Hi,
This is an open apology to all of my connections and people I usually comment on, whether connections or not.
I haven't been on here that much lately and rather have both hands-full at the moment. My Aunt (pretty much our only relative other than her son, our cousin), who's been the heathiest person we've known for the last almost 86 years, isn't anymore.
She's fallen at least twice that she's told me about and with no family Dr. - she never needed one, we found her one and he'll be taking tests soon. CAT scan of the brain, Ultrasounds of neck and heart, and bloodwork, that I know of. We take her weekly to her Dr's appointments and I'm also cooking for her and my cousin and bringing food over, in hopes that she'll eat. She's not cooking anymore, or driving..... or lots of other things that she used to do. Her memory is totally different than it was less than a month ago - I call her daily and half the time she doesn't remember that I called. It's devastating. Please understand that while I have loads of your articles I want to read and comment on, it might be awhile - she comes first. Plus, Mark and I have both been sick, though we're better now.
So, I'm not on here as much as I was - I'll try, but there's just not much time. I miss you all and will continue to write and comment when time permits. I'm writing this as I'm cooking things to take to her on Wednesday - hopefully she'll eat?
Thank you all for your understanding. I haven't forgotten any of you - I miss you all. Though now I need to get a few things done and also call her as I haven't yet this morning.
This is the tip of what's going on, and we're doing the best that we can. I'll be back when I have a little time or off and on - this seems to be getting worse instead of better, but she's the ONLY relative we have, other than her son, our cousin, and we have to be there for him too. Mark and I love her so much - after Mom and Dad passed away, she's always been there for us both.
Hugs and thanks for your understanding - I know I have over 100+++ emails that I haven't answered. Please be patient with me and I'll try to get to them as soon as possible.
Hugs,
Marilyn
