Wow. You too, Linda? Yes, it's so good to hear and not just nod and smile cause you don't know what someone said. I should try that at work. When people come in and b$##%, I just say excuse me and take em out. ;) I'm glad your pa is feeling better. Well, I gots to go eat some lunch. Don't work too hard.
Hi, speaking of hearing, I have Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, and dr says just have to live with it. I have gotten used to it now, but in the begining it would drive me nuts. Now I only notice it if it's really quiet or if I think about it, like now . Shoot, I'd better think of something else. Linda, walking in the snow with the dog sounds nice. hi miz and bobbie and whoever else is here.
sskape, if the Tinnitus gets to be too much for you they DO making hearing aids that mask the ringing. I have it too but the hearing aids that I wear for my hearing take care of the ringing too. Just an FYI in case ya didn't know.
Hubby is out snow blowing, bless his heart. He's gonna take me to work and my wedding ring to the jewelers to replace the little diamond that came out. We have some small loose diamonds so hopefully one of those will work and it won't cost us much. I told him I want that ring fixed before our vacation. :)
Good Afternoon My Crew of Angels, Well i did not get to sleep until about 530 am......This seems to be my new pattern lately. Thanks to my angels and the information on the web about grieving, i realize now that this is pretty normal, all that i have been experiencing. Honestly, i never imagined that grief takes on this whole meaning for me now. When i was 18 my older brother passed away in a freak accident, i understand now somewhat what my parents went through and why they became so isolated for so long. i think i was young and did not really understand. Having the opportunity to take care of papa was a great gift, although this sadness is so overwhelming i am beginning to understand why i feel the way i do. Getting more snow here tomorrow 3-5.... not to bad..... kind of looking forward to it for a change. So thank you to all for all of your help and guidance. OK here is a papa story...... Just before he passed while he was still awake part of the day, i went in to change him and we talked and he did not realize who i was so he was telling me that he was so glad that his daughter left her job to care for him, he said " oh she is peach and he was glad it was her and not anyone else: then i left the room for 2 min , went back in and he told he how he was talking to this real nice girl with glasses like mine. I just smiled and said is that right..... miss papa, but i know that the angels up there are taking good care of him..... love all you...... angie
oh angi that is so sweet of ur dad , u know u did a very good job taking care of him and u know that he s soo glad to have you to take care of him .you know it cuz he said it out loud , as i know my pa is greatful to have me into his life . i love my daddy . earlier i took dad to bathroom and he sat on the toilet and said wheres ur momma ? i shook my head and said oh dad . he said it again wheres ur momma ,? i grin and i said im the momma and gma too , ure the daddy , gpa and great great gpa too , he sat there and was thinking . then i ask him if he be intersting in v8 juice , oh yes and took him back to his chair . whew . i never did clean my house dman it ! its all your fault ! keep drawin me back to this thing :-) . come back again so i can flop here and read and weep and smile and grin , isnt life wonderful ? got laundry going tho , mm so i did do something and took care of pa , does that count ? oh yes i shoveled the snow too , oh hell i ve been busy ! ah i still have dishes to do and trash to burn and take care of my doggie , oh yes going to throw pork roast in the oven , yum yum . caught my cat louie layin on the couch , where i sleep at all the tie , his head onmy pillow and sleeping like a baby . thought about cover him up with my blanket , lol ok back to work cuz boss says break time is over . bobbie hows the boat ? kitty ok ? how about u ? u doing ok too ? later . xox xoxo
So sweet, Angie, and Linda, stories about your papas;) I miss my sweet Daddy, too, but it's been so many years. Here's a cute one about my Mom: few weeks ago in doctor's office he was checking her memory after taking her off certain meds. He asked her, " who is this young lady(cough) who is with you today?" "She's my best friend and I couldn't do anything without her"--and she got a little teary. I said, "but what's my name, Mom?" she said, "Why? Don't you remember"? Then she giggled. Really, no kidding. She is Irish and has a great sense of humor. I'm trying to think of more nice stories of my Mother, instead of ragging on her all the time:) Hugs, christina
A couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating the husband's 60th birthday.
During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.
The wife said, "We've been so poor all these years, and I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could travel all over the world." The fairy waved her wand and POOF! She had the tickets in her hand.
Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'd like to be married to a woman 30 years younger than me."
A WONDERFUL CAREGIVER, on a VERY RARE respite to play golf, stood over her tee shot for what seemed an eternity; looking up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind direction and speed. Driving her partner nuts. Finally her LOVING PARTNER says, "What's taking so long? Hit the blasted ball Take out some of your frustration!"
The CAREGIVER answers, "My SELFISH SIBLINGS are up there watching me from the clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot."
"Forget it! You don't stand a chance of hitting them from here! Let's move a little closer"
(Modified for the Crew members with selfish siblings! Enjoy!)
Cuz, I copied your list of remedies. I already knew about Coca Cola and about honey for wounds (I cured my dog who had been hitted by a car with honey) but I can't wait to try Alka Seltzer and Gatorade for headache! Was it Gatorade? Well does not matter I have copied it. Don't worry I have not renounced to anything in my life just to clean my house. I dust it just when it is necessary because I see that the dust takes a Hoover to draw me! Good night everybody I have to work!
Snowed stopped here. We got probably 5 total inches. Work was sooooo slowwwwww. Guess people didn't wanna get out in it. The sun finally came out about 4:00. Was nice to see. Back in a bit.
An older man found love again. He found a bride, also in her later years She could sing like a bird. He fell in love with her, her voice, her softness and everything about her.....She agreed to married him. He was elated and stunned with the reality that he would spend the rest of his years with this beautiful angel. On their wedding night, she took off her wig, took out her teeth, took off her makeup, and took off her falsies. The man stood there and said, "For God sakes, sing....!"
Yes, Miz, I believe it does!! My 83-year old mother told me that joke! She's adorable and I love her. She looks like Betty White!
She was diagnosed this week with a cancerous breast tumor. They removed it and we shall see what happens next. No radical treatment because of her age. Can you believe that? How much would that suck, after 83 years? Not fair....she's ok though and so I am. But.....more snow tomorrow!! Yikes!!!
This is in response to a comment from a while back...
I think it's GREAT that the caregivers, who are going through the grieving process, are still here with us, who are still in the caregiving role! We have much to offer each other in the way of support, encouragement & friendship!
Hey Bobbie Ma came out of the Dr's office with a smile. She's starting to realize that she is blind in one eye , deaf in one ear, but still wants to know when she can drive again. The Dr told her that the meds (mainly morphine) really knock the socks out of older people and it takes quite awhile to get strength and stamina back. She thinks she is alright but she gets tired real quick and sleeps alot. I guess she can't figure out why we don't want her to drive yet. Just stubberly independent. Joyce's mom is doing fantastic for being 93. Back to walking around and enjoying the company where she lives again. miz I have had the aids for three yrs and yes I like them cause now I can hear the birds etc. that I could never here before. My first reaction to them was when I took a leak it sounded like Niagra Falls. Never noticed that before. Also heard the stones crunching under the shoes when ya walked. All kinds of strange sounds. Also hear the wife now when her knitting needles clang togather. Told her to quite them down lol.
Lost in space A plane was on its way to Chicago when A blonde in economy class got up and moved to the first class section. The flight attendent asked to see her ticket, then told her that, since she paid for economy class, she would have to go back. The blond replied, "I'm a blonde, I'm beautiful, and I'm going to Chicago. I'll stay right here." The attendent spoke to the pilots cabin, "A women from economy is sitting in first class and won't move. The co-pilot came back to explain that she must move back. "Nope," said the girl. "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Chicago and I'm staying right here". The co-pilot advised the pilot that he should have the police available when they land to arrest the blonde. "You say she is blonde? I'll handle this, I'm married to a blonde and I speak their language." Back in the first class section he wispered something in the girl's ear. I'm sorry" she said as she walked back to economy. The flight attendent asked him "What did you say"? "As I said I speak blonde," said the pilot. "I simply told her , "First class isn't going to Chicago."
You know you're well into the twenty-first century when: 1. You've just tried to enter your password on the microwave. 2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. 3. You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He e-mails you back from his bedroom. "What's for dinner." 4. Your daughter sells Girl Scout cookies via her website. 5. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screensaver. 6. You pull in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
Hello? Good Morning! Is anybody out there? You HOO? Are we waiting for the 9,000th post? I'm not going to do the one word per post just to get it. No. Wake up, wake up, whoever you are and get your fat butt out of bed and into the BOAT! I'm alone in the moat!!!
It's 8AM and everyone here has gone to work. Mom is still in bed and we already have about 5" of new snow. It doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon. So I guess I'll get Mom up and fed then bundle up and get out there and start cleaning! Got to at least get part of the driveway done for Lex. She gets out of work at 10. Going to give the snow blower a shot! Wish me luck. I'm still too sore from the last storm to try shoveling. Good luck to all of you that have to do the same!!! Oh yeah! Lots of coffee first!! Right Bobbie?
Come on, People! I've already got BOAT TIME! I get all the BIG NUMBERS! Let's GO!!! Wake up, Captain! Miz, Deefer, Linda, Elizabeth, Jam, Peach, Angie, Rossella, CUZ-- so faithful, sniff sniff. I'm alone in the Moat, someone please help me into the Boat, it's getting late, I don't want to wait...
Kathy--Good Morning. How are you feeling? Are we alone here? Boy, you must be some strong woman to do all the snow shoveling!! We do what we have to do, right?
