Loni's Life

By Wed Nov 1st, I got my ticket OUT of the ICU and into a regular room overnight.. my brother came and spent dinner and a little while with me in the new room.  Chicken fajitas were quite yummy.    Then we were just in a waiting game as to if I'd be released on Thur or Friday.    I think we were all kind of thinking Friday - after all they had just been in my brain on Monday... but turns out Dr. M was ready to set me loose on Thursday..  boy, when the hospital has the discharge orders, they are ready for you to Get Out.  Mama C was dealing with the funeral for Ms. Marie and honestly, I think Snarky was afraid my head would explode on the drive home.  My brother was working.  Fortunately, BFF was able to come fetch me at around lunch time in her brand new car..  i was still a little queasy.. and truthfully, with every bump in the road, the angry bees in my head were taking flight.. i was praying that we could just make it to my hou...

Happy Mother's Day to my "College Mom" Cheryl aka Mama C.   She adopted me late in life after we met through our Take Off Pounds Sensibly chapter.  She inspired me to return to college to finish my Bachelor's degree. She was there every step of the way through those last 14 classes to graduation. She's been there every step of the way as I work on my MBA in Project Management and through the emotionally tough days during my divorce. Even though by the calendar she is only old enough to be an older sister, she is every bit like having another Mama in my life and I am eternally blessed and grateful that she and her boys are family.
