Life here is bananas.
My mom had shoulder surgery a year ago, and they hadn't let her go back to work until this month. She can't lift anything over 10 lbs, and has lots of pain still with her left side. Doing everyday things is pretty tough, and takes her so much longer to do them. It's hard for her to even do things like laundry, dishes, and sewing. It's pretty heartbreaking to watch her not be able to sew, because that is her most favorite thing to do.
In December, about. A week before Opal was born, my papa was driving and blacked out (from his heart medication) behind the wheel. His truck went into a tree and was totaled. Had he been in a smaller vehicle, he wouldn't be here today.
Well, he's been rehabilitating his new hip and learning to walk again since then.. Up until 2 weeks ago.
He was using his walker to walk in front of the house and lost balance, fell, and fractured the same hip again.
SO, now he is back in a rehabilitation facility learning to walk again.
And me? I'm here helping my mom with housekeeping, watching my younger sister, and waiting for papa to return home. Once he is home I will taking him to his physical therapy and doctors appointments at the Veteran's hospital.
Hopefully things here will be back to normal before I leave again. I really hate being away knowing that my mom and sister need my help.
