I started a post about my weekend in Florida but have yet to finish it. Hopefully I will work on it soon. We had a nice 4th of July. It was just the two of us and we got to watch the fireworks from several towns from our backyard.
I don't have a problem with Mark being home only with the fact that everyday seems like the weekend. Normally I didn't do a lot on the weekend but that seems to be overflowing into the week days. I'm way off track. Truthfully I've been laying on the couch watching movies and feeling sorry for myself.
So bare with me. I haven't been on my computer much and haven't read many blog posts. I have to push through this and get into my normal routine. Today I must make some progress!!
Also our new insurance started on July 1st so I have been on the phone a lot trying to get some questions answered. Same doctor same medical group but I have to go and get new referrals. I am doing that on Wednesday. Medical stuff is never fun!
Unfortunately my primary doctor just got back from vacation and is now booked until July 25th so I am going in as a walk in and might have to wait a few hours. I must get the referrals in place. The medical group said I should have no problem requesting all of my current doctor's my name.
On top of that my brother is in the hospital in Milwaukee. We are not exactly sure what happened, the whole story hasn't come out but he has been in since sometime Friday night. His arm is broken and I think he may be having surgery on it today. I believe they were trying to get his blood pressure down.
So I have been on the phone with my dad a lot the last few days and texting with my sister. Also I have been talking to my brother at the hospital. I will tell you more when I know more. Your prayers are welcomed. He is left handed and it is his left arm. He lives alone and hopefully some of his friends can help him over the next few weeks.

Sounds like you've bee having a rough time. I'm sending prayers to help you through and also some for your brother
Oh my goodness - retirement starts but problems don't stop!!!
I sure do hope you get your medical all settled and that your brother is okay.
Love, sandie
I'm sorry to read your post today and pray that the problems will be resolved soon. In the meantime, rest and remember to cast your burdens on the Lord. He will sustain you. I'm taking a break right now and don't think I'll blog until the kids go back to school.
You're right … medical stuff is such a pain! I finally got into see my new endocrinologist this morning -- first time using only Medicare and expected a hassle. (Knock wood, no ugly surprises. Yet.) Now we still need to find a new primary care fellow + cardiologist for Tom. It's always something!
Prayers going up for your brother! (I, too, am left-handed and well remember my left arm being in plaster cast.) I hope all the details aren't too overwhelming.
Sounds like you're going through a tough time...I'm sending my prayers for you and your family.
Praying for your brother for a speedy recovery! Hopeful all will go well with you for getting the new referrals; such a hassle but once in place should remain in place, right? I'm sure it is an adjustment having Mark home, like I mentioned before (I think) like adjusting to the kids being home for summer vacation, always takes a bit to get back into a routine. I'm sure you'll be able to work out a schedule where you get the things done during the week like you did before when he was working.
betty
Once you get back into your routine, it will make all the difference. I don't have a routine, apart from getting up to work, getting home, getting to bed and then getting up to go to work again. That sounds dreadful!
Hope your brother will be okay soon again. Sending good wishes his way.
Bless you and your brother and everyone else! Did he break his arm IN the hospital? I know how you feel about not being motivated when it feels like a weekend. When my husband is home, my routine is all off.... and it drives me crazy! He works a week, off a week with his new post retirement job. I love when it's his work week. lol
so sorry all this is going while you are 'adjusting' to retirement stuff. prayers for your brother and for you as you are stuck under that sign at the top of the post.
Praying for you and your brother.
I think what your describing is part of the reason I'm a little afraid to retire. I can be rather lazy on the weekends and I'm afraid, I might do that everyday if I'm not working. I'm not the most self-disciplined person sometimes. lol
Take care of yourself.
Your poor brother. Did he fall?
