StranGe Day

By Deacon Blues

· 450 views

A little drained this evening....hell, I'm beat.

 

The drive up to my mom's had a little more in it than I was expecting. After two days sans pain killers, I was back on that horse this evening. The boys were all jacked, too, so tending them has been...challenging.

 

My dad's being gone is real this trip. I guess I was so in the event a couple weeks back, I didn't have a chance to miss him. Well...it's real. Not a lot more can be said.

 

Tomorrow is lawyer and legal crap day. I've killed myself getting dad's estate stuff rolling, but I'll bet the ranch some lawyer will want three bills an hour to tell me I did it wrong and use all the work I did anyway.

 

I guess I'm a little jaded tonight. My midsection looks like a poor-man's Frankenstein's monster (and, tonight, feels like it looks). Five days after the fact, and I'm feeling a little set back.

 

Only had a little over 800 calories today. Not for lack of desire - just plumb didn't have time. Can't keep that up. That'll really screw the pooch.

 

Could uses few props tonight. Have a good thought if you have a minute.

    So sorry for your loss... it sounds like a overwhelming time for you... recovering from surgery is difficult enough without the added stress.. You know why you had the surgery and how important it will be to your boys to have you around.. Everything will be fine with time.. losing your loved one's is one of the hardest things one can go through.. we have lost two children and a son in law in about 5 years time so I speak from experience... Take care of yourself first , the rest will follow. You are in my prayers...

    It's never easy to lose someone you love. You are very strong to be going through all this surgical stuff and taking care of your family. I know it is hard to think about taking care of yourself when you are in the middle of so many things and emotions.

    I have been there and for me after it's all said and done and my adrenalin finally wears off I usually crash and end up sick in one way or another.

    So if you can find a moment, give yourself some love and understanding. Try to accept the help of others if it's offered, and get some rest as you are able.

    My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you.
