OK.. update time...
Grandma is out of the hospital, is weak, and tired, but ok... only prob is, she's fighting naps (maaan.. she sounds like Kym!), and she's fighting the low sodium thing. Mom is staying with them for awhile until eitehr Grandma is stronger, or.. and I think this may be more likely, altho nothing has been said yet, until they can find an assisted living place for Grandma and Grandpa to move into since Grandma has declared that she doesn't want to cook anymore.
Mom and my Aunt are trying to get Grandma to see reason about the diet by pulling the guilt trip card... namely, from my Aunt, "Don't you want to be around in May when Karl (my cousin) get married??" and from my mom, "Don't you want to see your great grandaughter Kym when they come up this summer?" So.. things are going as well as can be expected on that front.
Here, I've been sick, again. a few know that I was complaning bout feeling cruddy and constantly tired. My temp the other day was 98.0... which is low... so I've been a good girl and drinking tea, and wearing a blanket, and going to bed by about 11pm every night, if not earlier, and taking NyQuil. I'm better now, but apparently Kym has it now.. only she has a fever instead of a chill. Her temp today was 100.1, which, while not high enough to be calling a doctor, is still high enough to be concerned. I THINK this is caused from all the drastic temp and weather changes we've been having. Flood watches are in effect for our area until monday. luverly... at that time we're looking forward to MORE rain which will be turning into freezing rain as the temp drops. They are expecting the Ohio River to flood by mid week.
I'm sorry I haven't been around, but between me feeling like crud, and now Kym feeling like crud, I've just been plain worn out. I've been even falling asleep for a half hour or so in the afternoons.. which is almost unheard of for me. All I can do for Kym is give her baths and infant's tylonol, and to hold her and try to comfort her. We're not even considering church in the morning becaues it's still raining and I'm not taking her out in it any more than I have to.
On top of all this, one of the teens from my church, who I'm very fond of, and who trusts me.. for some odd reason, has been coming over fairly frequently to talk. I am very honoured that she trusts me with the topics that we discuss, and I won't ever turn her away, but it has been one more thing keeping me away and draining me a lil since thru it I re-live some of my own experiences. Right now tho, she needs me to be available to her whenever I can be, even Roy agrees that she is always welcome here, no matter when. For those who know some of my history, let's just say that she reminds me a LOT of how I used to be when I was her age.
Anyway, I'll be back as soon as I can... I am MISSING being in migraton... and killing my quota of thralls. *grumps*
