I am exhausted. I have spent the week moving my daughter into a group home where they can help her try and live on her own. It has not been easy but I think it is for the best. She has been in there a couple of days and has wanted to come back home but we think it is best for all of us to have some time apart and just have her visit on weekends.
We took her out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant today and she kept apologizing cause she could not eat. They have her on topamax so she can lose weight and we are happy that she is losing. I think she will be much happier. She wants me to join the Y with her and I do feel that will be a good thing for both. I love to swim and I need some exercise myself.
Wish us luck on this. I know it is for the best.
Best of luck indeed, to both you and yours. Sometimes a wake-up call works wonders...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Garnet! Working out not only helps the body but the mind and spirit as well! If you go at least three to four days per week, you'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel in just a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteLove Di
Praying all works out for you! You could really enjoy the Y!!!!hughugs
ReplyDeleteI hope the best for you too Garnet...Exercize gives you
ReplyDeletea new lease on life in a way!
I hope she settles in ok. It might be nice for you both to go to the gym together.
ReplyDeleteI hope this works. I think most adult kids need to be out of the house.
ReplyDeleteGarnet, so happy to hear from you. I think it wonderful that you and your daughter have the opportunity to exercise together. It is a rewarding experience expecially when shared. I am praying for her Garnet and this group home just may be an answered prayer. I do hope all goes well......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this has left you "tired....but happy" as you say! Sounds like the Y experience will be a good thing for 2 people.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that things are looking up for all.

Jeannie..that is the plan. Both go together.
ReplyDeleteRebecca...I think the Y thing will work. I am happy with the way things are going so far.

Thank all of you for your kind posts.
It sounds like the best of all worlds, separate but together.
