Another day ...
My FIL is stable for now ... will have open heart surgery in 4 days or so to replace a heart valve. Bob is not working today and is on his way to the hospital to see his dad. I have decided that I will go visit him (of course) but I am not going to stay all day for the weekend like I know Bob will want to. I just can't do it ... I have things I need to get done at home and I'm too fried for that. I need to take care of me. Of course I'll spend as much time as I need to when his dad has surgery ... but until then I just don't see he point of us both "living" at the hospital. Does that sound bad? I hope not.
I wanted to EAT lots of things yesterday afternoon & evening but I made pretty wise choices and didn't do any damage. I know it is just stress and being tired. My shoulder/neck tweaked the night before last and it is worse today. It woke me up in the middle of the night and this morning it was radiating up into my head!!! Advil has helped. I meant to bring my heat pack with me today but forgot. Hey ... I just remembered I have one here!! I'll stick it in the microwave and perhaps a little heat will help loosen up whatever is spasming on me. See ... I do still have a few operational brain cells!!
Five things I am grateful for today ...
1. This heart problem came to light NOW instead of just before our Mexico trip or even worse while we were in Mexico. Although the timing is difficult it could have been much, much worse. At least now my FIL will either be well recuperated from surgery or he will have passed on ... both of those I can deal with ...
2. being able to process here ... writing has always been a good way for me to process ...
3. being able to "cancel" one of my visits today because I work as a part of a team and my team member is willing to step up to the plate and take one item off of mine ... thank you Deb!!!
4. a light dusting of snow overnight which covered the dirty, melted icy snow, dusted the trees with white, and made things look much prettier around my humble abode
5. awareness that life is a series of moments and that I can do almost anything ... a moment at a time
Today will bring whatever it brings ... and I am okay!!

There are also times when one must say "no" moose. If you reach the point where a situation becomes too overwhelming, get out of it as politely as possible. I'm not getting all the details, but you really must take care of your own mental and physical well being as well, not just other people's. And as far as certain other things go, as Glen said so well, there are times to put things in God's hands.

Am I correct in understanding that your MIL expects you to sit at the hospital all weekend with your hubby and her? If so - your resentment is warranted and justified. You are not selfish. You are not a "B." You are -- as you stated -- "full up" and "overwhelmed. You must take care of you so that you can also help take care of your hubby. Do what you know in your heart of hearts to be RIGHT and stay true to yourself. That integrity will serve you all well. As Shakespeare wrote, "This above all - to thine own self be true." MUCH LOVE! MUCH MORE LOVE!
