Mom's home.....

It's been a rough few days. Mom is home and very displeased with Carol and me. She thinks that we should be available to her around the clock. Carol says she didn't work 45 years to be mom's caregiver. She is willing to share in this but with both brothers out of town or state it's me or Carol. I'm in Prescott so that leaves Carol. She's hoping to get her condo and be up here too. We have come to the decision that she needs someone to live with her but no one even has a key to her house. She doesn't trust anyone to be in her house, not even family. She says she changing the will and will cut out all the grandkids and possibly Carol and me. It's her money and that part is okay except she really only has us in the valley. IDoen anyone out there have the same problems with aging parents???? If so please let me know. Hugs......

L O N G week. . . .

Mom started with dizziness and then would fall. this happened 4 xs before I finally talked the ER dr. into admitting her and solving the problem. She was terribly upset and really didn't agree but something had to be done. She had been in the ER three times in three days. Ughhhh! She had an MRI on the brain, echocardiogram on heart and carotid artery ultrasound. The drs. found NOTHING wrong. This is somewhat disturbing because it happens with no warning. The dr. said she could start driving and resume her normal activities on Sunday!!!!! They say maybe just a slight virus UMMMMM! That could be anything. Anyway the four of us kids are going to have to set aside some time and make some decisions for future occurances. She is very negative - doesn't like the drs.; doesn't like the hospital; etc. and wants to move to TX so she can be closer to Bill. Fine with me, lets put the house on the market tomorrow. Bill spends half his time in WashingtonDC for lobbying so who would be around????? Whatever.

Annivsary week to celebrate!

Yep, for those of you who gave us six weeks we are celebrating 33 years on the 16th LOL More in love today than the day we married. It has been an amazing life with my best friend. I look forward to many, many more years and experiences with him. We are planning a Cruise America 4 month trip next summer. Going to the states we are not familiar with and haven't really visited other than stopping at the airport. It should be lots of fun. Not something I would have considered earlier in life but have rethought it and think it will be a fantastic experience. Scott is doing great with his teeth and looks soooo handsome these days. I can't bear the thoughts of going to the valley heat even though I do have to get my well woman check. I have put it off until it cools off.
