Mom's Home!!!

Well mom came home late this afternoon! She's very sore BUT doing awesome. She is up walking around slowly and finally eating food. The doctors said she can run in 2 weeks which means I HAVE MY RUNNING PARTNER BACK! I'm so excited for her. We obviously don't like to see her in pain, but it could have been a lot worse. Surgery went better than expected!

It's been a very rough week and I've cried everyday. I'm depressed about my weight and the way I'm looking lately. I think it's just an emotional time. And then with mom, I was a basket case. I just couldn't deal with it all. And on top of everything my boyfriend, well as of today my ex-boyfriend, never came down. I wanted him here, and he never offered until Tuesday (mom was in hospital since Friday). But Tuesday I was working all day. And then his MOM texted me the other day to tell me not to be mad at her son because she told him he was wrong for not coming down. Hello he's a grown man and it's a relationship between me and him. I'm so hurt and upset by him. And then he ended it today because he claims we live too far apart (45 minutes easy fast drive) and he doesn't like driving on the parkway. UMMM slap in my face!!! And he could of just waited a few more days considering he knows how I haven't slept and stopped crying. Grr there's so much more I want to get out, but I will be writing for days then lol.

So to sum it up mom's getting better and I'm single again. It's probably for the best though. I need someone older anyway. I like going out and having fun, not sitting in the house all day/night watching movies. I'm only young once ;).

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR CONCERNS AND PRAYERS ABOUT MOM. IT WAS A VERY SCARY WEEK. WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED HER, WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE WORST. WE WERE VERY SCARED AND SO WAS MOM. BUT WHEN THEY WENT IN TO THE SURGERY, THEY REALIZED THEY MISDIAGNOSED HER AND IT WAS A MUCH EASIER SURGERY. SHE HAS 4 INCISIONS THAT ARE SMALL AND WILL HEAL NICELY. AND MOM IS GOING TO BE BACK TO NORMAL SOON BECAUSE SHE IS STRONG AND IS A FIGHTER!! THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE!!

Christmas Eve in the Hospital

On Friday, I took mom to the ER for a cat scan and they admitted her. Her white blood count was up to 19,00 which is just way to high, showing she had an infection. Also, they diagnosed her with diverticulitus. The antibiotics haven't worked. They said if the cat scan from Monday showed improvement she'd be home.

Well bad news... mom hasn't gotten any better. They scheduled her for surgery today at noon. I'm a nervous wreck; I just want it all to be ok. I wish it was me instead of her :(. I want her back to normal. I miss her so much!!

First, they are going to try to go through her belly button and drain the puss pockets. If all goes well, she's done and will be home tomorrow. If not, he will make an incision and actually remove the "bad" pieces. She's going to be drugged up all day. I feel so awful! I just want it all to be ok. It's been a very tough week and will be a tough Christmas. If he has to make the incision (let's pray not) she won't be home for like 3 days. I wish there was something I could do.

Right now, I'm trying to be strong. It's not easy though :(. My 3 close friends have been beyond supportive, and even came up to visit her! One of my close friends is coming up today on Christmas Eve!! I told her no, but she insisted. Secretly, I want her there but I wouldn't tell her that because it's the holidays. It'll be good support to see her for a few.

Please pray for mom that all goes well!!!!!!!!

When is this bad luck going to end?

So besides everything with my mom, I was on my way to class yesterday and get a call from my mom. I can tell in her voice she wasn't right. Got a call from my brother's school that he broke his wrist. Mom can't drive because she's in a lot of pain and can't sit for long. So I turned around picked him up, then got her and we went to the ER. Sure enough, it was broke. Thankfully, it's a clean break. He has a cast on for 4-6 weeks. I feel so bad for him! They were in gym class playing indoor soccer, and one of the kids pushed him into the wall. They are way to rough. He's not in so much pain, but he can't get comfortable to sleep.



Now, mom was suppose to stay resting and no stress. Yesterday caused her so much stress, and she's feeling worse today. So I'm taking her back to the doctor's. I feel awful. This entire week has just been one thing after another.



Hopefully everyone will get better soon!


On a happier note, I have been having a few awesome runs lately! I am so glad and I can't wait for mom to get back to running with me. It's snowing a lot here!!!! We're suppose to get 3-6 inches and then it's going to freeze. Tomorrow is a high of 29* ahhH!!!!



The dogs love playing in the snow! My puppy especially is so cute. She hits it and throws it in her face. Well I'm off for now! School is done til January 23rd woahhhhhhh!!


Enjoy your day everyone!

Happy Hump Day!

Hey all!! So for those of you who don't know, me and my family were on an episode of Wife Swap. We were one of the first ones to air. It's the Stallone/Ghani episode AND it will be repeating MONDAY DEC 15th @ 4PM on Lifetime! This was filmed 6 years ago, and airred 4 years ago. We all look totally different now! Several things on the show are UNTRUE or blown out of proportion. For example, I do NOT get breakfast in bed. They told mom to bring up my food since I was running late, and they turned it into me being spoiled. But anyways, it was a fun experience that I'll never do again. We were in several magazines, newspaper articles, radio stations, and talk shows. We still get recognized to this day, and I'm not going to lie, it's kind of cool! Here is an updated family picture:

Besides that, I am racing on Saturday without mom :(. We have a holiday party at my house every year for my dad's work and she has a lot to do so she won't be running. But I'll help her before and after. It's not going to be the same without her.

On another note, mom has to go for some testings. I am so nervous. She has been having a lot of pain in her uterus and is not herself. I am really a nervous wreck, but I just keep thinking/praying it's nothing. Or that it's something stupid that can easily be taken care of with medicine. So please please wish for the best!!

Thanks everyone for all of your support!!

Hey all! So I did the stupidest thing last night. I was letting my puppy out in the backyard and I walked her down the deck steps because she wouldn't go down. As I was walking back up, I thought I got to the top of the deck, but apparently there was another step and I walked right into it and it was in line with right above my ankle. It hurt(s) so badly!!!!!! Now, it's got a nice little bump and is bruised. I was teaching class tonight, and it hurt doing some of the moves. UGH! Just my luck. I have to teach in the morning, and was hoping to get a run in so I need it to cooperate.

I have the Reindeer Romp 5k race on Sunday with mom and I'm so excited because it's such a fun race!!! I'm hoping for a decent time, but anything in the 25's or 26's I'll be happy with since my running is not where it was last year. So far, our distance runs have been going great and we're keeping them at a faster pace then last year during marathon training. We will make a decision about running Country Music Marathon by the end of the month. Since it's going to be so expensive travel wise, we just want to make sure that we can keep increasing the distance with no problems.

Tuesday night, Joe took me to NYC and we saw the Rockettes. It was so much fun, but freezing!! The show was great; I wish I could dance/kick like the Rockettes.

I have less than 2 weeks left of school and I'm so happy! I hated this semester with a passion ugh. I did very well though in all my classes, so I'm thrilled. Well hope you all have a good weekend :)
