Trip

I just realized i haven't blogged since the beginning of the month. wow, time flies and boy has a lot been going on in my life. Don't have time to talk about all of it so i will hit the highlights. It has been a busy month with my birthday and then jr's birthday. My family came into town a few weekends ago and i had a good time with my sisters. Last weekend I just stayed in. I spent practically all weekend at Lisa's which is always a fun and relaxing time. And now this weekend i am getting out of Chicago. Lisa and I have planned a trip to Lake Geneva and then to Milwaukee. I am really looking forward to spending a long weekend away. The last time I took a trip was last July. I would say I am due. I will try to blog when i get back.

weekend in iowa

Just got back from Iowa. I went home this weekend to see my dad. Not sure if I mentioned it or not but he has been in the hospital. His kidney's finally failed and he had to start dialysis. I am very happy that there is a such thing as dialysis. I spent the weekend just relaxing at my parents. My dad is feeling a little better and at least he has his color back but he is still very weak. I spent time talking to my parents about a transplant. My parents have filled out all the paperwork for a transplant so now it becomes a waiting game. My dad will not get better without a kidney transplant, although he can survive for awhile on dialysis. My mom is also going to check into how family members can get tested. One of my sisters and I already said we would give our kidney but my mom doesn't want that. I understand her reasoning but there is no harm in knowing if we would be a match, just in case. So, needless to say the weekend was a bit intense. I am glad to be back home but not ready for work tomorrow.
