Frozen in Atlanta

This photo says a bit of how we have been in Atlanta.

It has not melted any, since it began.

We have frozen roads, so  we had to hunker down!

Thankfully the Sun is coming out today :):):)

Milkshakes watching Snow

Today

Yes I am crazy!  I do love drinking a milkshake (with protein powder) daily.

After Christmas, my sisters will keep me warm. They gave me an electric throw. 

Now I drink milkshakes while wrapped up warm :)

Well I do have slow digestion (gastroparesis), spelled it right since I play a doctor. 

I need to gain weight!   Before you wish you had that problem, it is no fun to eat when you are not hungry?? 

Too much info lately, about health challenges.  Just keeping it real, again....will try not to be boring?? (see I am full of ??'s)

We are frozen in Georgia today.   This is unique weather for us....in my short life anyway.

Brain Fog

Maggie Valley, NC

I have been in a brain fog this week.   It seems to be common with MS?  It is frustrating when processing your thoughts is not easy.  Dad feels this way also with a stroke....

Feeling just a bit foggy like these photos.  These are a flashback to when Mom and Dad would take us to see the Great Smoky Mountains.  When I saw these photos at Joyful Reflections  I asked Betsy if I could borrow them.

Feeling Foggy

Many know all the changes I have been going through, if you read this blog.   Maybe all this causes brain fog! 

I can use the MS as an excuse but believe it is just life?  I am not the only one facing tough life situations...Fortunately the fog does lift.

This too shall pass!

I'm Wore Out, Kim....

I'm wore out.  Dad said this to me earlier this week, as he lay in the hospital bed.  I felt tearful.

The Docs finally discovered he had a small stroke.

It is so sad to see him make the effort to process his thoughts, get words out clearly.   Fortunately he is his normal self, half the time .     

I do ponder when the body gets so exhausted, how to keep the will?

When we struggle with life and feel wore out, I personally believe:

 ^{Isaiah 40:
31}But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Which One is the Patient?

original post 1/2/11
When I was sitting by Dad's bed in the hospital.... the Doc asked us ....which one is the patient? 

I pointed to Dad!

Dad has been in the hospital with COPD.   It has been a tough week for him.

Fortunately I have had my laptop!  

He will be released soon since he has improved.

As he struggles to breath, it reminds me....to be thankful of being able to breath effortlessly.
