Just can't catch up

[Guest guest]

I try and I try to catch up on posts and it's just impossible. I

give and I'll just post. It's me Kerry. Haven't posted since an

answer to about dropping sats I think and before that about

getting listed. We've been busy just keeping up w/ the kids sports

and end of school year activities and launching into spring around

the house and yard. The kids just finished their soccer spring

season's w/ the Y. Now, we just have my daughter's baseball

practice 2 times a week and games once a week (we did have a double

header Wednesday to make up 2 games). Today is her last day of

school for 1st grade (I have to get showered to make it to awards).

My sister just flew in town last night for a 10 day visit. My

husband has been working tirelessly around the yard, planting my

garden, doing landscaping, installing a new slide into the pool for

the kids. Kurt wants to play games and outdoors 24/7. I'm doing my

best to keep up w/ it all. I'm having to use higher and higher flow

O2. Last pulmo visit they prescribed a high flow concentrator for

home. I'm upping it just moving around the house, on exercise bike

at home, at Y for Core class and on treadmill. I did finally get to

my bare minimum weight for 20% BMI. The protein shakes are the only

thing that have helped. I had a hellish Mother's Day being the

first w/out my Mom and just w/ all the transplant listing stress.

We've worked hard lately to keep on keeping on and get together w/

friends, etc. to get on w/ living life and keep making good times

rather than put life on hold. Like I said in prior post Spring time

really does help w/ all of that and I'm so happy to have the good

weather and blooms and birds. Glad to hear others are enjoying the

same. On the note of missing my Mom on Mother's Day that brings me

back to trying to catch up on posts. I'm still at least 5 days

behind, but here goes.

My prayers and best for all those struggling and who've suffered

loss lately.

Vicki, I'm glad you got over that latest down... so sweet that

Ginger intervened.

Joyce, my lord girl... I'm just waiting for you to get some relief

so we can visit and you can not be trying to sit there w/out

itching. Glad you've gotten out though and been enjoying Lucian

when he has allowed your O2 at proper levels. Endless sense of

humor... you amaze me. I hope to see you soon.

... I'm so sorry to hear of your niece, I hope she pulls thru

and offer your entire family my best in this stressful time.

Tina, I'm so horrified at your tale and know this is such a

difficult time for your entire family. I was glad to hear your

daughter's wedding was good, she had to keep on w/ her living.

Tough though. Sorry your soon to be ex is an A**.

Zena, I hope you keep finding strength. Sorry you've had some tough

times emotionally. I hear ya.

Gale, I'm so sorry for your loss. I see my father in that pain

after losign my Mom. She was 69 and they were just shy of their

48th anniversary.

Gwynne, I'm sorry for your loss. Like Joyce said we all need our

Mom's, but I am glad she got to see you post transplant. I wish my

Mom could have been around for mine. My mom was the best at nursing

you when you were down. Your recovery and living continues to be

such a source of inspiration to me and my husband... THANK YOU!!!

May, I am so sorry I've not posted or emailed. I LOVE YOUR DRESS.

I can totally picture it on you. I think you will look great and I

can't believe the time has come soooo quick. Have a great time.

I'll be thinking of you on the 1st.

Irene, I'm glad you're finally getting some food and got some

medical care.

Hi to Peggy, Jane, Geeta, Beth, the traveling Bruce.

Oh, gosh I almost forgot... I was soooo happy to see a post from

Joanie of Joanie and Bud... I have missed you so!

Hi, to P., Mike (Mango Man glad to hear from you after so

long), , Z., S., don't know if I've ever said hi or

welcome to K. So many newbies I surely can't keep up there.

Wally, I can't believe how well your fundraiser went... amazing!

I know I'm forgetting many... I too have memory glitches and I've

always prided myself on my memory. This here is just cause I'm

rushing to finish... I'm definitely running late now.

Off to shower to cheer on my daughter's awards, my love to all!
