What a Mad House!!!! Mood
Friday, August 1, 2008
CoolIt's been a mad house here ever since we went to Billings, Montana to see my dying mom.
I didn't know we would drive 12 hours one day then 12 the next.  I didn't eat hot meals
and oh boy has my body hollared! At first I thought it might be the diverticulous acting up,
I think some did.  I started bleeding rectacally, I have internal bleeding hemmroids.
Saw one Dr. about my last brain MRI..it IS shrinking (the halo around) but the spot
they don't know what it is hasn't grown.  Only bad news was I HAVE (3rd dr.) to use
a walker.  He had an appointment for a specialist the 7th and anotther MRI Sept 19th.
Last nite I fell relly got dizzy that morning then last nite wow it knocked me, threw
me back and part of my walker caught me but the handle got me in the middle of the
back (nice bruise eh) at least it wasn't the floor! The bleeding has stopped but am
still pretty sick of my stomach and so darn weak! It could be a lot worse right?
Mom started bleeding again 2 nites ago, it's just a matter of time.  I'm glad we
drove up to see her now tho.  I can't travel like that again.  Glad I can call her
every other day or so tho. I passed my apartment inspection yesterday IF I would
get my name on another program for someone to come in and help me with the
deep cleaning the house really needs.  I keep it as neat as a pin but theres so
much I can't do. So it's been a mad house here for 9 days.
It's 102 here today. Sandi
