Anything positive happen?? Good fortune? Share something awesome that's happened recently!


My something lucky is: Last week my Mum had a major surgery on her hip. It was a long time coming as she'd been living on a broken hip for a whole year. She was unable to care for herself after the surgery so we gladly took her in. DH rearranged our bedroom to make her comfy. We put a TV up there with some movies, loaded the bedside table with fresh flowers and a nice card and put her in our bed.

She was here for a week (she went home 2 nights ago) and is now here during the day only. So I was cooking all the meals for her, changing her dressing on her incisions, washing her, changing her, helping her to the bathroom whenever she had to go, putting her in bed, distributing meds every 4 hours etc etc. So now she's here during the day. I drive her to appts, still cook for her and do laundry.

So anyways, yesterday we find out that I am actually entitled to be paid for taking care of her! They are going to back pay me for when she got here last week to now for at least level 1 personal care and continue paying me for a couple months for my driving her, cooking, laundry etc. So like over 2 months of level 1 personal care pay. That's really going to come in handy and it was such a nice, lucky surprise!

My friend who is 31 weeks pregnant with twins went from 'you will deliver within 12 hours' to 'you're going home on strict bedrest'.

well that sounds like some very good luck that you 'almost' lost your patents! you didn't! sorry about your grandpa


Quoting Needlesmama:

not in our family recently, my grandpa was put on morphine yesterday because he has overwhelming pain from stage 4 liver cancer and while my parents were driving to the hospital to be with him since the Doctor told them they NEEDED to come now, someone pulled out in front of them on the highway and caused the little car they were in to fly 50ft in the air and flip many times, the police who saw it said my dad would have been killed if he had not turned the car like he did so the other guy didn't hit the drivers side...so not only could i lose my grandpa any time now i almost lost both my parents too :-(...glad others are having good times though

I have had nothing but great luck when it comes to kids:

I got my daughter, then my son, followed by a son in law, 2 beautiful little girls and now a mystery addition on its way...I'd say that I have had nothing but amazing luck all along!  And to quote a very smart woman...I got my life back last week...thank you Coo, I love you!
