thoughts
limping along on three brain cells.
I am SOOOooooOOOOoooo not ready to go back to school tomorrow.
Spring vacation wasn't really a vacation, it was time off of paid work. I love my family, but they are work. 10 hour drive out, pleasant weather, wasn't too bad. What I didn't know when I drove out last Monday was that Dad had fallen in the bathroom the day before. When I saw him on Tuesday he had a big ugly goose-egg bruise on his head.
Apparently the effort he expended trying to get up off the floor really wiped him out. He was very slow all week while I was there. Little things were marathon efforts for him.
Mom has more or less resigned herself to the fact that Dad is never really going to regain his former vigor, that if something happens he probably won't be able to recover. She is already mourning the loss of him.
She's also thinking a lot about what she will need to do if she survives him; she doesn't really like any of the options that she sees.
I'm completely at a loss to know how to comfort her, advise her, provide her with an acceptable alternative.
Got back yesterday, the drive back was harder because I was more tired (sleep deprived). Glad to be home!
A massage business opportunity has come up - I'll be working with my personal trainer offering sports massage to his clients as part of a package deal. Some details still to be determined.
Wish I had another day or two to put my self back together before going back to work, the gears are really grinding!
