allshegot I forgot to mention that I filled the trench back in today and also am working at my ma's house cause I took out her tub and built a fullsixe walkin shower for her cause she has a hard time raising her leg up too get in the tub. She really likes it. Now all I have to do is repaint the bathroom so the new shower does'nt look out of place. It is a 45 mile round trip and with gas at $4.25 thats killing my pocket book. I'm more busy now being retired than I was when I was working full time. Something ain't right there. Have a good night now. I didn't have any jokes for ya tonight. All repeats. Hugs to everyone Love Cuz
Hi crew. The wife's Aunt update. They put a tube into her lung today and sucked out a lung cookie so big that the dr said a normal oerson wouldn't be able to cough it up. She has shown some improvement but it will be a long road from now on. My wife's other Uncle had a quadruple bypass surgury and came out smelling like a rose. Will have to go to a Christian Rest Home for therepy but not for very long. We took my ma to the eye dr today and he said that her caterac on the right eye is the denses he has ever scene in his practice. It is 100% covering her right eye. Her left eye is 80% covered so May 23rd she has the right one fixed and around 2 weeks later will have the other one done. She's 86 and hasn't driven in 2 months now and we are afraid that with the eyes being fixed she is going to want to drive again. I hope not cause her reaction time is really getting slow. We'll have to see what happens. Pirate So sorry to hear about your loss. At least like was said before, she has no more suffering. We are happy about that. It will be a hard road for awhile but you always have the good memories that last forever. Love a hugs to you and your family. Cuz
The last time my mom went into the hospital,we knew what her wishes were. My dad could not make that decision, no surprise there, so my oldest sister and I made the decision. It must have been before DNR's, it was over 25 years ago, I do not remember. But I never felt bad, or guilty, because she had talked with us about this. Sometimes, we as humans just have to let God do His job. I could not have looked my mom in the face if I had interfered with her wishes. She was tired, she was so sick, she deserved the peace she requested. That to me is love. Just simply abiding by their wishes.And when it is my turn, I pray someone does as I requested..
Rossella, thank you, It means a lot coming from you, because Bobbie is right, you are wise. That is why when you get started on your book, and you must pursue that dream, you will get to put your words out to the world and give us beauty and something to think about....much respect for you, and hugs, literally, across the miles..
Linda H - When my dad went into the hospital in March, they started asking about a living will. I told them he has a living will and wants no extraordinary measures. They had to get the ER doc in the room to hear him say "Just let me die" before they would identify him as a "do not resuscitate". I am really trying to respect my dad's wishes despite my own feelings of should I do something? It's so hard but we also have to truly and objectively look at their quality of life. When I look at my dad, I see he hasn't been able to live his life the way he wants for at least 3 years. So when he says "just let me die" I know I am the one that needs to make sure his wishes are granted despite my own feelings of wanting to hold on. Much like you with your pa. Even if they have some dementia, I know my dad is as clear as can be about that issue and has been for some time. It won't make it any easier when his time comes but at least he has made it clear what his wishes are. My motto these days is just keep him comfortable. Hugs to you ( I know how hard it is ) - Kuli
Ladee, you are really an angel. The things you wrote were so touching. I forgot to give you a star, I give you two stars, now! Consider yourself bi-starred. Shari, welcome to this bunch of crazy and wonderful people. HB, your last post was futuristic. I give you an idea: One of next posts, you could use the style of English 19th century, sort of Jane Austen. I would appreciate it a lot. I know you can do it. It would be hilarious to hear about these subjects in a Victorian style. I have less work lately so I shall try to write my own book which is just in my mind. It has nothing to do with caregiving... Deef, I am glad you leave for a short trip with Hubby. I am planning another weekend out. We need it. Jam, sometimes I think of you sitting in the porch and looking at wildlife, all the beautiful animals that you see from there. To the other ladies that are fighting with their parents health: I wish you strength and patience! To Bobbie: thanks for calling me "wise", I feel rather cynical lately. I guess it's a mechanism of protection against suffering!
bobbie- i know what ant killer ure talkin about , done forgot the name of it , it doesnt work cuz like i said i have a bigggg hotel ants under my house . it would take years to kill em all . am tempted to crawl under the house and bomb em bastards . you said it well to pirates , she is our old timer pal . always get exciting when i finaly see her name here . wish peachie would show up . missin her terrible .
ladeeda - yes i agree with the dr , he said man at his age . high risk and raised his eye brows at me . i wouldnt want to have it done myself either . thank you for ur kind words about me begina good daughter , :-) youre a good person and u do indeed have a very big heart to take care of ruth and ure willin to do it again . big hugs to u dear .... oh my its ten pm and i think i shall go lay down and flip channels , oh im missing crimnal mind oopsie do . later gator xoxoxo
I'm sorry for your loss, Pirate, but she is not suffering anymore, now. You have to be glad that you have fulfilled her wish to stay home, and you took very good care of her, both from the medical and emotional point of view. In short, you couldn't do better than that! I am sure she has felt it all the way through. It is a nice way of leaving! To feel to be loved. Peach I am sorry to read about the devastation in your area and I am glad that you are okay. Ted, congrats for your new job... It will help you a lot. A big kiss to all of you...
Glad to hear Peach and Larry are okay. Scary and sad couple of days for all those in the storm path. Linda, Listen to your Pa. He is a good man and knows what he wants. You are so good to him and he knows it! As for ants, I will start finding them little tiny grease ants pretty soon. Hate them buggers! Need my glasses to see them. They like the cat food, but love to get in my cabinet and the peanut butter jar! Mom is asleep, so think I will hit the hay early tonight! Bobbie, I use that white moisture barrier on Mom's butt, but it don't shine!!!
LindaH, so sorry Pa has such limited options. I know you are worried and hope you feel alright about following his wishes. If I were him, I don't think I would do the surgery either. Sometimes they know what is best and he knows what he is not willing to put himself thru. I am sorry you are having such a hard time, but you are a loving daughter, being with him, helping him the best you can under the circumstances. I have a lot of respect for you. hugs
Linda!! glad to hear that Pa is better and that you guys have some answers. I have a real good ant killer.... will get the name and post it tomorrow. Bait and they get it and take it to the nest and that's that. lovbob
Hey Peach! glad you and Larry are ok! wish you would post some cause we all care for you both so! How awful to see all of that devastation and all of the lives lost and changed forever.
Jen! Your grandfather is a putz. Strength to you girl...
Ladeeda! thanks for the moving fairies. Nik and I pack and sort and then sit down and play poker. and then get up and pack and sort and then play poker. We are approaching full on crazy from the just a little disturbed that we were earlier.
Shari! yup! this is the place and there ain't no place like this place so this must be the place.... you are here among friends who are walking the walk so you'll get all kinds of love and support and I hope you like boats and jokes cuz we got it all.... If Granny won't take a bath, give her a misting of Febreeze. I did that with my mom when she got ornery about the bathing issue and it really worked. I told mom, I am not living with stink and that's that. they will get real controlling and you have to set boundaries or they will have you going crazy. My mom made me crazy in other areas...... still dealing.... These caregivers saved my bacon big time. If you want some laughs start reading the thread from the beginning... It's not necessary by any means but if you're up and on the computer and want to get happy... this is real caregiving, not what someone thinks it is at the doctors office.......
Pirate just lost her mom this morning and she is one of our long timers. what a journey and Pirate is a good good daughter who took care of her mom all the way. We love you Pirate!
DEEF!! Queen of the ButtShine! Slap a wax on that ass....
Ok, Nik just showed up with 2 movies and a Cadbury bar. Things are looking up.. I'll check in later.

Hey everyone, surreal is right, I wish it was a lie, but it would be hard to make up stuff this STUPID....I just don't know...I get $100 a month. and I owe $4.000 in vet bills, just got a call for another test, man we can't do it we just can't! He has the money but it may as well not be there....whatever...Could be worse, a lot of people lost loved ones in the South, God I hope everyone here There is OK... Grandpa is 90, about three decades Older than any one in his family ever got....
Glad your mother is at Peace Pirate, don't push yourself too much take good care of yourself, you worked very hard and long and deserve a break.
Opened windows here, cool but gotta air the sick out, the smell however will not be going. One benefit of my cold, I have not been able to smell anything for a week...
mixed blessings eh and now mom is coming down with it...yes she will blame me. what ever...nothing I can do...
Hope everyone is doing OK, seems a lot of us have had losses so close together I hope all are healing and resting from such long and hard labors...
Oh praying, praying for peach. And everyone else. Welcome sheri. Everyone else sorry bout the jump in earlier. Update on it. I wentt it asked if she would go strait to town strait back. Make the trip half time. She said oh you guys will run around for 2 or 3 hrs. I said no we won't I promise. Be back by dark. Would you like me to ask fil to come up to thhe house so your not all alone while we are gone. Hell no I don't!!! Okie dokie. Obvieosly being controlling so I. Picture myself in a dress with a sword:) and say ok I would be happy to have him come sit but if you'd rather not, I'm going on will be back by dark. I'm back home now.
Peach - I'm so glad you're ok although I know it's little comfort knowing so many are hurt or gone. I was looking at some of those pictures today and it's so frightening to think that can happen anywhere. We in Illinois know that terror well. Again, so glad you and Larry are ok. Shari - you have not just found someplace that understands your struggles, you have found family. I too found this site after a desperate prayer for help. The "angels" here are truly angels who are here on earth to not only care for their loved ones but for each and every caregiver who is lucky enough, blessed enough to find this site. Welcome and I hope you find the support you need among us. Kuli
Thank you SO much for caring!!! VERY scary! Most devastation about 15 miles from us both north AND south...we were right in the middle! Restaurants, stores...Places we've been to MANY times now all gone! Much despair! Many hurt. 8 dead. Just found out about a new born little boy that didn't make it. Many have no homes. Looks like a war zone! Larry & I are both ok, just in shock & very grateful!!!!
Newcomers, Peach is a wonderful friend I met here. She lives in northern Georgia. Safe for now ... I heard May is officially tornado month. Not a good thought
Welcome Shari, yes you are in the right place. If nothing else you will not feel alone here. This sight is full of "sanity savers" , all the way from laughter to shared grief. So keep posting and letting us get to know you. Jam, have you thought about opening a car wash? You have a second calling, some people pay big bucks for the "detailing" lol deefer, why aren't you rich instead of so damned tired??? You need to patent some of these ideas, or when you start your sight, you can have a "special of the week". Sound like a plan?? Bobbie, the moving fairies I sent haven't showed up yet?? Damn and they sounded so reliable.. you know, like siblings... ASG, you have kids, surround her like an armada and run ASG, run rip, did you and the girls get outside today?? And just throw those dirty dishes away and get paper plates and bowls plastic spoons and forks . With as many diapers as we all throw away everyday, I doubt we are contributing to saving the planet anyway... hugs across the miles
omg..............the col has a twin and it appears she is living with Shari.......................I just got through taking meds down and she is watching wedding stuff, although she did get her bath today.
She won't take the meds for behavior that they tried to give her w few years ago. She's had a rough day mood wise. She wouldn't run away she's not that way. Good point though. Sundowners is interesting. Hmmm
Well, I have truly been blessed. Don't know how I arrived here, but I guess it's God's answer to my desperate prayer the other nite. Anyway, thank you all from the bottom of my lonely heart for your support. XXXX Shari
ASG, sounds like she might have sun downers. My mom would get very anxious in the evenings. Never wanted me to go anywhere. Do you have anything to give her for anxiety. I used to give Mom 1/2 of a Xanax. I guess it has to be your call. Stress can cause strokes. Does she get really stressed out? It is a very tough call. Sometimes I would just tell Mom that I had to go out and i would be back by a certain time and she would be fine.
If she is alone, I would either take her with me or not go. She may get really confused and try to go out to look for you. Sometimes they hyperventilate when agitated and get very confused.
K guys need quick advice, needing to run to walmart 20 min away, would take a couple hrs. Aunt is having a meltdown. Says she gives up acts shitty, has meltown, says it gets lonly and dark in the eve, told her would be back by bedtime,do I go or stay home??? Hoping she will be better tommarrow?
Shari, Keep that plunger handy! Mom has a poopy fits and can't go, but when she finally does, look out. Before you know it, there is an alligator in the toilet! Yep that plunger will come in handy!!!
Gee, can't tell you all how good it feels to laugh again. Mom is glued to the TV as usual watching all the royalty crap in her usual attire. PJ's. I still find love for her even tho' I just think she's getting away with it. Had a small argument earlier about the big "B" time. (Bathing). Guess I'll let her get away with it for a little longer. Hubby is coming home shortly; gotta' start dinner. Can only find a plunger anyway, no squegee. Actually she's not quite there yet. One thing to be thankful for. Tomorrow's another day, do have the depends on hand anyway. Later. Thx from Shari
