Hello all,
I'm brand new here and am so inspired by all of the wonderful support you lovely ladies offer to people you don't even know.
First of all my beloved sister took her life. I have 3 other older sisters but am not very close to any of them. They found her body in a praying position. I can't seem to get that picture out of my mind. She overdosed on all kinds of drugs, drugs prescribed by her Dr. A few months later my dear, sweet mother-in-law who was 86 died a horrible death. She had a living will but it was not honored because no close family member was at the hospital at the time she went in. She suffered terribly and knowing she did not want to be intubated and seeing her that way made me SO ANGRY at those doctors. She passed in May.
Then hurricane Rita hit us hard. Rita was the "other" storm right after Katrina. It did as much devastation as Katrina but no one heard much about it because we south Louisianians are a pretty tough bunch. We did not evacuate (I know...) and I will never do that again. As far as damage goes we fared pretty well. But the aftermath was worse than the storm. South Louisiana is stifilling hot in Sept. But we were well prepared.
A few months later my dear father-in-law passed away. He was 94 with Alzheimer's. But thankfully, he passed quietly and peacefully. My DH proceeded to have an emotional meltdown and became a completly different man which I totally understand. The bad part is I was on the recieving end of his wrath. We're trying to repair things but it's pretty tough.
Now my stepdaughter's twin 3 yr. old twin girls have been taken away from her because she is using drugs. Her mom refuses to let my husband and myself see them.
So, it's been extremely difficult around here lately. BUT, thanks to Fit Tv I saw a Cathe workout and she, especially, appealed to me and I ordered Slow and Heavy and LOVE it. It and my daily walks (and LOTS of prayer) are about the only thing helping me to hold on to whats left of my sanity.
Thank all of you for letting me vent.
And thank you Cathe for the inspiration to get fit. My arms are really getting ripped. I have trouble with the stepping and back work due to a fairly recent L5 back fusion surgery.
