It's almost the end of the week. Been a busy week with mom having walking pneumonia, which we didn't know until last week, after her chest x-ray....
And I' m also thankful, that the antibiotics are working, and she's getting plenty of rest. Of course the doctor wanted to put her in the hospital, but given her stubborn Italian nature, she wouldn't go... and I believe that's why the doctor wanted to put her in.. But I think being in her own environment helps, and as long as she does what the doctor says, then I know she'll be okay.
Then it's off to the blood doctor next week, just to make sure everything else is alright. But as you know she is 88 years old, and I'm so fortunate to have her, and that she hasn't been sick and this is the first, okay maybe the second time, since her blood pressure was so high two years ago, that a blood vessel broke in her eye, and she had to have surgery, and boy was that a trip.... but thank God she came through that fine...and now this present situation.....
And during the course of the last few weeks, my husband has also been going through his tests, generally more of a yearly physical, And my twin sister is also going through tests, which I feel will be okay as well, she also is going through a yearly physical.....
But I know it could be a lot worst, right?.. and because when you hear other people's problems, you thank God, that yours are not as bad,.... If we only knew what life has in store for us, but that's one of the mystery's of our existence, right?
So for me, I will continue to take this one day at a time, and will try not to imagine the worst, which is hard for me to do, since I can be very negative at times, but then again, I can also be very positive, so I guess it balances itself out... and I pray for the best outcome for my family, and of course, for all of you, who are going through similar situations.
The world is beautiful, but more then that, the people who make up this world are beautiful, and hopefully will continue to be....and I wish health, success and prosperity for everyone...
So for me, never giving up hope, will always be FOREVER YOUNG
