Well...it has been a while, we had a little roller coaster with my grandmother there for a few weeks, but I am glad to say that she is home and getting stronger every day.
The Docs said she should have gone into a nursing home for a short while for some rehab because she would need 24 hr care. That just wasn't Shirl's style! So home she came, and for the first week we are all taking turns and spending time with her. She is getting stronger every day, and this morning was already saying she would like to go up north!
I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, even at a time like this. It was a definite eye opener, and has also brought our family together more. I have always loved my aunts, but during this have gotten to spend more time with them and get to know them. My family is amazing, and strong, and I love them all.
The bad news in all of this is that my routine has been neglected over the past 2-3 weeks so I have only lost 2.7 more pounds. The good news however is that 98 percent of that time, I was still counting calories, and have not gained weight!
This morning I rode my bike to Grandma's house and let me tell ya...I'd been used to riding my bike EVERY DAY, and after 2 weeks of not riding, I was a huffing and a puffing up those little inclines. the good news is that on the ride home I barely had to pedal at all!!
Keep me in your thoughts! I'm still in this for the long haul!!
