Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

[addy]

Susan, how wonderful to hear from you. Cruising the Seas for Christmas sounds divine, dear friend. I know what you mean about no more grand Christmas trees and celebrations, Imstruggling with that this year. I wasn't ready, I think. Another loss as we get older.

I'm glad Ellen and Ryan will be able to celebrate with you before you leave for Florida. Hubby keeps looking at condos there but my mom is is on her eight or ninth life, you are so right. This transport van has given that to her, the change is amazing. The care staff told me she is here because of me, I dont think I should take that credit. The director was talking hospice and then I found this transport van and the ball game changed. She will be 92 in March. My brother and sister in law can't understand why I keep trying, they refuse to take her out,
but the battle for me is like Zoe, I try and fight until they tell me no more.

Send the pink bubble wrap to my hubby, he has acute sciatica ans will have an MRI Tuesday. He can't walk, sit or lie down, it has been one heck of a week!

I did not know you fell, I hope you really are better now. Be careful you don't fall on the boat!

Kisses to you and Bailey. Koko is attached to my side as well. We are so blessed to have them.

Merry Chrustmas Sus, I love you too.

We stopped doing the grand tree, okay, so we do the tree, but we just don't have it stuffed with as many gifts and all in recent years, but with a new little grandbaby on the way I have a feeling that we'll be back to all out for christmas in no time. Never say never, if and when Ryan you have a grandkids that want to be at grandma's and grandpas for christmas, you might be putting that tree up again in Florida this time. LOL Never know what the future holds but for now enjoy the cruising the high seas life and every adventure that comes your way. I bet it will be wonderful!

How wonderful that your mom has perked up now with being able to travel again Addy. What I wouldn't give to still have my mom and dad around to just say hello to again. I can see why you won't give up, you aren't that person. You're the one who will be there through thick and thin and make every moment as wonderful as possible. I like that person btw. It's not everyone cup of tea as they say but those that it is, they are this worlds angels.

Big hugs, love

Thank you, Sharlene, it is hard to juggle it all. I think with a new grandchild on the way, Chrustmas will change in a BIG way a at your house , aww the memories of Christmas Past. Grandchildren are such a gift.

And my gift comes home next week, I hate to see my luggage

Kate should be home now. Hope she enjoyed her trip, minus the scares she went though in Paris.

We just went to BC last weekend for our other grandsons birthday. Great time.

Yowser, it is already changing things as we are all now baby focused here. LOL It will be fun to have a gift so close by!

hugs, hope you are enjoying the holiday season!

Hey Shalene, she came home Friday night. I held onto her for a good five minutes, could not let go. Cried myself to sleep, tears of relief, such a wave of relief swept through me, Idid not realize I was holding all that in. She flew Spain to Charles De Gaulle to Chicago. I knew the odds of something happening to the plane were zip but I still was a nervous illogical nervous wreck.

Grandkids are sooooo much fun. You have so much to look forward to, they are such a gift. Enjoy as much as you can, savor every minute of planning and when the baby arrives, yahoo

Hubby is still out of commission with his back. He started on Gabapentin, funny because I knew all the drugs the specialist discussed only because of dogs!

What an education from the forum.

Happy, Merry, Ho, Ho, Ho

Oh that is funny about the meds for your hubby's back. It's true, that things come up in general and I'll just throw something out because it comes up on the forum here. Amazing what we learn on here.

I hope you had a good Christmas.

Think we might even be getting winter heading this way soon. eek

Hugs
