Hello friends,
in case you've wondered why my posts were still popping up but I was deserting you: yes, the posts were scheduled in advance, and yes, of course in the meantime I was dealing with yet another "situation". My dad fell at home and banged his head on a piece of furniture, which resulted in him being admitted to the hospital on Saturday morning. He's been in short-stay observation for three days, since the CAT scan revealed a small cerebral hemorrhage (8 mm/0,3 inches), which is especially bad for someone who takes anticoagulants (he underwent aortic valve replacement surgery many years ago). At present, he's home, though pretty banged up (he broke a couple of ribs too), and due to go back on Sunday for a new scan. So now I have to go on errands for my parents too...I already have my problems at home and I'm tired, y'all. I'm sorry for disappearing on you again, but I've been lacking the time and energy to visit your blogs. Seriously, anytime you see my posts manifest but I'm not interacting with you (except for approving comments on my own blog and replying to them), rest assured that real life caught up with me and threw me yet another punch. Well, enough of that - I just wanted you to know that I'm planning to resurface over the weekend. Thank you for not giving up on me when I disappear, and for understanding 💚.
Oh no, so sorry to hear about your dad. Take care and we'll all be here when you are back to your routine😁
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'll definitely be around in the weekend, for starters...
DeleteOH NO! I hope dad is on the mend. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThank you - he is (though we'll have to see what the scan says, and he's holing up at home for now).
DeleteI hate hearing this. Please take care of your family as well as taking time for yourself. Your friends will still be here waiting for your return!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm doing my best! Planning to reprise bloghopping on Saturday or Sunday, though I'm not sure if I'll be consistent for now.
DeleteSorry about what happened with your dad. Do take care of yourself. ❤️

Thank you! Glad to see you around!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your dad. Sending healing prayers for him and strength for you. Be kind to yourself, you are taking on a lot! We'll be here for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your dad. Hopefully the fact that they felt safe sending him home is good. I heard about the earthquake in Italy, was it near you? Hope you are safe. Take care of yourself too.
ReplyDeleteThe hemorrhage wasn't spreading, plus it was very small to begin with, so the neurosurgeon gave the green light. Hopefully the new scan will show a shrinkage.
DeleteI'm in Tuscany, so no, we weren't affected by the earthquake. Thank you!
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear. Broken ribs are no joke (I know from experience the sheer pain). As always, we'll be here if and when you're ready to return. In the meantime, all good vibes your way. Please try to take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteAt least the painkillers are doing their job nicely. Thank you, I will!
