This blog was formerly dedicated in 2009 to my Dad who died of Alzheimer's in 2013. It's been three years now...and I find myself missing blogging...so I am re-inventing my blog... because, after all, life is about moving through, and going forward...

Updates and many thanks...

Spoke with Dad this morning.  His voice sounded very garbled.  He thinks he has dysentary.  He told me he was having a CT Scan.  I spoke with the nurse and she said if Dad's brain bleed is not any bigger, Dad might be released back to the nursing home tomorrow...

Went to my primary care doctor today for a nurse visit.  She swabbed my nose for the MRSA. My doctor called me last night and told me the receptionist was wrong, he would do the test for me.  They did not even charge me for it!  I should have the results in 48-72 hours, but I am sure I am fine.


I wanted to thank each and every one of all of my blogging friends for all your kind words, prayers, support, and concern for Dad and our family.  Words cannot adequately express how much it means to me.  God Bless each and every one of you.  I consider myself so very fortunate for meeting all of you.

Just curious...what difference does it make if the nurse swabbed your nose or the doctor?

Donna, A piece at a time, it sounds as though you are getting the story behind your dad's fall, while he is recovering in the hospital. Not the Mother's Day any of you had in mind. I am so grateful that his injuries were no worse. Thank you again for coming by in the middle of all this to see me at the demo. Just when we thought you might be able to sit and take a deep breath...xoxo

Glad your Dad is doing well and may be discharged soon. And that you are most likely ok too! I know this has been a tough week for you.
