I know it's been a really long time since I posted, but as usual, a lot of stuff going on.....the main thing being the sudden death of my oldest brother toward the end of January.
According to the coroner, he died of complications of hypertension, COPD and diabetes....we suspect he either had a stroke or heart attack. He was only 55.
He was not in the best of health, and did not take great care of himself, plus he drank too much alcohol and smoked. He lived alone and died at home.
I've been having to go through his stuff because I and my sister are his only close relatives and she had to go back to her home in another state, so it has been occupying a lot of my time, plus I'm still working full time as an OR nurse.
Moral of this sad story: If you have a drinking problem, get help.... If you smoke, find a way to stop.... If you have diabetes, try to eat right, exercise and take medicine as prescribed.... If you have hypertension (high blood pressure), take your medicine every day.... If you have COPD, follow your physician's instructions.
Another lesson learned from this is to always make sure you have your important papers in a safe place and let someone know where they are.
Anyway, I hope to get back to blogging again.
