I'm back home now. That was a tough week. To watch my mom hurt was very hard. Each day will be better for mom, but it's going to be a long road. She is full of pride and has a hard time asking for help. She didn't have to ask me, I just did it for her. If her hands felt dry, she needed a bath, water, ice, meds anything I just did it. When I had to leave her last night at her home I cried so hard. I know if I'm there she will be taken care of, and I am worried about the next few weeks for her. I have to go back to work, but we are going down there on Thursday and Friday of this next week. I'm very tired, but I'm happy to be home. My brother and sister in law must be so fried as they were doing this several days before I got to L.A. We pulled together as a family and that felt really good. We all just pulled together and did whatever needed to be done for our sweet mom. Now that's family!
I'm going to try not to make this blog a story book, but I've got a few things to blog about...
I weighed in this morning after being gone a week. I lost 3 pounds this week. I am officially at 100 pounds lost since surgery! I want to jump up and down. I weighed 191.0 this morning. WOO-HOO.
While in California on Thursday Barb ( http://barbswls.blogspot.com/ ) and I went to the mall and went shopping. That was a blast! We went into the skinny girl stores and shopped for about 2 hours. We went into Nordtroms just to peak and look at the stuff we could not afford. She told me about these jeans called Not Your Daughters Jeans @ Nordtroms. (http://shop.nordstrom.com/C/6002614/0~2376776~2374325~6002614?origin=6003488_Select+a+Brand6003488)
There wonderful jeans that have a bit of extra stuff in them to help hold your tummy and butt in. I fit into a size 8! When I put them on both me and Barb jumped up and down like little girls. I was so excited, and she was excited for me. I got spoiled by Barb as she bought several new items of clothes. I spent money too so I got a lot of very cool new clothes. She even found time to go through her closet and give me some of her old clothes as she is now size small. She looks great. Thanks Barb for spoiling me! I got new shirts in large and mediums, shoes, 2 new pair of pants. Do you think I could leave Nordstroms without those jeans that were size 8. Heck no! I bought one pair and Barb and Scott bought me a pair. They are spendy jeans, but I love them and they say size 8 and I also got a size 10 too.
So that is my week.... Glad to be home, but worried about mom at the same time. I will be going back to her house to make sure things get done for her.
