ah {{{{{Pax}}}}} It is SO hard... try to take a day off, even an afternoon off. Believe me, your mother will understand.
Thanks for the update.

(((((((Pax)))))))
Mimi, how are you and Don doing?
(((Pax))). What Mimi said. Try to carve out a bit of time for yourself.
(((Pax))) Please take good care of yourself.
I got a day off yesterday, my brother took a turn. It was awesome, my honey and I went to the gym, I got in a fantastic swim, we had a nice lunch, did the grocery shopping, and then went home and watched a movie. It was heavenly!!
My brother is having eye surgery at Northwestern on Thursday so it will be my last break for a while, but as mom improves the visits are a bit less stressful. Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.
PAX - Hang in there girl. Sounds like things are slowly on the mend for your Mom.Quote:

Hang in there Pax.
I think this is the stage of things that become more wearing than earlier stages. She is starting to feel better but her body isn't quite ready to do what she wants it to do... My mom has been in this place for almost 2 months now, it is hard on her.
More good thoughts for you. I'm glad you got a break. And good thoughts to your brother for his surgery.Quote:

How are Raleighdon and me doing? he's in chemo right now for the day. By tomorrow he will feel like a ragdoll; by SUnday he will feel like going for a bike ride. It's a tough road he has but he realizes now that he WILL have good days, and that life is worth living.
Me, i'm doing ok too.
((((((Don & Mimi)))))) I'm so glad Don is feeling it's worth it. Hang in there, both of you.
Pax, take good care - do try to take at least a little of your life back.
((((Mimi and Don)))). I hope you both find all the strength, encouragement, support, and care you need on this journey.
Dear self -
Your life is fine. So you hate your job - no big deal. Yes it sucks, but things could definitely be worse. HTFU, buttercup.

p.s.
Hugs to Pax, and Mimi and Don!
