Weekend

My weekend started out awesome but took a turn for the worse when my mom fell yesterday and fractured her shoulder. She is at home and I expected her to be doing better then she is by now. I spent the night last night and even grabbed some stitching-didn't touch it at all. I'd appreciate prayers for her to turn the corner and for strength and wisdom for me.

I was going to post a photo of my hand project but haven't figured out how to do that with my iPhone.

snip snip.....later........

Hurrah, My brother is covering at the house for me so I could come home and take a shower and get ready to sepdn the night again. I went running yesterday morning and never did get a shower! Yikes!!

Here is the awseom project carrier I use. My dear friend Kat made it for me many years ago. Maybe tonight I'll get a chance to sew.

Will definitely keep you and your mom in my prayers. Falls and fractures are so challenging! I will certainly hope her pain can be controlled and that you will get lots of help in caring for her.

Vivian said...

Prayers sent for your mother's recovery, and wishes sent as well for you and your family to cope with the stress and strain. Such times are eased for so many of us with the relaxation that stitching brings.
Take care of yourself too.

Sue said...

Praying for your mum Lori and for you. Carer's are often the forgotten ones.
Stitching can wait family come first.
Big hug .

Sue said...

I'll pray for your mother, Lori. That's not fun and things like this worry us kids so.

Elizabeth Ann said...

I will be praying for you both too and for your family!

Betty Lou said...

I will keep both you and your mother in my prayers. Take care of yourself.

Martha said...

Oh Lori -- I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I know it's hard to see your Alzheimer's parent coping with an injury -- it reminded me of when my kids were sick when they were little.

It's wonderful that your brother is able to help. I don't know what I would have done without my sisters. I hope your mother is feeling better very soon. Please take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom! I will pray for both of you. I know to have some stitching to work on can be soothing. You have a lovely project carrier - even more special when it's been made by a good friend!

Jackie said...

Lori, I hope your mother's recovery picks up speed and that in a day or two she's feeling much much better.

bettyp said...

Will keep her and you in my prayers!!

quiltsbycheri said...

lori my heart goes out to you, pray your mom heals well, at a time of great stress keeping hands busy with the repetative motion of handwork helps keep the mind from over worring, although i know that's hard not to do.....will keep your family in my prayers

Jan said...

Kat made you a really nice sewing kit:) It is nice to have some soothing handwork available. I'll be thinking of you, and you can count on prayers, too.

Barbara J said...

I hope your mom is in not too much of a pain and the recovery quick for hers and your sake.

Yeah take something to stitch keep those hands busy and mind 'relaxed'.

Darlene said...

Oh Lori I'm so sorry your Mom is suffering with the shoulder injury. I'm sending lots of healing thoughts and prayers! Sending lots of strength to you.

regan said...

Lori, you are such a good daughter! Your patience and time spent with your mom is so generous....I know she surely appreciates everything you do for her. And hopefully your brother can give her a little more time, so you can have more than just a shower!

Keep that stitching close.....it's your sanity!

BillieBee (billiemick) said...

Prayer's for your Mom's quick recovery and for your family.

Kate said...

Hope your mom's recovery is speedy. My thoughts are with both of you.

Wool Crazy said...

Lori....Our Mom took a fall a few years ago...and is now the owner of some heavy duty metal in that shoulder. The first few days are definitely not fun! I'll be thinking of your mom and all of you as you help her through it!

Beth said...

Lori, I hope your Mom's pain is decreasing. My thoughts are with you both and hoping she heals quickly. Please remember to take care of yourself. Hugs

Cardygirl said...

Hope your mum steadily improves and she regains her confidence. Hugs to you...it is worrying when parents are unwell.

Janet O. said...

Will definitely keep your Mom, and you, in my prayers. My 81 year-old Mom fell and broke her arm just below the shoulder two weeks ago. It is a hard thing to go through for both the patient and the care givers.
Hope you can squeeze in some relaxing stitching time!

pcflamingo said...

Oh dear, that's so scary when our parents start getting frail. I pray that her recovery progresses and that you are able to get the rest you need in order to give her the care she needs. The role of caregiver can be daunting and rewarding and exhausting.

Deb said...

Lori, terrible news. I hope your mum makes a speedy recovery. My mother in law also has dementia and had had a few falls and broken bones. All the more distressing when hey can't quite figure out what's happening. Make sure to take some time to look after yourself too!

Kathie said...

oh Lori I am so sorry to hear this.
I hope she is feeling and doing better today.
Please take care of yourself too. I will be thinking of you both.
Kathie

Lori, I'm sorry to hear your mother's fall. I'll be praying for you both. You have a "tough row to hoe" ahead of you. Try to find time for yourself and stitch. It will relax you and make it easier to cope. Hugs.
