I'm so tired of this horrible year - hurry up 2012!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Gold, Fair Oaks

 

December 26:   Just when we thought we were getting rid of this awful 2011, during which we’ve lost family members and adored pets, and had other family crises, we just got hit again.

I haven’t gotten very much work done on my business today because Jon’s brother called to tell us that Jon’s 87 year old mom had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital and it appears that she had a stroke, and she seems to have some bleeding on the brain.

They have taken lots of tests and Jerome and D.J. Martin - Jon's parentsscans, and we have been camped by the phone waiting to find out more in bits and pieces as the doctors know more.  And we have been doing some contingency planning, depending on how this turns out. 

Either Jon and I or just Jon will be heading down to San Luis Obispo to be with his dad.  We’re waiting to hear what the doctors think. Then depending on what we learn or what happens, we’ll know what to do.

Because of our remaining cats, we can’t both be gone for more than two nights, and because Charlie is our oldest cat and is still grieving the loss of Oscar, he needs extra attention right now.  So if we both go, we will likely have to take two cars so I can come back to care for the cats and other things that can’t wait more than a couple of days.

There are a dozen scenarios racing through our heads today, and we are trying to ready ourselves for whatever comes up.  I might end up moving down there for a couple of months to stay with his dad, and we are also considering moving his dad up to live with us if Mom passes.

It’s all too much to take in and too uncertain to make any decisions, so we don’t yet know if we will both be heading down there tonight or just Jon for now. It's a 5+ hour drive from our house, so we have to figure out the logistics before jumping in the car to head down, which is our initial impulse.

I will sure be glad when 2011 is over with!  This has been a horrible year to live through.  2012 is bound to be better!

I understand about the animals and having to take care of them. It sounds like you have been hit really hard. I really do hope that things will get better for you. Use 2012 as a benchmark and put positive energy and prayer forward.

HERE'S TO A GREAT 2012. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Susan ~ I hear you loud and clear.  I need 2011 to end & 2012 to get here quickly.  I lost my mom, my aunt, 3 good friends and my dog all since March and my dad was diagnosed with melanoma & lymphoma and just last week had a heart attack.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you & your family.

Your 2011 sounds like my 2004 when both of my parents passed away and my brother narrowly escaped death in the Tsunami in Thailand. Sorry you had a crappy year, 2012 must look REALLY good right now.

Thank you all for your comments and wishes, and thanks too for the friends who have called me the last few days.  Unfortunately, the update on Jon's mom is that she had a massive stroke, and will not wake from her coma.  They expect she will be gone at any time.

Meanwhile, my doctor called me today to tell me that my recent tests showed an extremely high level of cholesterol - a problem I have never had before.  Apparently stress can make cholesterol levels increase.  I already watch the cholesterol levels in what I eat, but will see what I can do to improve that.  I need to increase my exercise, but I have plans for that after the first.
