Well, as Jack Benny used to say. We got thrown for a loop last week in my family. My Mom fell and broke her hip. She had it replaced and is in rehab currently. My brothers, nieces, nephews (too bad English doesn't have a collective gender neutral for that level of family), uncle, and dear family friend are taking turns visiting and helping her.
This is partially why I did not post in this blog yesterday (though I've established and intend to continue a weekly post on Wednesday). I don't think anyone is subscribed, and I'd be surprised if anyone has even noticed the pattern, but it is not a good thing to do in the beginning of what I intend and hope is a long and fruitful tradition, and it was a goal of mine in November to write daily and I missed a day this week.
If I had planned better I would have had a post "in the can" and been prepared for not being able to write on Wednesday.
My Father died of pancreatic cancer, but before that, he had prostate cancer (for which he was successfully treated). My Father-In-Law had dementia and broke HIS hip, which ultimately impacted his departure from our company. I find it interesting that the identical purple ribbon is used for both of these conditions.
My Mom also has dementia, so this story turns round and round.
I planned to raise awareness of men's health issues and failed to use the platform already at my disposal in this blog.
No plan survives first contact with the enemy even if that enemy is your own poor planning. I'm going to have to up my game.
What are your plans for the rest of the year? How are you going to adjust them once they are put into action?
