Once you have kids, the worrying never stops. Mari is driving to Calgary Stampede for a long birthday weekend. Eleven hours of driving seems a bit excessive for me, the one who doesn’t tolerate long distance driving very well.
Elina is having some health issues. In a county of socialized medicine, where things happen slowly, after some concerning blood work, next week she is scheduled in for a CT scan, two ultrasounds, a specialist visit to be followed up with a visit to another specialist. On the way out of the doctor’s office today she made a comment that next week she had to drive into town three times from her one hour away job for medial appointments. I suggested she take the week off. She explained that it wouldn’t be possible since she is taking the following week off to travel with her BF. In my mommy fashion, I told her that her health was more important. In Elina fashion, she replied, "Mother, I love you a lot, but you are so difficult," I replied, "Just wait until I’m 80."
When you raise kids, the issues don’t go away, they just change.
I’m coping by knitting away, but my photos aren’t available on my laptop. See you next week. Thank goodness my job allows us to use our sick time to tend to family member’s health problems.
