My son starts school today. His first day of high school not how we imagined it but how it needs to be.
Wee one loves kindergarten.
I am so busy with running two fitness challenges, trying to grow my business, working, and living life. It is good.
Saturday I was going to see my parents and brother for a little while after work. Brother was able to come for the weekend but I had to work all weekend so it was just a little slice of time we carved out. THat morning my Dad called, I had just clocked in to work. "I'm going to try to get there, but I'm so tired, I'll check in after work and let you know if I am too tired to make the drive" I said. "Oh, well, your brother and I are just going to bed - your mother fell again last night and we had to call the ambulance...."
So yeah. After he explained the situation I just knew she must have broken something, and sure enough - her hip. They spent Saturday getting the coumadin out of her system and thickening her blood, did the surgery on Sunday. She tells me she doesn't want me to come visit. I did get to talk to her yesterday morning and thought she sounded as well as can be expected.
Sunday night Dad told me they were worried abut her blood pressure stillbeing so high and she was confused and delusional. She thought she was at the American Legion Post...They asked her about her alcohol use and Dad now says she drinks 8-12 ounces of scotch on the rocks every night...And now they think she is going through withdrawl.
Poor Mom. But she quit smoking 5 months ago so she isn't struggling with that on top of everything else. She was apparently drunk when she fell, and it was the second time I am aware of this month. So she is where she needs to be for this journey as well.
I hope you all are well. Inching closer to the one year mark,
~Eli
