Good morning!! TGIF. I am tired!! Anything that isn't routine in my life throws me. MIL's surgery went fine last night. She is doing well today-still a bit groggy. She is getting out of the bed and walking sometime today. The surgery was actually a rod being put in her femur. Apparently, the orthopedist said she had cracked her femur not her hip. And the dtr was someone who had repaired her wrist when she fell years ago, so she was happy with him. She may be released Sunday and transferred to a rehab facility which happens to be straight across from her house. That is super convenient for FIL because he isn't driving these days because he forgets where he is going. Their church family is going to keep an eye on them for us when we can't get over there.
I got my walking done outside yesterday but today will be too cold. Yoga is really helping me through the stress. Dinner may be out or may be whatever I can find to prepare.

Have not logged on this week at all. A very, very sucky week. One of my brothers died suddenly Monday afternoon. I'm going through all those stages of grief but haven't reached acceptance yet. I was not very close to this brother, and now I never will be able to tell him any of the things I always wanted to in order to try to make things right. Too late for that now and I am sick about it.
Me, my other brother (who I do spend time with and consider us to be kinda close) and my sister have now lost all grandparents, momma, daddy and now middle brother. Getting old I guess. Funeral service was long, three speakers, five songs, then full military honors graveside as my brother served in the Navy and was aboard the USS John F. Kennedy during the first Gulf War (Desert Storm).
Here is a recent pic of my brother.

Photo of my brother from his time in the Navy. This was in the mid-eighties or very early nineties.

I'm gonna share one more photo then shut up.
While going through some of his things to find some photos for the visitation, we found this old photo that I did not even know existed. It is my Grandad and me and the photo had to have been taken in maybe 1962 or 1963. I look to be maybe two or three years old in this pic. It was cool finding this, but I wish I had found it under difference circumstances.

I'm sorry you didn't get the chance to make things right with him before he passed. I hope you can find peace with it...it's hard carrying around the baggage of emotions left unresolved. He looks so young!! How old was he, if I may ask?

He was 55, two years younger than me. We both are (or in his case, was) much more handsome and younger looking than we have a right to be.

Wow....I think 55 IS really young. I thought my mom was young when she passed and she was 2 weeks from her 64th birthday. How sad that he went so soon. It doesn't seem like enough time, does it?He was 55, two years younger than me. We both are (or in his case, was) much more handsome and younger looking than we have a right to be.

You were a little cutie.
I can see the resemblance here between your Grandad and your brother.

Hi Figgy! I've missed you! MIL is doing better today. She fell the first day at the rehab center but is ok. She tried climbing into bed from her wheelchair and missed. And this morning around 4:30 she decided she wanted to go home and rolled out of the bed. They x-rayed her and no damage. Ugh! Hopefully her mind will gradually return to normal soon. The nurse said she has post-surgery dementia from the anesthesia and pain meds. She is one stubborn cookie! FIL visited her today and said she looked good so keeping fingers crossed.

Cannot like that snow and ice. We only had a thin coat of ice on Saturday but it melted off by afternoon. I need some stretching out too. I feel tight from all the stress! Lunch sounds really good. Are you feeling lots better?

By the way @figmentfan423 I need some good salad ideas. What ingredients do you use in your salads?
Anything and everything depending on my mood and what's in the house. I start with a leafy green and go from there. By green I do not mean iceburg!!!!!!!!!! Think romaine, butter red or green leaf lettuce. Spinach, kale( usually baby or heavily massaged), cabbage, etc.. Most days some shredded carrot. Sometimes broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans all of which can go in raw or cooked. Some days beans, tofu, lentils, tempeh or quinoa depending on my mood. Most days some onion again either raw or cooked. Tomatoes and cukes depending on the season. Sometimes sprouts. Sometimes fruit and or nuts. Tonight is spring mix, carrot, pearand walnut with a strawberry dressing. I have both on hand. When the weather is nice and I do a lot of walking I'll add some brown rice.

Thank you so much! I love salads but we tend to throw them together with just lettuce, cuke and tomatoes. Then, we never get full.
