Just an update

Comment Published at 12:3712:378 comments8 comments59 Visits59 VisitsReport

Hello everyone.  Sorry for not visiting lounges or sending emails.  I hop on nearly every day and read blogs and check up on everyone but usually don't comment.  Am here in spirit at least. 

Well, Harrison is back to his normal mischevious self.  Eating is much better!  Just have to be creative and keep trying things for him to eat.  His sleeping has been great so no complaints there.  He is loving my family because they are showering him with attention.  We had a dinner here the other night and I don't think I saw him most of the night.  Too busy with Aunts and Uncles and cousins to worry about me.  It was heaven! 

Dean is feeling better which is great.  I had a few days of crampy tummy but seem to be over that.  Getting back to normal which has been great. 

Grandma is doing really well.  She seems to be recovering from the stroke quickly.  The facial droop is almost gone and her speech is pretty much back to normal.  She still has significant weakness on the left side but the physio has said that she is improving.  She has carers with her 24/7, but she had that before.  And she is starting to treat them like servants again so that is a good thing, lol.

We are heading off to Mexico on Sat and I can't wait!  I dont' know if the weather is going to be much better than it is here but will be nice to be away. 

The other day it snowed on the mountains behind my dad's place...well Tucson is surrounded by 4 mountain ranges, this one is to the north of the city.  Tried to upload photos but it won't let me!  Darn.  Will try again later maybe. 

Also went up to see the cactus that we planted as a memorial to my mother after she died.  When I lived here, I would go up every year birthday and mothers day.  And when I came last year when Harrison was 3 months.  Every time I go, I try to take pictures to see the growth of the cacuts.  It looks great.  Was nice to see it again.

So at the moment, it is about 1340 on Thursday.  Harrison is sleeping and Dean is out with my dad getting stuff ready for the trip to Mexico.  Buying Pesos and getting Mexican insurance for the car.  We are having a great time.  And time is going way too quickly.

Take care all and will be back after our trip to Mexico.

Bye-Angela

Hi gorgeous - just a quick note to touch base... I'm loving the emails when you have time, and just to confirm - it is quite boring without you around : ( 

I hope that you are managing to enjoy the time you have with your family, and I am sure that you are making the best of it.  Get yourself settled in, in Perth and maybe I will do a runner and come and sink a few jugs of sangrias with you... xox

Hehe.  Isnt' that the truth.

Mexico will be a blast.  Will have a cervesa for all of you!  Or would you prefer a margarita?  Or shot of tequilla?  Or all 3....

Re: Just an update

Angela, have a fantastic trip to Mexico, I've only been across the border to teeawana (spelling?) anyway it was fab and I am so jealous that your going would love to have seen more than what I did...

Glad your family is feeling better and that Harrison is loving being with family..  What a great idea to have  a cactus as a memorial thing, I love cactuses, they can be so pretty when they flower.

Take care - Angie

Re: Just an update

Thanks Angie, we are going to Puerto Penasco.  It is a nice spot and only a short 4.5 hour drive from Tucson.  Have never been to Tijuana which is across the border from San Diego but have been to Nogales which is across the border from Nogales Arizona.  Border towns are pretty much the same, althought Tijuana is much bigger.

The cactus is lovely.  It is a sahuaro cactus which was my mom's favorite.

Take care and will share the tales when I return.
