    One Step at a Time - December 2013

    Hey all...
    Bret and I spent the day managing Pop. They wanted to move him from the hospital to rehab and we were determined that he should go home. He is happiest there and Nana can get some rest. We finally got doctors to release him, bought some dinner and got him home to Nana. She had a huge meltdown and we all three sat and cried for a while. She is overwhelmed and her heart is breaking. I am so glad we were there for her. I have not seen that woman cry the 28 years Bret and I have been together.
    I am sorry to be gloomy and bring everyone down.
    I am just in a strange place in my head. Seeing Pop this way has me worrying about getting old. (er)
    love and hugs to all...keep your family close....you will need them some day
    I love you all....tears starting again
    ps....Nora, I am glad you are dreaming about me!!
    I love my family more than alcohol.:h

          Mama you're not bringing anyone down! :l I'm so grateful you are sharing your story- it helps me process my own experience with my parents :h

          Liz really glad your daughter dialed that back. I hope I didn't offend suggesting you vacation there. I have to add humor to bleak situations...I think it's just my default mode...well, that and drinking!

          Nora, I left you a message the other day. I'm so glad you are up and about. Being sick at holiday time is the worst! :l

          Thanks for you lucky thought Shelby! They did me good! The day was exhausting but went off without to much trouble. And I met the coolest lady at the show...we both snuck up to the balcony to watch our kids (ok, I lead that criminal venture; I admit it ) and it turns out she's a Twin! We had such a great talk about the girls. I hope I see more of her as our children go through the studio.

          Anyway, just wanted to give a check in. One more performance today and then school and then the competition and then done done done!!!!! At least until the Spring:H

          Check back later...and no have to read back as well so sorry I missed people. Here's a big group hug for everyone's Serene Sunday :hug:

            Omg kradle, no offense taken! I appreciate the humor. You seem like you're in a good place right now. Gives me hope this nasty stuff will pass here too. FYI I am an identical twin also!

              MAE all,
              Church had a children's choral thingy today and it was nice...some kids just cant hold still.
              Then we went to lunch and visited dad. He was a little more coherent today. He will never get better so I just need to adjust and take what he says and not try to correct him. Just go with it...easier said than done for me but I am working on it. The LTC place had a cookie/punch get together today. Dad is just not a joiner but they gave the famlies a bad with cookies and ornaments that looked like it was the activity for the seniors. Cute but we dont put up a tree...good cookies and hot chocolate...mmmmm
              Football later so my day will be complete.

                Hi everyone....

                Mama - my heart is just breaking for you. :h Have they said anything regarding how long? I just wondered if it was time for hospice. Try to remember to take care of you.

                Liz - an identical twin. Nice. Glad that you were able to reach a compromise with CJ. How's your dog doing today?

                Kradle - sorry I never called you back. I figured you were going to be so busy running around with the girls that I didn't call. So glad that you met someone nice. I'm sorry that things are still hard with Matt. But, it seems like the counselors expect this. :l

                FT - when do you get to see your Checkers player friend? :H Hope it's soon.

                Shelby - how are you doing? Is your son better?

                Tony - are you all better after your procedure? Hope you're feeling all better and not flashing your butt at anyone. :H

                Dottie - hope everything goes ok for your doctor appointments. Glad you were able to visit with your Dad.

                Glass - how are you doing? Are you out of school right now?

                Pauly - I meant to tell you that you are doing great!! 42 days is amazing! :l

                K9 - I hope that you have been having a nice weekend reading or just chilling. How's WHN?

                Well - I've got to get some things wrapped to get in the mail. Scott's birthday is on Saturday and I want to mail his presents. His Dad just can't be alone at all. Can't walk on his own. Has a walker but Scott walks along behind him with a Gait Belt. Scott is just taking care of everything. It's hard because Scott is in such poor health himself but he's handling it really well. He has a good attitude about being there for his Dad.

                  Just returned form the ER. My hands itched like crazy and were very red..started sweating like crazy..told dh to take me to ER. They did and EKG and it was normal so they started me on benedry and pepsid for the allergic reaction...NO clue what I am allergic to...may need to start an elimination diet and see if I can find something...always some dam thing....
                  Sorry for the duplicate post to NN but wanted to check in here too.

                        PS : Dottie, don't know if this applies but Sedona has this same kind of allergic reaction nice in awhile. We keep plenty of Claritin and Aveeno anti itch cream. Dr has checked her out...but really I think it's excitement and stress induced... :l

                          Everyone sounds great...sorry I am not commenting individaully, just feeling a little overwhelmed.
                          I am at work and fine.
                          Super big hugs to all.....and thanks for all the support.

                                MAE all,
                                Feeling foggy this morning...probably from all the benedryl the pumped into me...bleh..
                                I am going to look into finding a nutritionist or someone to help me figure out if the is a food thing and if not then it must be a stress thing...need to know what to address before I can do anything about it....but AL is definitely NOT on my mind...that would really make things so much worse..
                                Staying today and going to take it easy...had more snow so that will be fun to shovel..with the snow blower only.....or not.....my choice.
                                Back later,
                                Dottie
