Well, this was a bad week. My mom is not coming out of the sedation well and it is taking way too long for her to become responsive. We have been seeing gradual improvements. It has been so hard not to get discouraged. There have been a lot of steps back as well as steps forward. But if we look at things day-by-day, we are seeing improvements and she is moving forward in her recovery. It is so hard seeing her as she is and not knowing how she will be functioning when and if she pulls through.
I sort of threw healthy eating out the window this past week and now I feel like crap. I am having a revelation of something I already knew: eat crap, then feel like crap.
People are weird, I saw my uncle for the first time in years. Talk about flashback, he used to always tease me when we were growing up, (he is only 2 years older than me.) All I can say is he has not changed, he started making snide remarks about being vegetarian - oh whatever, I am not the one that had by-pass surgery as he did.
The quote on my calendar happens to be: "There are two days about which nobody should ever worry, and these are yesterday and tomorrow." ~ Robert J. Burdette
That is good advice and then the little motivational advice is: "The harvest is in! Check a local farmer's market for your favorite fruits and vegetables."
Just what I needed to hear (read) this morning.
