A Bit of an Update...

[morethansirius]

Sorry I disappeared yet again! Just when I think I have things figured out and recapture some ME time on LJ Real Life has other plans. I took on a new job working from home in May and that's been keeping me busy. Unfortunately, after a good summer, Mom has had several falls in September. No breaks, but some bad bruises and lots of aches and pains.

Life does has a way of interfering with fun. Sorry re your mom. Does she have a walker? If not try one. More importantly, get her meds checked, BP meds can cause falls. Might need them reducing or cutting out.

Thanks, I'll take all the professional advice I can get! Yes, she is on a walker, though she does have a bad habit of parking it from time to time. She's been much better about keeping it with her lately. We monitor her BP and she's been doing fine in that regard and they did a blood draw to check for anemia and potassium and sodium issues which tend to plague her. Borderline low on the latter, but they have improved in the last three weeks. This all started with fluid in her ears and a bit of dizziness. The fluid is finally gone and she'll be on Zyrtec for a while to keep it at bay. Horrible pollen and mold levels around here lately. Everybody's allergies are going nuts!

I'm so glad to see you posting! I've missed you! Sorry to hear about your mom though. I hope she is feeling better and you'll have more LJ time.

*hugs you*

Hi sweetie, so glad to see your post. Believe it or not I was just thinking of you the other day and thought about PM'ing you, but then I let the thought slide and decided to wait until we get back from out trip.

Sorry hear about your mom, hope she continues with her exercises from therapy to keep up her strength and avoid any more falls. Hope also that you have time to pop in here from time to time. We all realized that the RL concerns come first, but sometimes it helps to escape for bit from RL just for a little while and hang out with your invisible friends. ;)
