I’m sorry for not posting or responding to your
blogs. My husband flew out of town for work to Washington State on Monday, and
Tuesday night my Mom was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. I won’t go into detail about what happened at
the hospital; in the end, Mom passed away on Wednesday at 12:07 AM.
Many of you may not know what I’ve been dealing with
for the last two years regarding my Mom.
I’ve been driving to Texas whenever possible to help my sister take care
of our Mom, since the passing of Dad.
Since
the passing of my Dad, Mom hasn’t been well.
One week after Dad’s passing; Mom went into the hospital and had major
surgery. Preparing for this surgery, Mom
was required to stop taking her blood thinner medication. Note, the blood thinner medication was to help
prevent her from having a stroke. After the
surgery, while recovering at home, Mom suffered a major stroke or several mini
strokes (doctors were unable to determine).
There were no visible signs on Mom’s body of having a stroke (like her
smile drooping on one side, no use of hand or leg). The only symptoms Mom suffered from was a brain
bleed/damage causing dementia/Alzheimer, on top of being a full fledged diabetic.
Over the last 10 years, Mom refused to keep her diabetes under control, causing
other medical issues.
Please let this be known, if you’re a diabetic and don’t
keep your diabetes under control, you will eventually suffer, and so will your
family.
Life is
simple, and you can continue to smell the roses, and enjoy it, that is, if you
take care of what you really need to take care of……….YOURSELF!!!! Listen to what your body is telling you. In
the end, all you truly have is your health.
Friends, I will be back as soon as I can, to welcome
new blogger friends, to create posts, and to comment on your blogs.
Blessings to you all,
Your Friend,
Sandy
