Hello, I have mobility problems in my knees; I use a walker. I care for my mother, who is paralyzed and has Alzheimer's. I'm prohibited from doing many things, and because I didn't want to put my mother in a nursing home, my condition worsened. I had an MRI and have an appointment at 9, although this morning my doctor told me it was a little earlier. Since she's not an expert, she told me my condition isn't good. My legs and arm are failing me; the tendon is worn out. And my mother was admitted for pain and anal bleeding in the lower part of her colon. Her blood isn't circulating properly; she's in bad shape, and her condition is terminal. On Friday, they said she wouldn't survive and that if she didn't die, they would sedate her. She started to improve, and even the doctors couldn't believe it. My mother has a lot of natural strength, and now she's eating and has a strong will to live. The doctors told me she might last a few months, who knows, she might come home, and I don't know how I'm going to keep taking care of her. Her children haven't wanted to know anything about her for years.
My daughter is far away; she has lupus, and a few months ago she had heart surgery, another valve replacement. They did a procedure to avoid surgery a year ago, and she was left with many complications, and they forbade her from traveling. The good thing that happened to me yesterday was that her daughter, my granddaughter, had a baby girl, and everything is fine. It's her second daughter; I already have two great-grandchildren.
But they aren't here either until the baby can travel. They can't bring her to meet her, nor can my daughter. Because of all this, I can't log on to the page; everything came together at once.
I miss you all. If someone wants to delete me, I'll understand and I'll be sorry. I'll try to get in. Sending you blessings, hugs, and kisses, Maria. ...
Friday was a perfect 80° day. Today, Saturday, it will be 70°. Sunday it will be 75°. Take your pick, which is your favorite? In the sun yesterday, it felt like 90°. I was in the shade with a light breeze for 2 hours talking on the phone to my daughter and then I was in the sun watering and talking to plants for about 45 minutes. It is what I consider a perfect day!
These two pictures were taken about a minute apart. Mr. Cardinal and Mrs. Cardinal were both visiting our feeder. Love birds are in the air!
I have about 3, maybe more, Strawberry plants that have been under our plastic "greenhouse". Yes, I ate all 4 delicious, juicy strawberries! There are buds on all the strawberry plants and even newly forming strawberries.
I was so surprised when our plants were uncovered! Look at the beautiful colors! Happy plants! Happy ME! Rbt is happy I don't have to buy too many new plants! And yet, he knows I will.
After all, these hanging baskets have been hanging there for many months. They are not real plants. So they look good all year round in the rain, sun, wind and freeze!
