As many of you know I lost my mother on New Years Eve last year. Another 12 hours and she would have made it to the New Year itself. There are days I can hardly believe it has been almost 5 months since she left us. There are days when I don't want to think about it, I want to go through a day where something , even something small reminds me of her. So when I went looking for something to write about today I came to Mama Kat's Writers Workshop. Of course with Mothers Day fast approaching that … [Read more...]

But I got her home safely got her all set up and her phone next to her if she needs me..She can barely stay awake , tehy said it was from the sedation 2 days in a row.. but her O2 sats kept dropping WITH oxygen on … [Read more...]

Believe it or not, I am a basket case. Me who has it all together and balances it with a smile, a laugh and some snarky comments is left without a thing to laugh about right now. Most of you know that I care for my mother, who lives behind me. What most don't know ,save a select few , is my mother has been very ill for the last 3 months. Her sugar has been out of whack , so has her BP. She also developed diarrhea that wouldn't quit. Her doctor is about as useful as teats on a boar hog. She has a … [Read more...]

This is my mom who turned 71 this year.. Doesn't look it does she??  However in the last few years time has taken a nasty toll on her physically.
