Last WEEK was an insane week for for me.
My nurse, who takes care of me during the week, started the week with the flu. How do medical professionals gets sick? Isn't that impossible? That pretty much much had her out for the week. The feeling sick part was over and she'd come in for short stops to take care of the basics”weak as a kitten" during therecovery portion.
Add to that a sick husband during the first half of the week. David didn’t have the flu, just a REALLY bad cold. " Husbands aren't supposed to get sick either, right? No, wait, that's moms. Moms aren't supposed to get sick according to the commercial. I don't know if that's a fail as a commercial because I don't remember the product, I just remember that moms aren't supposed to get sick. Okay, I do know the truth that when husbands get sick they turn into big babies. When are husband of a disabled spouse get sick, he retreats into a sleeping and coughing shell.
So it's been a very rough week for me because it's been a rough week for the people around me.
I finally had some private time where I could actually do phone calls to go with the research I've been doing all week. After an exhausting five hours of answers that were the opposite of what I wanted to hear, Yannie, my nurse, was here for about an hour and a half. (she usually does a LOT more than nursing stuff for me) and then after she left I drifted into a semi defeated nap.
The greatest understatement I can make right now, is it my social media mojo, heck, my mojo in general, is kind of not there.
I did have a couple how long phone calls with family members, friends up in Michigan. That was good for the soul, as it always is. But right now things aren't generally fabulous for any of us. So at least for now, the two hour phone call with one of my to beloved butt kickers didn't even push me in the direction of solving my problems. She just presented me with a few more avenues to use to look for help. I'm grateful for that but it's more work, maybe better answers. I have two sisters that have been in my life for a long time, who have traditionally grabbed me by the shoulders faced me in the direction of the better choice of the ones I'm considering and kicked me in the butt to get me moving. Unfortunately what I'm dealing with right now isn't that simple. So a couple of calls felt good but it didn't inspire my creativity… Yet
Stay tuned - I'm planning to do last weekend's Friday by Request and Weekend Playlist this coming weekend.

Hate to hear you are going through such a rough time in life. May you soon find peace and improved health.
Oh Nani girl, I feel so bad that you are having a rougher than usual time. Sickness doesn't really care who we are, it just comes at us whenever it feels like it. I hope that David and your care taker are well really soon.
My cold hasn't really gone away. It still hangs on to remind me that it is bigger than I am. I just keep plugging away to let it know that I think I'm bigger than it is. Who will win? Don't care.
I hope your days will get much better. Just think, Spring is almost here. It may not look like it outside, but it's coming. Today I'm going out to take some photos of the palm trees for you. So, for now, you have a fantabulous day my friend, hugs, Edna B.
