My son's place is on the market. They had their first open house Sunday. Things have come to a stand still for me. I am having a problem with my legs and it is very difficult for me to walk. Went to the doctors yesterday, got blood taken today (11 vials!!!!) and waiting on the results. I am also scheduled for a bone density test. We were to fly into Idaho sometime this month to begin the house search, but I don't think I will be able to do that until I can walk without pain. Hopefully the steroid prescribed will help eliminate the pain. As I said, getting old is h*ll. I am hoping that this will not delay my plans to move. Thank You for inquiring Nicole. I love on how you check on people and REALLY care about them the way you do. I always enjoy hearing from you.

Cadee @Cadee2719 , I'm so sorry to hear about your leg pain. You are on it and turning it over to health professionals who hopefully are better equipped to analyze these things than we are. Focus on yourself to get through this time and do anything that brings relief or comfort. Take your steroid, breathe, think positive, healing thoughts, and maybe even read some material with encouraging themes.

Your son is there and things seem to be moving in the right direction for him. You have hit a bump in the road. I'm thinking of you and sending prayers for healing and comfort.

I am home safe and sound. Yesterday had its

moments in the form of rain so hard I had to

pull over. I am happy I got there and back and

never got lost. A first for me!

Good morning all! I’m getting ready for the final

journey home to NJ. It took TEN hours to get to

W VA due to a horrible crash in KY. I am still just

exhausted. Hopefully it won’t take that long today.

I will return to the forum tomorrow 💜

Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 , I'm glad your Aetna call went well this time. It is always so satisfying to get a human who has answers and is able to help with issues!

That is a great end of life project that you are working on. It is an important thing to do and your daughter will thank you one day.

I just got back from my bereavement group and our facilitator shared a quote that might be resonate with at least some of our group.

"Grief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above ." --Jimmy Buffett

May he rest in peace.
