oh geez - what a wonderful surprise!!! thank you all - it's been an honor to hang out here. and it's been a personal adventure!
toast with peanut butter all around - 1 tbs, please!
as for today - i spent it in the hospital! the alzheimer's mom woke up an couldn't get out of bed - too dizzy. so, the ambulance came, and we were in the ER before 7:30. she was admitted, and got to her bed around 5 pm.
she'll be fine, but i can't take care of her if she can't stand and move, even a little bit. and she needs more tests tomorros.
BUT - a person who made a HUGE difference in my life walked by. one of the respiratory therapists who took care of me during my unfortunate incarceration. her advice changed my life. she said: your exercise is to take 10 deep breaths 6 times an hour.
it made all the difference. and it's advice that i've held onto, and tried to share with everyone i meet. we hugged - we cried. it was touching, and she was impressed.
and i'm everlastingly grateful to her -
5 years and holding!!!!
