Dear So and So

[Pax]

Dear TE,

Update on my mom: she is now 2.5 weeks post op on her surgery (aortic valve replacement and triple bypass), she is at a rehab center and it is slow going. She wants more than anything, to go home and have her life back, but they're trying to control her BP and she's just tired all the time.

On a personal note, I'm exhausted and would really like my life back too.

Signed,

So, so tired TE'er

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.

Mimi, how are you and Don doing?

(((Pax))). What Mimi said. Try to carve out a bit of time for 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.

More good thoughts for you. I'm glad you got a break. And good thoughts to your brother for his surgery.
