Hello everyone.  It's been a very rough week over here.  My aunt was taken back to the hospital on Valentines day evening.  I went right over to be with her and we discovered that she had no blood flow at all to her bad leg.  She didn't want anymore amputations done but agreed to an operation to try and get the circulation going again.  She said goodbye to me before they wheeled her in. They operated on her late that evening and successfully got the blood flowing but only to  right above her knee.  The next morning her blood pressure was dangerously low.  She wouldn't make it through another operation so I opted to take the tubes out, and put her on morphine to make her as comfortable and pain free as I could.  I called my mother(her sister) and my uncle(her brother) but they didn't want to come.  I stayed with her until she died at 7:30pm that evening.  I made her arrangements myself and buried her yesterday.  Very sad, but I'm glad she is with my Uncle now and at peace.
I will catch up on the blogs this week and I hope all of you are doing well in every way.

  5. Beth, I am so sorry for your loss. You were a good niece to her and I'm sure she appreciated you so much. Your family situation sounds complicated since your mother and uncle didn't want to see her, I'm sorry that you have to take care of everything by yourself. You are a special person and I am sending you lots of love and hugs from Washington state :)

  7. Hi Beth. First off I am so sorry for what you went through. That must have been so difficult, and then not to have the support of your mom and uncle and having to do everything yourself. What a good person you are. I bet you meant the world to your aunt. I'm so sorry. Seems some of us are getting alittle to familiar with death and funerals these days!. Hope you are taking care of yourself. I know you need some hugs, so big hugs and love coming to you from me! Take care.

  8. Hi Beth! I do love the flax muffin, and think it fits quite well as a breakfast item.
