Wednesday was another doctor, another bone density injection, another blood test, this time because of possible parathyroid issues. Not urgent, I hear. Better not be I don't have the bandwidth right now.
Home to rest, and Handsome Son visited. I made a batch of okay not great sugar cookies in his honor. Not quite up to it, but HS had no trouble with them.
He certainly acted handsome -- took my car through State inspection, checked and fixed the tire pressures, recalibrated to stop the tire alert showing. Then he attached the walker tray, newly arrived, agreed to various future tasks around my recovery, and generally made me proud. What a guy. Really stepping up.
Happy day everyone, I feel lucky today.

He is a wonderful son. You should be proud
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly doing well for me.
DeleteThe very thought of doctors and tests give me the chills. As you know, I've been suffering with them for the past two years. What a blessing to have your Handsome Son to help you during these trying times. He certainly deserves sugar cookies *smiles*. Take care and hugs.
ReplyDeleteYes, not easy times for you. And I'm grateful for his help.
DeleteYou raised him right! Sorry you have more medical issues.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to deal with them later, trying not to be too concerned now.
DeleteOur children can be most caring and helpful.
ReplyDeleteWhen they are, it's the best.
DeleteHandsome Son does sound wonderful. You did well. You deserve him. AND you are so lucky. Sorry about all the medical stuff. It can be so draining.
ReplyDeleteYou know plenty about medical stuff, too. He's doing a great job.
DeleteHave a restful day, replenish your reserves!
ReplyDeleteExactly. I feel all used up!
DeleteYou both sound ready for the journey ahead.
ReplyDeleteGetting there, anyway.
DeleteSometimes you just want to say "enough is enough" and handle one thing at a time. Rest!
ReplyDeleteIt's seems there are a lot of "but first" situations right now.
DeleteRelax and enjoy this period before the next busy one.
ReplyDeleteIt's feeling all busy with occasional breaks!
DeleteYou are indeed fortunate to have a son who is ready and willing to help out - and even better that he lives closeby. I sometimes wonder what will happen with us with both our kids being so far away.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you might move closer to one of them?
DeleteThe day might come when I'll have to do that, but I'm dreading it. It would likely mean moving to BC and that's not what I want to do. I have some really good friends here and would really hate to leave them.
DeleteIt is such a blessing to have a son who is there for you. What a sweetheart he is.
ReplyDeleteRest while you can. :)
Yes, it's not every son who's willing.
DeleteI'm glad you have a loving son stepping up to help you. That's wonderful for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is. I never forget how good that is.
DeleteIt is a tricky balance sometimes, isn't it? Needing help from our children but not wanting to be too much of a burden. It is a beautiful thing when they do step up and help us when we need it because sometimes we really, really do.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true, particularly when there's one only, with no one to hand it off to.
DeleteHandsome Son gets great points from me! Our guys are all far away -- or at least too far to pop in. So far, that's OK but one day we'll wish we were closer.
ReplyDeleteYou may want to think about that at some point.
DeleteA good son is often about a good mother. It has to be a huge comfort to know he's there for you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great comfort, yes. He's willing and good humored too, a bonus.
DeleteYou are so lucky to have your son close to you. Mine lives in Fl. I live in Or.
ReplyDeleteThat's so far. Hard to get to see him.
DeleteYour son is indeed a champion and so very helpful too, Boud, the cookies were a nice treat.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies weren't wonderful, but he said they were edible!
DeleteNow that is one helpful son good for you and him. I bet he loved the cookies.

He certainly didn't hold back. And he did a great job for me.
DeleteIt's wonderful to have help from a child. I feel guilty asking my children, but they show up cheerfully when asked.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's it. And just having his company is a great lift.
DeleteI did feel very lucky today. Productive. Finished the day up with emails to my congressmen.
ReplyDeleteGo you, Debby! I'm glad your day went well.
DeleteI have no idea what parathyroid is but I hope it isn't too serious. Mmm, sugar cookies.
ReplyDeleteRead on for good news!
DeleteHope you get some good rest and that bandwidth comes back.
ReplyDeleteIt will, a few more appointments to take care of. Then the surgery. And recovery. Then bandwidth will be right back.
DeleteSending good energy and vibes your way.
