Oh god things are so much different and crazier than my last post. I'm now working 3rd shift again and absolutely loving it. It wasn't that hard for me to get used to the hours again, I actually sleep better now than when I was on 2nd shift. No more ambien for this girl! :) I have had more time for myself and am getting a lot more done than before. I get to see friends that I rarely saw before and am actually happy. I have also been able to see my family a lot more which I am truly happy about. One of my New year's resolutions was to spend more time with them and as of right now I am right on track with that one. (My 2 other resolutions are to take a daily vitamin and to not have any dirty dishes in the sink when I go to bed. I'm still working on that 3rd one)
Speaking of the fam dad has been doing better. He was having some cognitive issues, which worried us all a bit. Doctor said it was caused from his radiation that was almost a year ago. I don't believe that explanation at all...but if that's what the doc says there is not much we can do about it. Anywho, they started him on a medication that dementia patients would take and so far we have all seen a vast improvement. It's easier to hold a conversation with him and he is remembering to do the simply daily tasks he was having trouble with before. Fingers crossed he is on the road to recovery and there are no new setbacks. Mom is doing great. She is still seizure free which is AWESOME. It's hard to explain being able to finally let go of that constant worry/concern I had with her and her seizures. But I am finally accepting it and finally letting myself ease up. Now when she starts driving again will be another issue. She has been cleared to drive since January 2011 but has had no desire to. Which is understandable considering she had two major accidents in less than a year where she was lucky enough to walk away from (thank you grandma). When the time comes and she is ready she will do it, and if she decides she never wants to drive again we are all okay with that too.
Okay I guess that's enough for now. Blogs will be more frequent I promise, atleast one a week from here on out. Take care and olive juice.
