When Mom sits and "goes" she oblivious to it but when she's walking (which stimulates the bowels) it makes her feel funny in her Depends. I never ask if she's wet. She doesn't know or denies it. I always change her before each meal and before bedtime. I also check before we go somewhere. Brings back memories of our own child's babyhood.
OMG. I remember driving from the state of Washington state to Alabama with my folks. We had one of those tank station wagons, well, mom and dad in the front, me lying down the whole way in the middle and stuck in the back with luggage and all were my bother and "sick little sister"... LOL maybe that's why she wants me to apologize, not,, how could she remember that one? bobbie, still can't ride in the back seat of a car for more than 30 minutes, ugh!
No, Jam it wasn't you. I would have made a joke and we would both be laughing.. no it was someone I don't know... Hope I didn't start a war here, was only making a joke.....
It was the thread about the lady's mom not wanting to see her. I posted again and said I was using my own frame of reference. Gosh guys, I did not realize how protective ya'll are. I have never been protected in my whole life, so I didn't think anything about making a joke of it. Everyone settle down, she needed to disagree with someone, and , tag, I was it.... love you everyone!!!!!!
jam - i found it and read it , started to say something i thought ah nah , you guys did good , i just felt bad for the 9 yrs old , i would have told that old woman to shape up or ship to nursing home . she has money blah blah oh well ok pblms solved then .... miz- keep us update on mil . my hugs to u and the family , ok i agree i need to get off this thing and go clean my bdrm oh wait a min its lunch ! xoxo
I forgot to tell ya'll , I took Ruth some bananas to the NH this morning, Laughed all the way home, let the NH staff deal with it... guess I am feeling better today,,, thanks guys, love you all
Well, I'm on today and I was reading very carefully so I didn't miss ONE WORD, because a single word, put in a different position in a sentence can change the whole meaning. Symantics. Welcome, William. Would you like to be a Prince? Of the BOAT? I think we have found our official Poo Prince. No Offense, WR. LindaHeart--go to anyone's profile, click on 'activity'. You can see where they have been. I have an investigative mind. No, I'm not nosy, I just check the FACTS, Mam. Just the facts. Ladeeta: I think everyone is entitled to an opinion? Like the other thing we all have, but are more discreet with it than say... WR's Mom, or Jam's col, etc. Sweetheart:) Jam: Will you be my BFF, because I NEVER want to piss you off, and I think I already have at some point. I love the newbies. I am trying to get to know them and their distinctive traits. It is remarkable how all of a sudden, you are known around here. You get adopted, and it's a really good family:) Is Terd King here? Must be having internet connection problems today. Well, hurry up and take some Sennacot or something to move it on here, MR. T. Schitt Change of pace: MIZ, just praying today, unceasingly, for MIL. For you and hubby, family. "Pray without ceasing, Love without Measure. Who can exhaust God's Limitless Treasure." Remember that? Peace. To ALL YOU PRECIOUS ANGELS: Thinking of you, wishing you a lovely day, enjoy what you can. It's the simple things that count. Going for a walk now: It's a simple thing, it's free, I will be with nature, small animals, dodging giant horse terds on the bridle trail, getting my cardio vascular system going, and hopefully, burn some calories so I can have my wine tonight with hubby. Sigh. Love you, Mean it, Ciao. Big Hugs, Christina
Welcome WR, you have landed in a wonderful place. Love, hugs, understanding, and as I found out today, a bunch that is very protective of our feelings.... I would go insane if not for this bunch, and not a bunch of bananas.... sorry WR, you'll have to read old posts to get caught up on the craziness....welcome
Careshare, Wow, We had a similar experience with hospice, the most help I got was a bath aid. The nurse that would come in stay for like 5 min on her computer and when my hubby asked a question about his mother on one of these short visits she acually told him she was doing comp. work on another patient!!! WHAT you are here for 5 min and cant devote it to her. Anywho, they never told us we would be responsible, we were told the morpine would't kill her only keep her comfortable. They gave us a small box with a sticker on it that said "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL YOU ARE DIRECTED TO DO SO" I knew what was in the box was meds for nausea and the rattle extra meds and some other stuff for comfort. But the sibling in laws didn't know that they thought it was some kind of "FINAL DOSE". he he...I didn't tell them, i just let them go on and on about this speacial box. They told us to call them when hospice instucted us to open it. So as they wish when she needed a supository Hospice said to get the speacial box out and open it. So we called them, they rushed in from work and from entertaining each other, gathered around her bed and this box as if we were performing some cerimony. I stood by and held in my laughter as i watched their eyes grow wide in anticipation of opening this final dose, got the box open and yep..nausea meds,suppository, oh and some rubber gloves for administering the medication..he he One daughter acually grabbed the box and dug through it like we had missed something. har har "Who wants to administer it!!! "is this it!!we thought there was something potent in here." nope just some meds for pooping and pukeing are you volenteering? Anywho love the jokes. Im gonna find one but it might take me a minute.
christina...sweet pea you have never pissed me off......I stand by my buds and will be right beside them when it comes time to kick ass if need be.... hurt one and we will be enemies for life. That's just how I am.
Hey...if the pooh comes out at the self-checkout might as well run it through......
I think I need more pain meds...........
I have had experience with hospice with both my dad and then mom....more so with mom. I read some of the horror stories here and I wonder what happened with me...a fluke or what? The social worker at the discharging hospital gave me several to choose from and I didn't know what or whom to choose so I told her to pick one....CrossRoads.....she made all the arrangements and asked me what time to have them at the NH, they arrived straight up at 1400, sat down and all I had to do was read through and sign one piece of paper. When ambulance brought mom in she wasn't on enough oxygen so they immediately had more coming with special masks to "Y" off of 2 tanks. Hospice nurse got there and mom was placed on the air mattress and the NH personnel were hopping when she snapped her fingers. She made sure I didn't need anything then went to work on Mom....thorough exam from head to toe. Told me everything she was going to do...and when I mentioned the "extra" morphine I got a knowing smile. All I can say is they took very good care of her and she was peaceful at the end. And they will be the ones I call for the col when her time comes. Which may be soon if she doesn't get the heck out of my way when I am trying to do something....bout knocked me over when I said I need to turn the furnace off....it's 80 degrees out....NOOOOOOOOOOOO don't touch the buttons. This is the same woman who has had remedial training on the remote control once a week for the last year. Let's open the bedroom window and create some cross-ventilation....would you please let go of the blind cord...now please quit locking the window after I unlock it.......don't you think it would be a good idea to buy stairs for fat-ass dog instead of leaving that HUGE ottoman at the end of your bed, as you trip over it? Here let me catch you.....a little longer on ice and pain meds is okay.........Are you going to wear that robe all day or just keep letting it fall down your body until you trip on the stupid thing? ARRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Good grief I feel like I'm living in a circus...:) And to top it all off college basketball is pre-empting all my TNT shows.....just disgusting......:) apologies to those basketball fans out there!
Bobbie, I've not been around many boats to know if i like them but.....my husband just bought a fishing boat!!! LOL I know not your kinda boat but we live in the middle of the country. Lake boats are what ya get unless you live closer to the bigger lakes down south. I have seen house boats around Branson. My hubby says I should go out with him sometime cause its very relaxing. So we will see. I might become a water maiden before the summer is over:0) If i can get out enough, if not i may just have to dream about it. Hey there is a captains seat right on the front deck for fishing off of. Maybe i will get me a hat lol. Definatley gonna have some fuzzy navel(equal parts fuzzy and navel) and my smoking section will be wherever I am.
allshesgot.....we are neighbors.....kinda sort of....you aren't that far from me. hubby and I have a lake house on Pomme de Terre, live outside of Pleasant Hill. Have a cabin cruiser and brought it back up here to sell, but the nimrod that wanted to buy it couldn't even spell boat, so here it sits. For sale! We head to Branson about every other year just to hang out. Need to go back to Lambert's!!!!!!
Oh JAM!!! I live closer to you than you think. I live an hour north of springfield. We live not far from Pomme' kinda between stockton lakes and Pomme,. You are right in Tornado ally like Me.
hard stuff ! my goodness u guys deserve it . hubby s home , all smiles feelin good , purtty day but awful windy . im still cold and back feelin muscles spamsam . damn it all , i think im gonna grab me some of the hard stuff here soon . try to walk with my dog , maybe she ll have to walk me :-) .
I bought some Irish Beer and plan to have one later. Not in the mood for corned beef and cabbage, though. Mom sleeps a lot, so I feel comfortable going out for 30-45 min several times during the day.(or night, but I'm usually too tired by night) I'm dreading getting Mom into bed later, though. It's getting to be too much for me to do by myself. I think the hospice can send someone in the evenings so I"ll see how things go tonight. Sometimes it's easier to just do things myself.
lhardebeke~ you can join!!! lol, Is it your dd dog? Ladeeda~On that post, which one is arguing with ya? I thought you a lovley awnser. And great ideas.
allshesgot.....that's terrific.....next time I have to go down to Pomme I will give you a holler and maybe we can meet. I have to go down and kinda spruce it up a bit....it's for sale and needs some paint around the front door, siding power washed, garage swept out and get a little more stuff out we want. Leaving a lot of furniture, big screen tv.......if you know someone who is looking for a place let me know....would love to get rid of it....we've outgrown it I guess. My son is not too happy we are selling but when you don't use it, it's time for it to go.
