Getting back where I need to be

These past few months have been a whirlwind of changes. My mother, who is 77, had complications due to diabetes, as well as heart related issues. This occurred in May. After being hospitalized for two months, she showed signs of cognitive decline, but when I brought it up to my one bro mechanic, he refused to look into any long term care. Instead, he chose to bring her back into this household, without talking about it with any of his other siblings. Long story short, it was a disaster. At the time of this writing, mom is living with mechanic because I told him that I’m not capable of caring for her in the way she needs.

It’s been pretty quiet since she left in August, which helps ease my anxiety. Meanwhile, my son Vee has been helping me to fix up my living space. I got a new desk, dvd shelves, and a new bed and mattress. I’m sure Greta the diva dog can’t wait to settle in once I change the mattress out. She’s pretty much taken over my whole bed. You wouldn’t think a little dog would take up so much space, but she does it expertly!

What else..hm.

Oh yes, I’m somewhat of a gamer, but not by today’s standards. I say this because on my recent birthday, Vee got me a PS3, because he knew that I’ve been wanting to acquire replacement games such as Silent Hill 1, and Parasite Eve. As most every gamer knows, the PS3 has become obsolete. However, due to these particular games costing hundreds of dollars on their own, my son chose to buy the system for me, knowing I could get those games digitally for a few bucks, thereby saving me an extraordinary amount of money.

Now that my living space has been organized, I can focus on my continuing mental and physical self care. Spoiler alert, when you turn 50, it’s almost like your health insurance company and your MD have this scanner or something that can tell when you hit that mark, because you are encouraged to make more doc appointments, have more tests, etc. Oh, I know it’s a good thing, I’m just moaning and groaning because I hate doctors! 😆

All in all, things are coming together, slowly. I feel like I’m making some progress, and looking forward to better days.

Be Well,
