Quite some time has passed since I wrote. And so much has changed in my world. And in the world outside as well..
In my world since 1916 my world was really a series of downs and ups. 2016, I was pretty lost. With the loss of my mother the only normal part of my life was my work and I pretty much buried myself in work, 2017 things sure got better when I was led to work with Dr Keitha Story-Stephenson at her Wellness Center. We were surely kindred spirits. We were both in the wellness business. We had both recently lost mothers that had lived with us long term. I think we made a pretty awesome team. In 2018 I developed health issues. I seemed to have strange things happening. On another subject, Christmas Eve 2018 I was at a friends Christmas party and I got a text message from an old friend. A guy I met when I was 17. Always was considered a friend but now he was a widowed friend. His wife died 6 weeks before my mom died. We talked on the phone often for a month or so and he planned to stop by and visit in February as he would be traveling through my area. On February 6 2019 I felt so bad. I still went to work and shortly after getting there I walked into Dr Keitha’s office and told her I felt really bad. She questioned me and decided to find out what my blood sugar was doing….469. She did tell me I should go to the hospital but I refused. I totally knew how people became diabetic and I knew what changes had to be made. Though it seemed like my brain was not working quite right. Suddenly all of my issues of the last 6 months made sense to her. Not me because I was not putting the pieces well. She tucked me under her wing and coached me to get better. Now two days later on February 8 2019 my long ago friend walked through my office door. Keitha had made me stop doing massage for a month but I was to come in to the office. So, there I sat when he walked in. He took me out to supper. He had experience with a relative with diabetes and was not put off by that.
From this point on I will make a couple of posts bringing folks up to date on my story and then will go back to writing my mother’s story. As even after her death she remains part of my story. I will make a Diabetic update and a personal life update and then it has been requested for me to continue my mother’s legacy. I know she would be happy with that
