I admit that I only just came home from my slave's house yesterday, early in the morning, after being there for six days. His mother is not feeling well and I told him to visit her daily and take care of her for two to three weeks, or longer if that's what she needed. She is depressed this time of year, this is the first Thanksgiving and Christmas she has to get through without her sister and one of her daughters as both died this past year.
I admit she was so depressed she stopped eating for over 24 hours. This is not good for a diabetic. Some TLC from her son since Thanksgiving is helping her to bounce back, and they have talked and she is okay with him spending until early Friday with her, and then letting him drive down to me later that day, staying until Tuesday morning, when he will drive back home to help her out again. Four nights! Usually I am the one spending 3-4 nights over at his house, and bringing him back to mine for two nights. He has a doctor's appointment here on Monday that he cannot miss, and I was expecting him to drive down during daylight hours on Monday, staying the night, and then driving back before dark on Tuesday. Before he drives to me, he will be seeing that her bills are paid first, as this is what upset her earlier this month when he stayed with me for a week and a half while I was in intensive care for most of that time. I told her I will try very hard NOT tying up her son on the third of each month, so she can have use of him. [;)]
I admit I will be helping her with bathing when I can, until we solve a problem that has been hampering her independence, by getting her insurance to pay for a hydrolic chair for her bathtub. bo will also install some hand rails.
I admit I have been lazy about knitting and need to get on it. Aargh. Also, I cannot find my loom for making doubleknit scarves... *bonks head in frustration* I have to knit two scarves before Christmas.
I admit...I am going downstairs shortly to play Pokemon Rumble...and my hands will be too busy with the controller to be able to knit at the same time, lol. After my son comes back from playing Yu-Gi-Oh at his friend's house, then we will watch some DVD together and THEN I will behave and start knitting.
I admit that yesterday I was out of sorts at waiting four hours in the hospital to get my blood test, to check how thin my blood is with that rat poison stuff the doctor is making me take, lol. I was jabbed with a needle...and tomorrow is also another needle sticking day at my oncologist. Just getting my CBC and my port flushed with heparin but aaaargh! I am so sick of needles I could scream. (Which is strange, cuz I keep looking at bo and thinking temporary piercings would look so good on him, lol.)
I am "dieting" by eating more often than my usual one or two meals per day. Snacking on something, even if it is only a popsicle or a raw, red bell pepper or celery stick every 2-3 hours, and eating my normal meals the rest of the time. I have been adding more calories and not exercizing...and in the past two weeks I have lost 12 lbs. Yay! I knew I had messed up my metabolism, sending it into starvation mode, but it is so hard to remember to eat something often. Buying a big pack of V8s from Sams is helping with the "burden" of eating more frequently, basically grazing all day long, and making it a little easier.
