I had made a New Year's resolution to post one blog post a day. And I had kept that promise up the end of February. That's when I got derailed. My life got in the way of my blogging. First, I got a part-time job at night that ate up much of my free time during the week. And then, three weeks ago, we were out with our family, celebrating my 18th wedding anniversary, when my mother-in-law had to be taken to the hospital after complaining of chest and back pains. Fast forward four days and she had open heart surgery to replace the aortic valve in her heart. (Now, she's part piggy...my husband thinks it's funny to snort at her occassionally. He even took away the bacon they gave her during her recovery, saying it was tanamount to cannibalism.) She then had an adverse reaction to the medications she was given, making her extremely unresponsive to what was going on around her and making the doctors think that there might be brain damage. Things were touch and go for several days. That did pass and now she's doing great, as long as she can ignore the invisible elephant that has taken up residency on her chest. My family definitely comes from strong stock!

Excellent post Heather..... love the photo!

Hi Heather - Sorry that life kinda got in the way of everything there for a while! But it sounds like everyone's in good spirits now, and we're happy your back playing in the Rain.
Don't you hate when that happens? The next thing you know, your life is taken over by really important things. I understand, but believe me, if I was in the middle of a contest, I would be blogging from the emergency room!
Heather,
I know you pain. I did so good through February and these last couple of weeks have just been lost. Best wishes for the health of your family.
Heather
All we can do is all we can do, and all we can do is enough.
Have a great day.
Good luck and success.

Oh Heather, cut yourself some slack with the life gets in the way, it does for all of us, with those blogging goals. I hope your mother in law continues to recover.

Coming back here sometimes is the best part of my day. It's great to have you back sweetie. Regards to the family. Love, C.
Thanks, Patrick.
Thank you, Judy. I'm glad to be able to be back splashing around in the Active Rain.
Stuff happens, right, Kathy? :)
Thanks, Suzanne. We're trudging through. With a big family comes big love as well as big responsibility. There's always something going on with someone.
Thanks, Lou. I'll keep that in mind. :)
Thank you, Gary. She is doing well with her recovery. I appreciate the good thoughts.
You're a doll, Miss C. Thanks alot. I've missed you.
Heather--Wow! Glad that your mother-in-law is doing well after the surgery. Hopefully that elephant leaves her house soon. Happy belated anniversary and many more. Next month Dave & I will celebrate twelve years. All wonderul years.
Good to see you again as I said in my previous comment.
Thanks, my dear, sweet Mary. Happy Anniversary to you both, too. You make a fantastic couple.
Thanks, Heather. I hope that we have the opportunity to meet the love of your life one of these trips. None planned to Idaho at this time. We are grounded for awhile.
