You are a strong redhead - probably with a stubborn streak if I know you and because of that you probably won't experience the crash for sometime. I know what you are going through and had experienced something similar with my mother; however it turned out a bit differently. You and your family are lucky. Remember to breathe - that will keep you going. *hugs*Travel & Dive Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726948140601040484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-31099103612903889302014-01-05T20:44:16.291+01:002014-01-05T20:44:16.291+01:00DJan, I wish it had been the outdoor adventure typ...DJan, I wish it had been the outdoor adventure type instead of the hospital type! I miss my mountains! Hopefully next Sunday I'll be able to get out for the first time in 2+ months!<br />Now we're waiting for the hospital to call and say my mom can restart her physiotherapy as an outpatient, and we've got our fingers crossed waiting for my mom's appointment with a neurologist, he'll be the one to say if there will be a full recovery. Hope they don't make us wait to long!

A long road to recovery, it sounds like, but the possibility of full recovery is wondrous. Thank you for writing this and letting me know what's been going on in your life, even if it was not of the outdoor adventure type. Sending you all big virtual hugs. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-70235652513339223612014-01-05T14:00:13.695+01:002014-01-05T14:00:13.695+01:00Thanks guys!

I almost didn't write this post (several times), but writing is cathartic in its own way and putting words on (digital) paper frequently seems to help release one's inner demons... Hopefully my mom continues on a clear path to full recovery and we can close the door in this nightmare and look forward to the wonders 2014 has in store for us! Although... there will always be now that nagging fear that pops up whenever a parent shows another sign of physical problems... *sigh* Circle of life, right? Well it sucks!!! :o(CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-39104568600146356882014-01-05T11:43:10.195+01:002014-01-05T11:43:10.195+01:00When I saw your post pop up on my reader I opened ...When I saw your post pop up on my reader I opened it with relish to see what adventures you had been having during your blogging black out. How sad i was to read of your traumatic couple of months. Getting through each day when hope seemed to be fading away must have drained every ounce of your strength. I am delighted that the ending is one of joy and that you have much to celebrate in 2014.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-17562647394397690502014-01-05T10:05:19.047+01:002014-01-05T10:05:19.047+01:00What a wonderful piece!

(And this is coming from someone who jumped straight into teaching languages in a foreign country.)<br /><br />My dear, I truly hope that 2014 will prove to be less stressful than the past few weeks have been for you. Keep your chin up and keep on trekkin'. <br /><br />-BarbThe Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294653760778922184noreply@blogger.com
