Friday has rolled around again and that means it is time for Friday Cocktails! I swear I can’t seem to get this weekly thing together. I wish y’all could spend a day with me and see all of the things I have on my plate at the moment. I plan each day but I will admit that after spending hours in town with various appointments I am wiped out when I get home. Having a chronic illness sucks the big the one! Let me update y’all on where we are at this week and where we are going.
I spent time this morning prepping these article for the next month. That way I just have to come in add a little bit of stuff and then hit publish. it was something that I just needed to get done. I will be prepping many more articles over the weekend as well. It is a great way to help me stay on track. I just haven’t had the energy to do it lately.
Health Update
Ma’s cancer surgery went well. The doctor thinks that he got it all and we are hopeful. On Monday we spent the entire afternoon in the emergency room though because she had a temperature of 105 and her doctor wanted her to go. Everything turned out fine and they were able to bring her fever down. She is doing great today and her stitches from another surgery came out yesterday.
My uncle got his MRI on Wednesday and it was an experience that I don’t want to repeat. the hospital practically asked for my dna in order to take him in there. Then registration was towards the back rather than the front which means I had to walk way more than I needed to. We have to go to the dermatologist the last day of the month about his psoriasis and then the cardiologist and vascular surgeon to find out if he needs a bypass or not. After that it is to the brain and spine surgeon to find out what needs to be done about his back.
If that’s not enough! I had a day this week where I moved from green to yellow on my symptom checker (I promise I will do a post about this) and ended up going over to see my cardiologist. He ordered blood work and then I have a full day at the heart clinic in two weeks. I am scheduled to get a ECC, a carotid artery ultrasound, a stress test, and get a holster monitor put on that I have to wear for a week. Yeah, it has been a lot. Hopefully everything will be fine but we are taking it one day at a time.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Next week I have a dentist appointment and plan to do some cleaning around the house.
Next week I volunteer at a local Free Thrift Center and do this every week. I really enjoy it being with a group of women and helping out now that I am retired!
I plan to start my spring cleaning a little bit early this year, and in my free time, I plan to read and binge-watch my favorite shows or hopefully finding a new to me series to enjoy. As always, thank you for the giveaway and have a great weekend
My life seems to be running the same as yours, too much on my plate to really plan anything but running to doctor’s appointments for others this coming week and hopefully somewhere in there get one of mine scheduled! I sure hope everything continues to go well with your mom, your uncle’s health comes together in a a good way and that everything is A-okay with you! Have a relaxing and fantastic weekend!
I have a bunch of paperwork that has to get done. After that, I am hoping to take a day to reset and relax.
I don’t have any plans other than cleaning and going to dialysis.
i need to get my house cleaned up
I am tired after reading your schedule. I wish you the best in all your trials and tribulations.
I do plan to go swimming on Sunday and Thursday and pick up groceries after swimming on Sunday.
We are getting snow the first 3 days of the week and highs in the single digits so I will be staying home.
My parents are coming into town to stay a couple nights next week. I’m hoping to show them around a bit.
I have been working on decluttering and organizing my basement so I will continue to work on that.
Not a lot of plans for next week.
Primarily volunteering and a couple of errands.
I guess just to get through it and one week closer to spring, lol. Actually I am planning out my gardens and which seeds to start next week.
Work, work, and more work.
I plan on homeschooling my kids like usual and getting my youngest a hair cut!
A doctor appointment, ordering new glasses and a few days visiting with my friend
Let’s see next week I have a dental appointment and also need to do some birthday shopping for my best friend.
Next week will be full of running errands and cleaning. No fun!
This is a week of vacation – so lots of rest and catching up on chores (unfortunately)
No set plans for the week.
date night at a brewery with a couple of friends
I got commissioned to draw a dog portrait so next week I will be busy drawing!
I plan on cleaning up the house.
Next week, I don’t have a lot on the calendar. My niece’s birthday is next week, and I have some cleaning up to do around the house. But mostly I’ll just be enjoying spending time with my hubby, since he may be traveling the week after that.
This week was just more of the same! I hope everyone had an amazing week. And I hope you were able to get a few moments to yourself Rita!
