Hi to everyone! Thought I'd try for a quick update while I have a few minutes. First of all, I've tried to get into DS several times, and can't access anything. Hope that gets resolved soon, and hope I can get back in touch with everyone soon, too.
I've been kinda busy with my parents. They both have been in the hospital; my Dad was in twice and my Mom was in once. My dad was sick for several months before we could convince him to go to the ER. We have since found that he has an irregular heartbeat that will be corrected soon by 'shocking' it back into rhythm, and he also has an enlarged prostate and is having to wear a catherer until his heart procedure has been completed successfully. Then he will have to have a a laser procedure done to correct the prostate problem, and be done with the catherer. He's looking foreward to the day that he's not carrying a medical 'purse'!
My mom, who has Parkinson's Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis, was hospitalized for problems with excess fluid and some sores that needed medical attention. Since my dad is her caregiver, she is currently in a skilled care facility and is doing therapy twice daily until they both are back on their feet. I'm glad they live close to me, and I can help them out some. My brother is helping some, too. It's been a busy few weeks, and I hope to be back on here more often now, if things continue to improve with them. Thank you all for your messages and hugs and all the support. The friends I've made on here are great, and I look foreward to getting back with all of you very soon!
