morning really has thrown me for a loop. Hopefully, he will be coming home on Wednesday. Dear Lord, I truly have more than enough on my plate.
Too late to weigh in tonight, will jump on the scale in the morning. I did journal my food for today and tomorrow. On the positive side, I did take all my meds and vitamins while I was gone. Tried to pay some attention to what I was eating as appetite came and went sporadically. Our family and friends were so great, food kept coming constantally and no cooking on our part was required. So greatful for that. Trying to keep my 80 year old parents healthy is a full time job. My dad got pneumonia and both are on mild sedatives. I will be the executor of my brothers estate since he died without a wife or a will. There is no way either of my parents can handle that. Sadly enough my brother had met the love of his life only about 5 months ago. My heart breaks for her.
Well, that is all for tonight my friends. I will be catching up on all your journals during the week as time allows.
