Not just a little.
A. LOT.
As you know MOM WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, but was discharged the other day.
However, that doesn’t mean that she’s actually gotten any better. In fact – we’re just trying to hang on until we can see the surgeon on Monday.
Because she needs constant 24-7 care, I haven’t slept more than 3-4 hours at a time. I’ve also met with an entire visiting medical staff that’s going to be coming to our home to help with her care. Nurse, Aid, Occupational and Physical Therapists.
Don’t get me wrong, I will do all that I can to keep her comfortable until we can actually get the confirmation that surgery is the way to go. [All indications are pointed in that direction.]
However, it means that I’m not able to leave her alone. EVER.
Harry was off work for the weekend, so this morning after doing a back-log of errands – I was able to get myself together long enough to RUN FOR A BIT. Don’t bother trying to follow the route – the GPS is completely wonky and I’m not changing it. We’ll just chalk it up to getting out there and blowing off some stress.
You know what?
It worked.
Not exactly the mileage I feel I should be putting up for my first 10k coming up in 15 days – but for now??
I will totally take the victory I felt after my run.

I saw your run keeper pop up today in real time I wanted to send you cheers but couldn't find a way. Did you use a different program last time? Cause if so, switch back so I can please cheer you on, please!!
Sorry -- the other *app* that sends CHEERS is Nike+, if you remember, that's the one I had a lot of issues with -- I basically use it when I run indoors.
If you comment on the post of Runkeeper -- I will still get it!!
Thank you!!
