Checking in- Way over due?

Hi everyone Hope all is well with all of you. I have a had rough year-- car accident- fractured spine 3 places- crushed my rib cage- whole in lung.. I lived though. My mom was hospitalized in Nov and passed away CHristmas Eve. I had just returned to work Dec 5 - same hospital she was in.. My life has been hectic to say the least. During the 6 weeks she was in I lost another 20 lbbs.. Stress will do that. I am currently 158 SIze 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a different person( looks only) still the same inside- lost a part of me when my mom passed. I have been dating in between this- nothing that lasts.. not sure if it me, my choices in men or what. Work keeps me busy- I have my dad with me- he and my mom were married 60 years 7 months- they were inseparable- i am helping him keep on. Sorry for the sad post- I am usually very positive- but life sure threw a few curves. Pattiann

Hi Pattianne Sorry for your loss of your Mom and for all the bad things that happened to you. You just have to take one day at a time. Get yourself healthy and stick by your Dad. I'm sure he needs you. Keep us posted. Marie

Hi Pattiann! Good to hear from you but so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. And the car accident, wow what a year. Enjoy each day you have with your dad, as hard as caring for a parent can be at times, you will never regret this time you have with him. Stay healthy girl, and check in more often.

Geesh... and I thought my year was a rough one. Your post lights a fire under my arse to keep searching for that perfect job for my husband that is closer to my parents. There just isn't that much time left. *sigh* I'm so sorry you have had a rough one, but SO glad all is well now and you are getting it all together! We miss you around here. I'm still amazed that we can weigh 158 pounds and wear a size 6. Have sizes changed that much or are our bodies that much different? I'm the same way... wear a teeny tiny size, almost ridiculous! The last time I wore these sizes I was in Jr. High, and no where near the weight I'm at now. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Anyway -- so good to hear from you. Keep the faith and keep on keepin' on. Here's to a wonderful new year for you!!!! HUGS Kimberly

Pattiann- Sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a rough year. Hang in there and let us know if you need anything. Love Andrea

Ok.... I will stop complaining about my life now! Im so sorry for your loss Pattiann. I hope 2007 is a much better year for you. Malibu
