Well, Well...it has been a month of craziness for my family and I...it all started on Monday January 10th when my Mom called and said she had a mild heart attack and was being rushed to Riverbend Medical center in Eugene OR...
that was just the beginning let me tell you...
we found out the next day that Mom needed triple bypass surgery! YIKES!! She was scheduled for Monday the 17th of January...when Wednesday the 12th Mom was rushed to ICU with 3 bleeds ...2 in her stomach...and 1 in a muscle in her back...Durning the time Mom was in ICU...my Dad had to come into Riverbend to get his stint replaced...and have dialysis...he had a kidney problem for the past year or so...so both my parents were in the hospital...strange...to say the least...however I thought its just an odd coincidence...and left it at that! Cameron and I knew that hospital inside and out...at this point...
They released Mom on January 21st to go home to recover from her bleeds and rest in her own home...and they rescheduled her surgery for Feb 2nd...Mom's recovery at home went great...and her operation was on as scheduled!
Fast Forward 7days...
I got a call late on Jan 27th that my Dad was rushed to Riverbend with chest pains...I called and talked to his nurse and they told me he would go in first thing Friday for a triple bypass...I figured I'd go in Saturday...he'd probably still be in ICU...but he'd be alert and ready for a visit! Well...other plans were in order...I got a call early Saturday saying that Dad might of had a stroke...and being his next of kin...I needed to be there...they predicted the worst...Cam and I were there all day Saturday...and I planned to talk to his Doctor on Monday...and go from there...Well...Monday came and I got another early morning call telling me I needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible Dad wasn't doing well...They did their best to keep him alive until I got there...but Dad had other plans...Jan 31st 2011 at 7:55am My Dad passed away....
at this point...I am still dealing with those feelings...and my Mom is going into surgery on Feb 2nd 2days later for the exact same surgery...while I didn't plan on being there for Mom's surgery after what happened to my Dad...nothing could keep me away...
Needless to say Mom's surgery went nothing like Dad's...Mom was out of ICU in 1 day...and in a regular room...by Friday...and Home by Monday!! AMAZING recovery!!
Sooo to top this ALL off...I get some stinking flu bug on Saturday...and am just now feeling well today! lol...
After all this I am so Thankful for my husband who has been by my side...my kiddos who keep me grounded and my Passion business that even while things go awry I can climb right back in the drivers seat...with 2 FABULOUS parties this weekend!!!
So yes...I am getting my Passion groove back...Diva Val is BACK!!
