Update

Just an update on what's going on in my life.

One week ago today I fell down the stairs, spent 6 hours in the Emergency Room, and ended up with 2 broken ribs, # 11 and 12.   I also fractured the transverse processes of L 1, 2 and 3.

It's been a tough week.  

When I was in the ER, I was supposed to be upstairs visiting my dear friend, who has been battling Rheumatoid lung for months.

While I was in the ER, I got the call that she had died.  

Thankfully, another friend had taken my place as soon as I called her and told her of my own dilemma.  But still, I was crushed.  I wanted to be with her.  

Luckily, I had gone to see her the night before, and we talked about death, and life, and her situation.   

Yesterday I got a call, from Lois's sister.  Lois had fallen, and the Memory Care Unit that she has been in  for two years, would not accept her back, as she can't really walk.  So now she is in the nursing home.

My head is spinning, my heart is hurting, and my body is suffering from the insult of tossing myself down the stairs.

The positive side of all this is that I have amazing daughters, and amazing friends.  They have been just lovely, and kind, and have gotten me through this, as I am unable to manage a huge list of things.

Sorry this is so short, but I just don't have much more to offer.

I will be back, and do better.
