Other people behaving badly...

They drained the hematoma? You've got holes in your head and they let you out before they heal over? Scary stuff.

Sorry, Send!! I'm a chronic self-editor, and if I didn't see a response already to something I wrote, and I feel I'm being overly OCD and self indulgent with my own ramblings, then I sometimes edit. I don't even remember what I was whining about but I felt fussy last night, I remember that...

It is funny.  Heheh.  I think it is.  Someone's going to read these threads and think we are all on good meds, hahah.  

Helen's has the absolute best blueberry pie. But in the winter the one closest to us is 65 miles away (on a bad road). Governor's is closest by and they're second best, but very good.

I am climbing the walls. They have my head on this padded board thing. Not too uncomfortable. They drained the hematoma. Got another bald spot for that procedure. If the swelling doesn't build up overnight I get to escape tomorrow. The doctor said was okay to use my IPad. The cable here is terrible.

Becky,
I imagine you must be climbing the walls - is there any view out your window ?

Did you get any blueberry pie tonight ? After Barb mentioned Helens, I looked it up online - award winning blueberry pie, my oh my

Goodnight Gershun!

Ali,  
Cut that out!  If you post something, someone responds, then you erase it, there is a weird comment just sitting there making no sense.  I think that I have been doing that too?  I usually edit only the spelling, but I am sure I must have messed up somewhere.  It's okay, kinda funny isn't it?

Becky,
Guess it is too cold to be wheeled outside in a wheelchair where you are.
Some hospitals have a lobby or an atrium with sunlight. Maybe your hubs can take you on a tour.
Really hoping your headache gets better fast. Is the head of your bed elevated? Get as comfortable as possible, think good thoughts.
Goodnight!

Becky, of course, you didn't offend me! Where did you get that idea........trust me my dear, I'm usually the one who seems to offend, not get offended. It's all good! You just concentrate on getting better. I was wondering if being on your computer may slow down your recovery. They say looking at devices too much can be a problem. Not that I'm trying to make you leave. I'm just thinking of your well-being.

Gershun, Sorry if I offended.

Ali, If you find a brain zapper for sleep, let us know about this miracle. I'm up again in the hospital. The headache I had from getting hit on the head is back again. I tried to get a pill, but the order on my chart had expired. My ankle hurts and burns. Hospitalist on duty did a Doppler ultrasound and started me on a blood thinner as prophylaxis for blood clots.

Maybe other posters are like me and have no idea how to find anything, anytime. I stumbled into the dys thread and have found three or four others by accident.

I am whiny tonight. Too much stuff has happened in the last 18 mos. Too many deaths, too much garbage from bad bro and family, etc. and now getting hit on the head by a nutty woman and being in the hospital for week. And this whole sleep thing. I think it's because I haven't been outside. I have to have fresh air to function correctly. Maybe I'll try breathing. If it was daytime, I'd go look at babies in the nursery.

Ali,
Whatever do you mean, I have dinner every night.

Gershun,
The point I was trying to make was there is humor even if it is depends.

Becky,
Anyone who is offended by humor can go to the person directly and ask them to stop.
They don't have to leave or talk to others using back channels.

Elon Musk sent a fake astronaut into the great beyond in a roadster, so why can't I have a brain-zapper that turns mine off on demand...?

So Send, are you saying I should go to that thread and add something? My two cents...............or a dime, maybe a dollar? It's funny how some threads catch on and others just disappear. I seem to recall I started a thread once where I suggested people talk about their special fun, loving memories of their loved ones and Nope!, people would rather complain.
It seems talking about poop is easier than trying to dredge up a good memory. Sad, kind of..................:(

Gershun,
Here is a thread that only has 6 answers:

Caregiver humor.

Your know you're a caregiver for someone who is elderly or disabled when all the ads that pop up on your facebook or social media pages reflect your search for DEPENDS.

Gershun, I’m sure your right about the people who’ve had to clean up after parents. But for the initiated, every post with the inclusion of the dog pee and dog poop and garbage is too much for me and some others - we find it gross. Then again, maybe if you’re living in that filth you need to talk about it. I have no answer for that situation.

I"ll have ketchup on my puree please.

We get chili as a lunch option regularly... yup, they do pureed chili, with pureed bread and a pureed salad. If you have to do puree it is actually one of the more flavourful options!

Pureed chili?

Lol, Ms Madge. Chili.................LOL!!!!

Hoca is trying out new dishes and served chili for dinner - I imagine the NOC CNA is not going to have a fun shift

Becky, I think after cleaning parents pee and poop, cleaning your animal's seems like a breeze. That's probably why people don't think twice about discussing it. Some things are better left unsaid for sure. Most caregivers have been there so don't really need to hear the graphic descriptions.

But, maybe ...............people need to talk about it? I don't know.

Yep, we are all dealing with something, for sure.

I'm not sure how the sleep is. Seems I can't get enough of it these days. I am in my bed and asleep for enough hours so that I shouldn't feel bone-tired, and yet... I have been feeling like that most days, just painfully tired. I'm hoping the worst of it will pass soon, and if I get help from the thyroid meds, that would be really great.

How's the hospital? You're still there or no? I would die. They would have to give me sedation meds, I can't stand being stuck in a hospital. I can barely stand to be "stuck" at home with myself if I'm not feeling well.

The new mattress is still a very interesting purchase and adjustment -- it's so FIRM. But I don't get backache overnight so I'm thinking I will get used to it in time.

I hope you're mostly recovered from the attack. Thanks for asking about me. :-)

Ali, I think he was before my time,or maybe I didn't pay attention. I behave badly a lot of the time. Sometimes I keep it in my head, but every now and then I will let something fly. Every one on here is going thru stuff, some of it really bad. I could not do the hands on care that many people do for their loved ones. And I've not had to deal with dementia which is so difficult. My aversion to the pee and poop recitations is just me. But I do hate it that some people don't come back to post after reading that stuff. How's the sleep?

I have no idea what you're referring to, Becky, but it sounds like I'm better off for my ignorance, haha!

...

And I erased the rest of my post, because it was about other people.  :-) 

I just found this thread. I've read most of it. I was particularly struck by the comments on long rambling posts. Drives me nuts. Over and over, long rambling posts full of drivel. And I am totally sick of hearing about animal pee and poop. Many caregivers have to deal with people pee and poop, they don't need to hear about animal's. And I am sickened by descriptions of rotten garbage and digging thru garbage - it nauseates me and several other posters. I want to write in all capital SCREAM letters "shut up about animal pee and poop and digging thru garbage. It's "Other People Behaving Badly" to me. Be considerate of those of us who sicken to their stomachs easily. It's disgusting. We've lost a couple of posters because of this.

Erased my post, because it was about other people. lol.

I was trying not to notice that.

Stock market behaving badly

Surprising isn't it?
Other people are behaving worse than me.

Is there really a correlation between people's strange or bad behaviors and the full moon? Or the electro-magnetic fields affecting earth? Inquiring minds want to know.

Although I don't understand the science fully, when people in general start behaving even differently, not themselves, or badly, I go try looking up sun, moon, and earth events for an explanation. In the past 3 days, people were weird! Both on the forum (sorry), and out there, (driving). Has anyone noticed?
I found this CME- Coronal Mass Ejection on the Sun affecting earth:

"LATEST SOLAR NEWS:
(Nov 14 1237UTC) The large CME that erupted with the destabilizing filament 3 days go swept past earth this morning. While it has only produced minor activity in earth’s magnetic field, a coronal hole stream impact is expected today and this double-event could drive stronger storms than either would have produced individually." end quote.

So there you have it! Just wanting to explore. I am not a conspiracy theorist, not a prepper, and not a Coast-to-Coast fan, (although I have listened). However, I believe there is a correlation between human behaviors and say, for example, the full moon.
Maybe even the New Moon......that takes care of human behaviors all month, thanks!
Maybe animal behaviors too!

CDN and Linda22.
Things are bad in the world, in Vegas, and in our own circle of friends.
So bad, we need to guard our hearts and minds.
Caregivers are doing just that by distracting others with food and garden stories.
That is a good thing, imo.
Thanks for Garden Artist, and MsMadge! Examples of rising above the despair.
