Hanging in there.
Its been quite a while since I last blogged.
Many developments here. Its not that I have been too busy but more that I have not had the mood to blog. Instead I concentrated on my Facebook entries.
My mom's health has taken a few bad turns this year.
She had her dengue episode in June requiring her to be in the ICU for days.
Latest is she has been having dizzy spells and a loss of balance. It has even given her a phobia about lying down. She prefers to sit, stand and walk even to the point of having swollen feet.
I had to drive her to the emergency room at the private hospital on one Friday night.
That Monday my eldest sister had to take her to the E&T specialist who confirmed an ear infection.
Her medications for thyroid is also probably at fault too.
She still has not fully recovered and it pains me to see her looking old and weak.
I am lucky that I have siblings with whom I can share all these sad painful experiences.
It really helps to know that u are not alone.
Sometimes I feel deep sadness but I always know that what I am going thru is nothing compared to the pain that is probably hurting some one else.
I am also pained by the happenings in my brother's marriage.
However, with the passing of time, we (as in my mom and me and even my brother) feel that there is a reason for all of this. God tests us all and we just need to be strong, not hurt any one with intention. The pain will be removed and there will be many good that will come soon enough.
I have to be optimistic and will be planning happy activities to counter the sad ones.
In fact I already get so much good outcomes from my FB connections already.
Blessings.

hi june!..i have come several times to see how you are doing and it pains me to hear that your mom is not doing well...i think that this is a heavy burden to bear and i know how you feel because for almost two weeks bernie and i and my sister grace were on the edge of despair about mom golden...she was so ill and it just seemed that we were so helpless in doing anything, other than taking her to the emergency and doctors and blood tests.
for the week almost that she couldn't swallow, she was missing her thyroid pills and her blood thinner and that is why she was so ill i think. she was down to 84 pounds but every time that bernie weighs her, she has been gaining little by little..she is 89 pounds now.
is you mom eating enough?
junie, the thing i said about your nephew being a good guy, i was thinking that it was the same one that went to see your little princess nieces dancing and the same one that went out for a meal with all you guys and your mom.
well rest assured, i will be praying for your mom dear friend...love terry
Hi Terry,
Sorry to hear about ur mom Golden. Hope she is better.
Like I wrote on my FB, time eases some pains yet creates others.
btw, I hope u will not mention anything about this blog on FB. This is where I write stuff that not meant for most of my IRL connections.
I try to keep them separate.
I am about to enter a very busy period at work so there'll prolly be lots of frustrated posts coming up!
Talk to u laters.
June
