I'm finally home after more then three weeks.

[pattrose]

I feel like I've been gone forever. I missed all of my fandom pals and I missed my family here in town. My mom is doing fairly well. Not great, but she just had heart surgery and also has congestive heart failure, so what more can I expect. She told me today she's bored out of her mind. She hates being this weak and not able to go places and do things by herself anymore. There will be a lot of changes made. Poor thing. She's going on 85 and my dad who takes care of her right now is 87. So they miss me being there, taking care of them. I couldn't stay any longer. Three weeks is a long, long time to stay away from your husband and family. My puppy didn't remember me. She didn't hate me or anything, but there wasn't that bond there like there was before. Things changed in both households. I just wanted to let you know that she's home and doing fairly well. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers if you think of it. Thank you, everyone for your support. It helped a great deal.

Hugs,

Patt

Hope things settle down and your mom will get her strength back.

Three weeks is a long time to a puppy, but you can bond again. In a week, she'll be your little girl once more.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I loved the way we bonded and now she prefers everyone else in the house. But I'm hoping this will change as time goes on. Love your icon. :) I also hope to hear that mom gets some of the stength back. She's not much of a tv person, so watching tv every night is driving her bonkers. Poor thing.

[grey853.livejournal.com]

TV is enough to drive anyone bonkers these days. If she doesn't have the eyesight to read, can she listen to books on tape? That might distract her some.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

She's going blind, so she decided to prepare. She has tons of books on CD and my sister brought her a really nice portable CD player, so she can listen. She was tickled to death. But for right now, she's still reading, so that's good. She loves her Kindle.

[grey853.livejournal.com]

I'm glad she can still read and use the Kindle. The books on tape are a nice back up.

[scherwood]

I'll keep her in my prayers. ((hugs))

and remember to take care of yourself too! *love*

My hubster is taking good care of me. He said I looked really tired when I got home, so he's been doing my odd jobs to help me out. :) He's on in a million.

[scherwood]

Good. :D *snuggle*

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Nicci.

YES! I'm relieve beyond words. I'm so glad she's all right everything considered! If she's already bored, than she's good :-)) Three weeks is a long time, but everything is going to set itself soon I'm sure. I'm so happy for you! *twirls*

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

I've missed everyone so much. Thank you for the kind thoughts. :) I needed them.

[cbtreks.livejournal.com]

I'm glad your mom's doing better and you've been able to come home. You're all in my prayers.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie. Now I have to get used to being home again. LOL An entirely different routine. LOL

Your mom and mine are about the same age and I bet we are too. It's awful seeing them laid so low by these health issues, isn't it? I always think of that as the trade off for having them so long, but still.

Sending you lots of love and hugs and prayers for her continued improvement. Cuddle that puppy and take care of you for a bit, okay? ♥

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks, A. I'm 59. So I'm lucky I still have a mom at this age. A lot of people lose theirs earlier. I have no reason to complain. I've been blessed to have them as long as we have. :)

[andeincascade.livejournal.com]

Heh. I knew we were close in age. I'm 59 too. For a couple more monthe. Eeeek!

[bluewolf458.livejournal.com]

Glad she's doing well, and if she's bored, that's a good sign! But you look after yourself too.

[krisserci5.livejournal.com]

Glad that yor're back and hope your mom continues to improve.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Kris. Every day should be better for her. :)

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Sheila. I'm catching up on my sleep. God, my house needs to be caught up on, but that can wait. I'm just glad to be home. :)

[carodee.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, Patt. I'm glad your mom's okay but I know it's great to be back home where you belong.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie. I'm soooooooo glad to be home. I missed my office. LOL LOL okay, I missed my hubster and my puppy too.

[aerianya.livejournal.com]

Welcome home!

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you and welcome home to you too. :)

[jessriley.livejournal.com]

Welcome back and good to hear the news about mum. And as for puppy, a couple of walks from you and you'll be best friends again in a flash. :0)

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The pup is doing much better today. She's almost like the old Lily. :) She's so sweet.

[tinnean.livejournal.com]

*hugs to you all*

And I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Tinn. It was a long three weeks, but at least I was there and able to help out.

[stargatesg1971.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, Patt! I'm glad to hear that your mom is doing better now. And you're right, parents are precious....take enjoyment in what time you have with them!

[pattrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I'm glad to be back. :) I've been working on four stargate Big Bang art projects and they are something else. LOL Why did I say I would do this???? Then next will be the Sentinel Big Bang. But we have some time for that. :)

[stargatesg1971.livejournal.com]

Your welcome.

LOL, I pondered on signing up for that too, but decided it against it due to the strains of RL right now. I look foward to seeing what you come up with.
