Finally...

Mom had cataract surgery on her right eye. It's been almost two years since she had the left eye done. There'd been too many crises to attend to in the intervening time period, but we finally got it done!

She's seeing better and that makes me feel better.

Daddy

Daddy has his last 'appliance" removed on Friday. The G-tube is GONE! No more tube feedings. Daddy is now taking in all all of his nutrition by mouth again. That was a long 16 months.

Hooray!

Sick

I've been sick for the past three days. How does one go from being healthy to having a double ear infection and a sinus infection overnight? Don't know how, but I can do it!

DH insisted I go see the dr. on friday. I didn't want to, as I didn't think I was all that sick. But I'm so glad I went and got the antibiotics. Had to miss my mom's b-day today as a result. She's in line to get cataract sugery performed later this month and I am not going to get around her and pass on an upper resp. infection -- something she's very susceptible to.

i guess we'll celebrate later.

must go -- off to rest, so I can be better on the morrow.

Good days

We've had some good days lately. My hubby is back after an overseas business trip; the oldest DS is getting the hang of the middle school schedule and homework; the youngest DS is enjoying 2nd grade. I have had time to sew some. I have made a new skirt for myself and am working on a tunic top now. I still have heaps of projects waiting in the wings.

My parents are both doing fairly well. My dad has been home for 8 1/2 weeks now. Just a few more days and his time banks with Medicare will have both been reset. He's been out of a hospital setting long enough that THAT one has already reset.

I guess my absence at the blog site is due to free time to do other fun stuff.
