She's home!

  • Weather:

My mom was released from the hospital tonight. They ran quite a lot of tests over the last few days and they did find some problems in some of the blood vessels leading to the heart. She has to take medication for that first. Hopefully that will work. If that won't do it... no... I  don't want to think about that yet. There also seems to be something with her lungs, but they have to run more tests on that later. I'm already glad she's home!

Thank you, Francine, for you thoughts and prayers.

Oh nooooo!

My mom’s been taken to the hospital this morning. She was feeling pretty awful, had pain in her chest and felt dizzy, so my dad called their doctor. She took a cardiogram and noticed my mom’s heart rhythm was completely disordered, so the doctor immediately called for an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

I was at work when my dad called me. It’s one of those calls you dread to get. I went to the hospital after work, and thankfully, my mom already felt somewhat better. They are doing tests to see what causes the disordered heart rhythm. She will have to stay for at least a few more days for things to get back to normal again. I sure hope that will be the case. I just hate to see her like this, but I know she’s in good hands. I hope they find what’s wrong so they can fix it. She already has all those problems with her Parkinson’s disease, so she really doesn’t need anything else.

On a side note: my brother’s children always go over to my parents for lunch when it's�school. They just love to go there. So my parents had to somehow warn those children that they wouldn’t be home. Thankfully, my sister-in-law was home today, so she called the schools to have them pass the message to the children. Unbelievable but true, they warned only two of them and somehow forgot the third and youngest one. He’s also the most sensitive of the three. He went to my parents’ house as usual and was devastated to find nobody home. He just didn’t know what was wrong and was just thinking the worst. He finally decided to go home after a while and my sister-in-law said he just couldn’t stop crying. He was so afraid that something bad had happened.  I just don’t understand those schools sometimes…

If you should have a little thought and prayer left for my mom, that would be soooooo great and very very very much appreciated.

I love this song

  • Mood:
  • Weather:

I hadn't heard this song in years and all of a sudden I hear it on the radio twice this week. I forgot all about it. It's from The Proclaimers, a Scottish band. When it first came out all those years ago (1993 ?), I always sang it out loud. Especially the da da da da...  My singing sounds pretty bad, but I didn't mind with this song. Anyway, when I heard it again this week, my heart just skipped a beat. I even still remembered all the lyrics, so there I went again. Luckily I was in my car so my neighbors weren't bothered by my great singing voice.

So when I got home, I started to look for it on the internet. I first came across the song on Youtube, but I don't know if any of you have any experience with this video site, but I think a lot of videos on youtube have a pretty awful sound. Anyway, I looked further and I found this great site where you can listen to all kinds of music and even put it on your journal. So beware... I might come up with a song once in a while.

I don't know if any of you guys in America know this song, but here it is: The Proclaimers with "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)". I hope you'll like it as much as I do. And don't you just LOVE that little Scottish accent?  

Turn up your volume, press the button with the triangle and enjoy:


 
When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home oh I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you
When I'm dreaming well I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you

When I go out well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

To fall down at your door
