Ended up not going, major highways closed

[Wendy]

Well my brother, Bruce stayed here last night to give his daughter the house for her 18th birthday. Bit of a risk, but hey did it. So we watched movies and had sup together here. We decided last night to wait till this morning to see how the roads were, and they did not get any better. OUR brother ( yeah I caught the way I wrote that we were going to see Bruce's twin in my last post, let me just say that I have a very fuzzy head right now, and yes still have fever, that's since June now, so sometimes my thoughts do not come out making any sence) from London called us early this morning and said what we already knew, that they had even closed parts of the 401 due to either accidents or conditions. We had already checked the road conditions on the net. So, it was not worth it to take any chances driving there. Then you have to worry about coming back too. We might go down next weekend, but take the train, leave Pebbles with one of my girls. Then we won't have to worry about the weather. The reason we were going down is to get together to have dinner to celebrate the boys birthday which was on the 29th of Nov., they turned 47. My SIL and I were also going to make a huge painting to put on my landing wall. We are going to do it in two parts, one to sit on top of the other, but continueing the theme. We were going to put our heads together and see what we can do.

And about this fever I continue to have, I don't know if it has anything to do with my CC, but we shall see. I think that something is not right, I am just so weak, not just tired, but weak. I am trying to eat healthy, but I know that I can greatly improve on that, and it is something that I am working on. But I have not have a temperature since I was around 23 or so. No matter what, didn't get one. And when I have taken my temp over that time, it would be more on the lower side, that seemed to be my usual. In June I started having red cheeks all the time, and this fuzzy, dizziness seemed to come on, and the weakness. I have always had periods where after I did too much, I would get overtired and sleep allot, but I always came out of it. Maybe not to run a marathon, but I could get going. Now I always have this heavy feeling in my upper back, like when you come down with a flu, you feel like you have the weight of the world on you, and just have to lay down. Anyway, don't mean to whine. If the results that they have show up something, then maybe it will be something we can work with, instead of doing nothing because we don't understand it. SO that is the way I am looking at it. The other thing is I KNOW that my cholesterol results will be still out of whack. Even taking a pill, it just doesn't come down. And I don't use anything except low fat, low cholesterol. We shall see what the numbers show.

As for here, for now I am staying in the house, it is cold outside. Even Pebbles wastes no time dilly dallying. The temperature has dropped and we are brasing for the snow that has yet to come. It is not going to be as bad as where my other brother lives, they tend to get more, but it will come.

I also have not heard from my step daughter as of yet, she didn't know what was going to happen with her mom, as they were taking her into surgery within 10 minutes and they didn't know everything yet. She has really had a rough time of it. She has some kind of rare disease that causes blood clots and strokes. She had two strokes last year, and one that required them to do brain surgery on her. But the surgery they had to do last night was to remove part of her colon. Or at least that is what April told me. For the past week she couldn't eat and lost 14 pounds, so they had put her into the hospital to run tests. Something must have happened though for them to do the emergency surgery. I am thinking she had a blockage or something since they were removing part of her colon, April said her large intestine. But with her moms condition this is not good. The thing with April is she tries to pretend she is okay, and its not bothering her. When in fact she is scared to death. And I don't know what I can do for her. Time will tell.

Time to go,

Gentle hugs
Wendy

Hugs Wendy!

Glad you didn't get started on your trip only to get caught in that snow storm. They are calling for 3-5 inches tonight and tomorrow here. It is cold (25 degrees) and I'm not going out of the house the rest of the weekend.

I sure hope the docs can find out what has been troubling you. It is awful not having any energy. I am in the same boat most times lately. I barely get through a day at work and then crash when I get home. It really sucks feeling like I'm 75 instead of 45 most days.

Hugs (gentle ones) to you!
Love,
Mars
