I missed a few days blogging again. Just needed a little break. On Sunday MIL had a stomach feeding tube put in. I knew the hospital was sort of pushing for it. My thought was that they wanted to have that done so they could move her out of the hospital and, yes, they did move her on Tuesday to a rehab facility. Sadly, it is the same one Jane was in, so it was a little upsetting for MIL. She is now worrying about how to pay for things and of limited time allowed (by her insurance) in the facility. She wasn't in very good spirits today. It was quite upsetting. I don't know what to say to try to make her feel better or to try to keep her fighting. She says she is tired. I don't know the point to say it's okay to let go or to keep fighting. There has to be a balance somewhere, right? I'm hoping that moving her just took a lot out of her and she needs a couple of days to adjust.
It's sort of knocking me off balance so not too much is getting done around the house. I really need to make lists to keep myself on track. It would keep me busy and make me get things done! There was no walk today - which usually starts the day off right - as it was raining. I am going to make sure I have a nice long one tomorrow as the weekend isn't looking great either. I suppose it's that time of year. I am certainly not enjoying the darker mornings or the long nights. I would be able to get up later - if I could sleep! I'm still itching, though (fingers crossed) I THINK it might be getting better. I hope so. I am still itching and scratching but a bit less than before! It's been almost three weeks so surely soon it has to get better!
Hopefully, the next post will be a little bit happier
Something that did make me smile was seeing three chipmunks altogether! They are usually quite solitary animals, unless they are chasing one another around so seeing three sitting together was quite fun!

Oh dear. It's looking like a bit of an up and down time at the moment; I'm glad you saw the chipmunks as a little 'up' in the day.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is. I feel as though I'm on a bit of a roller coaster lately and I don't like them!
DeleteI'm so sorry your mother-in-law is in poor spirits. It's so hard to know what to say. I'm sorry you're still itching, too. What a misery that must be. However, the pretty little chipmunks cheered you up, so that's good. They are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteAw, the chipmunks are cute! Maybe they are siblings, not quite ready to be on their own?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your MIL's ongoing health issues. I'm sure it is upsetting for the whole family, so, I suggest taking it easy for a few days and not worry too much about getting things done. Give yourself a break. (((HUGS)))
Thank you for the kind words. I was thinking they were siblings. They are usually just chasing one another around!
DeleteLove the chipmunks they are so cute. I love the dark nights. Always feels so cozy when you draw all the curtains and snuggle in for the night.
