Goals - Week of December 9, 2012
Things still continue to amaze me.
My Dad ended back in the hospital on Friday. His blood pressure was 86/60. Yikes! Turns out his medication is way off and so they took him off it and are letting him re-adjust. Still need to solve that internal bleeding problem, but that part is stable and shouldn't change as long as he doesn't try to do too much. He's tired, so reading, watching TV and a little bit of writing are his big activities right now.
We're nearing the end of the semester for me. WHEW! I'm sure ready for a break. We have about a week and a half of chaos left and then we're done. Whoot. Except for grading but everything but a final term paper will be done at that time. Then I can relax and spend some time enjoying my family and finally get well again! At least that's the plan!
Here's how I did last week:
