Today has become a brighter day

Well New Year's was sad I had fallen again that day and bruised my kidney and was very depressed.I got into a fight with my daughter Briana because she blamed me for passing out. She lashed out that if I would just sit down I wouldn't keep passing out and hurting myself. She then yelled she didn't feel sorry for me as I'm laying on the floor in agony because I had hurt my ribs again and landed on the legs of my wheelchair on my back and my back was killing me. I started yelling back that things needed to get done and I just can't stand just sitting here all the time looking at all the stuff laying around. The wash that needs to be done, the dusting, my boys still needed fed, needed drinks, Jordan needed his medicine. I know she is helping me all the time and Nicole helps when she isn't working but I'm not the type to just sit here. They just can't seem to understand how hard it is to have a really active mind but a body that doesn't cooperate. I know it's hard on them but how would they like to be in my shoes. It just sucks all around! After I finally got up off the floor I went to bed to take more pain medicine which sometimes I think is starting to become to much a part of my day! My body hurts all over from so much falling that I can't seem to move if I don't take something.
Anyway the girls left to go to the store to get snacks for New Years Eve and my mother in law who for years I couldn't get along with has now become one of my closest friends came over. She had called and heard how down I sounded and came over to cheer me up and while she was here threw in a turkey for us. After talking things out with her I can see Briana's side she has so much going on. Her husband has been deployed for the last 6 months he is finally coming home and she is so anxious to go home to CT to be with him but worried about leaving me here to cope with the the boys while my husband and Nicole work. We have spent every night for the last 6 months together her and Bella my granddaughter it's going to be hard to let them go.
So midnight came we were all here I cried I'm afraid what the New Year is going to bring, she cried her husband is God knows where, Nicole was upset she is still looking for that perfect guy, Keith got a little teary from all the stress he is under. And the boys being younger were all tucked in bed.
Yesterday I spent the whole day in bed and I had a lot of time to reflect and I've come to some conclusions. Yes, there is something wrong with me and we still aren't sure what. I'm not going to find out till I go to the Mayo Clinic on Feb 24Th so until then if the house isn't perfect oh well! I'm going to spend the next week enjoying the time that my granddaughter is still here living with me. Try to keep my ass on the couch and my spirits up. I'm lucky that I have a family that cares enough about me to yell at me to sit down and that I'm not alone with no one yelling at me to take of myself.
So to anyone that reads this I'm taking it one day at a time, one fall at a time and I'm going to start trying to enjoy one day at a time!

  2. I love you too Bran, and I might bitch about you but I'm going to miss you more than I can say! The house just won't be the same without you and Bella there!
