Since we don't know what we had, we're treating this as something that could have been serious and taking better care of ourselves than if we'd thought this was just a cold. So, going slow and working my way to full activity to avoid relapses. <br /><br />I hope you had a wonderful couple of weeks with both of your kids at home.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-90859422256047890482022-01-04T07:51:54.080-08:002022-01-04T07:51:54.080-08:00Hi Live and Learn,

Very clever of you to wait to buy gifts until after Dec. 25 and save some money.<br /><br />We've saved all of our gifts to open until we can have our son and daughter-in-law here to celebrate with us. And I've noticed that a couple of new gifts have been added since Dec. 25. So, someone is doing some shopping (or else they're just really slow at wrapping). <br /><br />I'm glad that your family could make this work so well after your older sisters had started families of their own.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-34975992905944736802022-01-04T07:46:12.592-08:002022-01-04T07:46:12.592-08:00Hi Alice,

I hope you can get your mom home and that you can arrange for her care, as needed. May God give you strength to handle all of this.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-85086467324505820792022-01-04T05:27:46.347-08:002022-01-04T05:27:46.347-08:00Lili, I think you are doing the smart thing--gradu...Lili, I think you are doing the smart thing--gradually increasing your activity level. I'm sure your body still needs rest so be sure to listen to it when it says "enough, I'm tired!". I'm glad to hear that you and your family are on the mend and I like your husband's sense of humor about the gifts. Keep things simple while you are healing! I hope you get to enjoy your family this weekend.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-48342359936634990402022-01-04T05:23:58.851-08:002022-01-04T05:23:58.851-08:00Oh Alice.

Pelvis fractures are soooo painful--one of my least favorite things to have to do at work is get those patients up, especially the first time. My mom had a pelvic fracture and she was not a complainer, so when she was miserable, I knew it was horrible. Plus with all the covid worries, especially with as high as our positivity rates are right now, you have multiple layers of worries. I'm praying for health and healing for your family and for you to get some sleep.

You may not have all of your energy back, but you are still accomplishing a lot.<br /><br />When I was growing up and my older sisters were out of the house, we celebrated Christmas whenever everyone could be there. That was almost always after Christmas sometime. Until then, the only gifts we opened were ones from outside of the family. Surprisingly, no one minded. My allowance didn't go far those days, so I often shopped the after Christmas sales for gifts. A definite benefit to waiting.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-61721822790691966382022-01-04T04:45:33.292-08:002022-01-04T04:45:33.292-08:00So sorry Alice that you and your family are dealin...So sorry Alice that you and your family are dealing with so much right now. I had similar issues with parents and in-laws in the past and know how stressful it can be.

My parents both fell and mom fractured her pelvis in two places. From hospital to rehab center and now said rehab center has covid. She tested negative so I think I'm arranging for her to come home today. Mother in Law is having memory issues and some other ailments. We've spent a lot of time explaining things, repeating things, helping with medicine distribution, etc. So lots going on around here.<br />Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660543650879805736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-299345800800260152022-01-03T18:57:12.621-08:002022-01-03T18:57:12.621-08:00I'm so sorry you've been sick Cheryl.

The fatigue was the only thing that was unusual for me with a cold. I also wonder if maybe I was especially fatigued because I'd been working hard and not sleeping as much as I needed for several weeks. Who knows. We'll continue to be careful as well as take really good care of our health.<br />Have a good rest of your evening, Cheryl.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-73195728218335568432022-01-03T18:23:11.643-08:002022-01-03T18:23:11.643-08:00Glad you are feeling better.

Thank goodness negative and the second one negative also. Two years ago I would say I've got a cold, now can't be wrong. Was it covid?
