No more numbers -- Just events, Hit by lightening.

I would like to say that I lived through the last week but am having trouble remembering what happened.
I went over to a close friend to be told she has been given a life sentence.  It would be good if it was jail but it is her health.  I think the shock hit me so hard I was walking around in a bubble.

I have only told a few friends as her offspring isn't going to hear about this until the New Year.  The offspring is my offsprings friend.   At times like this you stop breathing.   I am a fighter and am going to be with her all the way.   It hurts and I am hoping she can make it till they have the cure and the Doctor said it will be in five years.   She doesn't think she will make it.   She has new medication and says it throbs in her body.   It is to keep her nerves and muscles working.   She has been told to gain weight and to exercise her muscles.

I will get her to swim or do what ever to help her keep fit and we talk about diet.

The disease is a problem with the enzymes in the body and they don't function properly resulting of loss of muscle control.   One thing on my friend's side is that it takes attacks the body slower in older people.

I spent the week busy doing things in the house and seeing a few people.   I saw my friend who is the travel agent.  There are days you just want to say to her what is the cheapest trip you have and go there.  It can't happen at the moment.   I am contemplating going to visit number one offspring for the Jubilee of our do lady Queen I think in June.   My Grandmother was a school girl at her GGGGrandmother Victoria's as a school girl in Hyde Park.   That is a wait and see though as travel is expensive.  My offspring has a one bedroom apartment.

I saw my other friend and went to visit her parents who have been stalwarts in my life.   Her Father is also very ill but not in hospital and it was nice to see them.   They are both in their eighties and have been married for about 61 years.    We had a nice afternoon.

It was a week of dealing with realities and not pleasant ones.   I am trying to get the house ready for Christmas but I am not sure I am that interested.   I will do it for the offspring and my partners God Mother who spends the day with us.

This week is a new week and hopefully life picks up.
