Hello Friends – Thank you so much for all your sweet messages and comments. I’m happy to report that my mom was released from the hospital on Sunday and she’s home. She did have a partial hip replacement so she has a long road to recovery but with PT and patience hopefully she’ll be feeling stronger each day.
I’m so thankful for all the emotional support I’ve had from my husband and friends and family. I’m exhausted but just so grateful to be home. We’re still finding our routine with these new circumstances but just have to keep positive.
Now to shift over to a bit of book talk. My reading has been zero lately. Which is not at all like me at all and it’s not that I don’t want to read but I’ve had no time or energy. Aside from taking care of my mom, I’m also working so needless to say I’m exhausted. Again, I’m hoping that as we get settled into a new routine I will start to find pockets of time when I can catch up on reading and some self-care.
I have lots to tell you about like new books, book reviews and a bunch of other bookish things but I did want to say that the next post will be my end of year review and favorites. We can’t miss that post right? I love a yearly recap and do look forward to reading yours as well. So take care and I’ll be back with some book talk soon!
Take care Iliana – glad your mom has been released. Looking forward to your year end post. Happy New Year as well.
Ditto what Diane says.
I hope that 2022 is better.
Glad your mom is home and doing better. Hopefully now you’ll be able to catch your breath a bit. I wish you and your family all the best in 2022! 😀
I’m so sorry your mom had to have a partial hip replacement. I hope she does well with her PT. Be sure to ask for help and take care of yourself, too. Being a caregiver is very exhausting and it’s easy to keep pushing yourself when you need to step back and get some rest. I’m glad you have your husband there to help lighten the load. Big hugs to you, Iliana.
I am so glad you mom is out of the hospital now. I hope her recovery and physical therapy after her surgery go smoothly. My mom had to have hip replacement surgery a couple years ago, but I was too far away to help her with the recovery. Fortunately, she had a lot of friends who were able to step in and help. I am glad you have your husband to lean on. Make sure you take care of yourself too. It’s easy to get caught up helping others and neglect ourselves in the process. Sending hugs and lots of healing thoughts.
Sorry I missed your post – Sending prayers and happy thoughts your way for your mom’s speedy recovery. I know this is hard so please do take care of yourself as well.
Sorry to hear this and hope you have gotten some rest. I also have been dealing with my Mom’s health issues this year … so I completely know where you are. You need to be good to yourself and not worry too much about everything else. Take care.
