Visiting the MIL
Steve, Lexi and I went to Port St Lucie to see Steve's mom this weekend. To be honest, she wasn't looking very well. Ok, so she is in the hospital for a reason, but even considering that, she wasn't looking well. One of the main issues is constipation. She had gone 15 days without a movement, so they pumped her full of softeners and she was struggling. They also had accidentally given her Morphine, which she is allergic to. She was weak, nauseous, and throwing up. As far as treatment goes, they are giving her radiation once a day hoping that it will minimize some of the tumors that are causing the horrible back pain. Plus, they are working on the various blood clots they found. Nobody knows when she'll be released.
She took an hour nap while we were there, so we went on a walk with Steve's dad and brother, Jeff. There is a big river right behind the hospital. Steve's dad seemed more sentimental than ever. He was extra happy to see us. After 40 years of marriage, he is struggling to do things she always took care of like cooking, cleaning, and general house stuff. Actually, Jeff is currently living with them. I won't make a comment on my thoughts about that, but he has been helping out around the house. He is probably even keeping Steve's dad company. Who knows how these things are supposed to go?

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
