She is taking baby aspirin everyday now. She has had issues with her health. They have been trying to find out what was wrong with her and finally found out about a month ago.

She has thryoid trouble. That is why she gained sooooo much weight over the last 5 yrs. Also why she has rashes on her legs that would not go away unless she was in the hospital with some machine rubbing her legs.

She had the stroke because now as of like a month ago she has started the meds and is now losing wieght and water weight that she had accumulated horribly. The meds thinned her blood some but it made clots move. she is not supposed to travel for ages. Until her legs improve more. The doctor told her it would be at least thrree months until she is out of the woods. She lost all of her sight in one eye and the other was almost completely gone.

This happeneed a week ago. She did not want anyone to worry so she just did not let ANYONE know. He r eyesight is better now. It was not lasting damages. But just makes me think it is that more certain that she may have aneurysms also just like MOM.Her doctor does not believe in the testing to see if you have an aneurysm so she did not get that done but had this testing of her thyroid instead. Good she knows now....and the other...well I guess that is just life. If it happens there is nothing I can do about it.

Just hope and pray she keeps losing weight so her body has a chance.

Change of subject. I now have a new workout partner from the Diets and Mainenance Group to help me get motivated everyday to do the exercising. She needed a buddy and I can always use someone else helping me acheive my goals. It was not until Sharon and I started working on this that I managed to actually make headway on my exercising and watching food intake.

Thanks Sharon! This does not mean you are off the hook though!LOL!

Missing my Mom the last few days. Seems as if it is seeming more and more real that she is not going to call or me see her.  Probably because it was a holiday when she passed away. Plus we would have been on the phone alot this time of the year we spent alot of time together. That won't be happening again.

My brother wanted me to come to Arkansas in a way I wish I had gone...but just too tired. Been working awful long hours and still will be for months to come. Work and taxes bookwork.

I wanted to have everyone here like last year so I could have my son call.....but that did not work out. Pool not done and inside of house not either. With the washing machine oding this last week....made it more impossible to have anyone here. As you most know hubby and I do not celebrate the holidays...but we do take advantage of all of them being off work so we can gather as a family.

Maybe I will have an anniversay party for hubby and me in August  by then maybe these things will be done and my sister will maybe be able to travel. Depends on her legs. Only 2 hours away from us but her legs swell horribly until the meds takes more effect. Over a month away...maybe she will be well enough.

Well......that is what is on my mind for tonight.

Love you all!

Sooooo many are coming home in our group.....inmates finally coming home.

Need to make a post for all to sign in if their loved one is coming home in July.

May all your worries be few and your hopes and dreams very large!

Love Rhea
