WHAT I'VE LEARNED FROM LIFE
Ive learned that although its hard to admit, Im secretly glad by parents are strict with me. (Age 14) Ive learned that silent company is often more healing than words of advice. (Age 24) Ive learned that the greater a persons sense of guilt, the greater the need to cast blame on others. (Age 16) Ive learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you miss them terribly after they die. (Age 53) Ive learned that making a living is not the same as making a life. (Age 58) Ive learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. Ive learned that whenever I decide something with kindness, I usually make the right decision. (Age 66)
Ive learned that when I have pains, I dont have to be one. (Age 82)
Ive learned that I still have a lot to learn. (Age 92)

Evening Ma, had a great Thanksgiving with all the Pro family at my sister's place in Washington. Just got done playing cards and watching a whole lot of football. My beloved Oregon State Beavers lost :-(
How were things your way?

How is your family doing? Glad you had a great Thanksgiving. Sorry about Oregon State.
Things are going one day at a time here....my Dad has taken a couple falls, one taking us to the ER. He has a walker, but it is a constant struggle to get him to use it. And pretty much all he wants to do is sleep. This creates a problem as he has been getting up between 4a and 5a and wandering and I’ve caught him making eggs for breakfast. Him cooking is fine, but not without someone as back up to make sure the burner is off, etc, and without his walker, and at 4 in the morning. He seems to think it’s a game at times when I ask him where is his walker.
And right now it is 5F. We only have a little bit of snow.

LOL! Recovery from surgery is going well, except for sleep...I can’t seem to manage much more than an hour or so at a time. I’ll ask my doc at my next appointment.

I don't get here much myself. I think it's called "life". Somedays it's just not possible.
It really is good to 'see' you tho. Did you have a 4 day weekend like the kids or did you take extra time? Hmmm...time...something that is scarce around here...lol.
Take care, my friend! *hugs*

I cooked a big t-day dinner. Ate early and then went shopping with the daughter, grandson, granddaughter and g-granddaughter...something I haven't done in many years. Luckily, living smalltown rural, the stores weren't crazy like you see on TV. It was quite pleasant.
Marines are doing well. 2 at 29 Palms the other was discharged 2 weeks ago. He's already having background check and all his whatever and will enter the acadamy for the sheriffs dept in March. So, everyone is happy! :)

...I cant seem to manage much more than an hour or so at a time.That is not a good side effect. Are you taking any medications? I don't know when your next appointment is but if it's after Monday, I wouldn't wait...I'd give the doc a call!

I’ve been off anything since the 11th. I’ve never been a good sleeper, but this is worse than normal. I think I might have some Alleve and that has been suggested. Maybe I’ll try that tonight.
My next appt is Dec 4, but I may call.

You don’t want sleep deprivation to set in as that will cause other problems. Taking something as Alleve, Motrin, Naproxin or anything just to get over that hump and perhaps at least a 4-5 hour span of sleep! Good luck!
