Tuesday was mom's back surgery. She came through it well, according to the doctor. This sounds disgusting but he had to drill out part of the bone in the vertebrae that were pinching her nerve. She stayed in the hospital until Thursday afternoon. Now she is home and sounding stronger every day. But, she does have a long way to go. Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers!
Daughter is frustrated with the boyfriend, who is struggling with some issues of his own. But he seems unable to resist taking out his frustrations by cussing and yelling at her. He can be very negative at times. She's fast losing her patience with him, and if he continues as he has been, his time in her life may be short-lived. I like him, except for how he puts her down. I just listen when she vents and encourage her to be strong. Only she knows when enough is enough, and when that time comes, she'll be done. I pray for her to have the strength to do what she has to do.
Son is on spring break. If he had his way, he'd be on permanent spring break! He wants to make a living playing Xbox and making YouTube videos. More power to him if he can do it! But in the mean time, mean mom that I am, I make him go to school. And I can't help but shake my head and laugh when he yells at the game. I should record him sometime and play it back. I don't think he has any clue what he sounds like!
Tomorrow we are supposed to check on my father-in-law in the nursing home, and my recently widowed mother-in-law at her home. Word is that my father-in-law has been medicated more than he should be, but they are changing his meds, so we are hoping he will be better than earlier in the week when my sister-in-law visited him. He was so doped up that even he admitted that he didn't know what he was saying!
As for my mother-in-law, the issues we were dreading are starting already. Her late husband's kids are already showing up, trying to take things. Two of the sons showed up last weekend. When the oldest went outside, the other one told her that he was his dad's favorite son so he could and would take anything he wanted. He doesn't seem to get that some of the stuff he wants to take did not belong to his father! Today, that same son and a friend showed up unexpectedly at my mother-in-law's house and starting taking stuff. Scared her to death. Luckily, my brother-in-law apparently showed up shortly after that and is looking out for his mom. Hubby and I are afraid his mom is going to have to get a restraining order against the kids (these are adults!), which will only make things uglier. But we can't have them making threats to her all the time. So if we go visit tomorrow, we will be discussing options with her. Why do people have to be so nasty?
Watch out for fools on Monday! Hopefully April has better things in store for us than March did!
