hi ladies. Love the pics. Very inspiring. Thanks
So ive been miserably sick. However managed to stay hydrated and out of hospital. Seen Mo today which labs showed dehydration but I promised to keep sipping on liquids and stay home. Ive lost probably a week in bed. Ugh. Anyway on the upswing now. We discussed pet scan today and basically unchanged. Some places increased and some decreased. Stay on same tx. I'll take it.
About another week for divorce to be final. Just seems so weird. Never never imagined this would be my life. I was planning on moving June 1st but there is this awesome duplex available and I don't think I wanna pass it up. Gonna look at it again tomorrow and probably put down my deposit and see how long I can hold it for. Was hoping school would be out so we don't have to figure out transportation.plus my sister planning on coming June 1st to arrange everything for me. She has great style. Me -. Not so much. Oh well. Guess I can't plan every everything. Darn thats a hard lesson - still working on that. Dss are amazingly handling it well. They have had time to adjust. Once we actually moved I imagine will bring up many emotions. Dss are saying they only wanna stay with me but I can't agree to that. If the situation was opposite I would be horrified to think they didn't want to see me.
Spring has sprung and everything is new and beautiful. Trying to keep my mood the same. Hey at least I am not trying to move in the winter. Brrr.
I sincerely appreciate all the love, understanding and support bco sister's.

I can second that moving in winter comment! I did it during the January blizzards! We were blessed to actually get two clear days on moving out and moving in day but it was FREEZING! Keep sipping those fluids Patty and try not to stress over moving. It will get done and a fresh start will do wonders for your outlook.

Hi Patty,
Sorry to hear you were so sick again but glad you weathered it without having to go to the hospital. It is nice to see you posting again! After you move I hope you will have people checking in on you when you don't have the kids. I worry about you being alone. Still it is something new to look forward to and to help you move on to a happier life. Goodness knows you deserve it! Keep on keeping on girl! Sending love and hugs!

Patty- sorry to hear you have been under the weather again. But also glad you did not end up in the hospital. Fluids are a good thing, keep sipping and hope you are feeling stronger each day too.
There are so many things in life that happen that we could never imagine would. Having talked to a few sisters on these threads, I know you are not the only one to have gone through a divorce during a time of illness. That being said, it think you are looking forward to create a new chapter via a new home for you and your boys. I hope you get that great duplex and your sister will be great to help you pull it all together.
Sending much love and hugs and wishing you better days. Summer is coming!

Isn't life just full of surprises, I think most of my life is not what I was anticipating. But somehow it always works out. I'm hoping this new chapter of your life is a refreshing new start. Keep trudging along, brighter days are ahead. Hang in there.

Patty, I am sorry that you have been feeling poorly, but it is good that you are not dehydrated. Keep sipping that water! Let us know if you moved forward on the duplex. Could you pass papers on it in May but still not move in until June 1? That way you could avoid the boys' school transportation issue and your sister can help you settle in.
It sounds like your PET scan was pretty good. That is always good news. I hope you feel better soon.

darn it has already been rented. Oh well back to the drawing g board. We have the State University here so college kids will be moving out for the summer soon. Very easy to find good places I hear. Just being thankful that we are all getting along and u don't have the need to move out immediately. Kike tge idea someone said about renting a place but not actually moving til June 1st. That I can do.
Can't believe school is already almost out. Where did the school year go? Wow time just continues to move faster and faster. Reminds me of an hourglass I am gonna cheat and just flip it over. Not ready to call it quits yet.
Big hugs my amazing bco siatas.

Patty- sorry the unit was not available, but like your idea of more choices coming up with the college kids leaving and more rentals available. You are going to find the perfect place for you and your boys. No flipping over the hour glass. Keep sipping your water!
We are happy to be here with you friend!

Hi Patty, good to hear from you. Hope it will fall into place for you to get the home you want. There are times I have thought my never-to-be-published autobiography should definitely be called "Who ordered this life?" XXX

Dear, dear Patty....My 6 month check-in....and I'm sorry to hear about a divorce. It sounds as though you are keeping your head up...as always, persevering! I love, and totally would expect, that your darlings to want to be with you always, but hoping there are good feelings with dad so you have support. Good luck on finding a great place to live, a smooth move and feeling stronger again...hugs!!

Hi Patty! So good to see you posting regularly again and especially avoiding the hospital! 😊
Hoping you'll find a great place soon once all the college kids move. Since you don't have to move out immediately, you will have the option to pick and choose, which is so much better than having to take the first place that is available.
I hope you and your dear boys are enjoying the end-of-year school activities. My three children have been keeping me very busy with art shows, school plays, and transitioning post high school.
I keep you in my thoughts and prayers even though I haven't been posting much lately.
Lots of love ❤️, Madelyn

Patty- I saw on line that there are some areas with pretty massive flooding in Arkansas. Are you being affected by this?
0 -
Thinking of you.
😘 ❤️

hi. No serious flooding in my immediate area but about 30 Miles away we have the worst ever flooding. Many people have lost their homes , and some even lives
I found the perfect duplex today. Yea ! Everything I was looking for and more. Was be to think I was being way to picky. Only bad news is they would only hold the duplex for 3 days so I went for it and put down my deposit and 1st months rent. Was wanting school to be out for dss transportation issues but it's only 1 1\2 weeks left so we can manage. Going to begin moving stuff in on Tuesday. Well actually dh and dss doing all the labor for me. I am just being bossy. My divorce is final Monday so pretty good timing I guess. Now that it is so close I am getting nervous. All that time alone esp half weeks without dss. Only time we've been apart is when I've been in hospital. Also worrying about when I get so sick and dehydrated Trying to push those fears to the back and focus on positives. One biggest positive is I have friends to help and another is I get to buy new houseware stuff so that's exciting.
Hugs

Hi Patty,
I'm so pleased to see you posting more often. Congratulations on finding the duplex so quickly! Moving in to a new "home" should keep you pretty busy for a while. Unpacking and decorating etc. Probably a nice distraction. But don't overdo it! I still worry about you being alone and hope you have people who will be checking in on you. Wishing you the best as you embark on this new chapter in life. Be good to yourself!

Hey Patty- glad to hear that you found the perfect place to live. Also glad you are safe from the floods. So sorry to hear about those in your state who have lost homes and lives. There is a lot of serious flooding in the midwest and NE right now.
As someone who is single and went through several major health crises on my own, it is good to have a couple friends or family member you know you can call if you need to. Especially if you need a ride to the hospital. When you live alone as an adult (and yes, I know you sons will be there but may not be able to recognize or help you with this), you need to figure out when you need to call someone. Ask those people you know who can be there for you. Sometimes you need a few because one of them may not be around, or able, etc. I have a few trusted friends who can do that for me. Find those people and talk to them now so you feel better about the what ifs?

I'm thrilled you have found your new home. Even though I'm sure this time is difficult, just try to remember as one chapter closes, a new one opens. I'm sure there will be an adjustment period but hopefully you will be happier in the end. Keeping uplifted in my prayers

Good job Patty, Hugs. Think Uber for back up transportation. You can likely get on the county transport system. Social services can help with that one. Now that you will be living alone and on disability, you may be eligible for all kinds of services. Social services can help with that one too.
Why did the area that got flooded--get flooded. What was it about the local topography? If a fluke, what is surmised lead to it?

Patty, congratulations on finding the perfect place!
Wishing you all the best in this new chapter!
Have you thought about signing up for Meals on Wheels or some other social services? Since you are now a household of one, you may qualify for additional services. There are also agencies that can call you every day for a check in. Some police stations and VNAs do that.
love, Madelyn
