Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Well my mom was calling me again..I was in the middle of garden web...and I was not sure what she was calling out so I let her call a couple of more times then went in...and then she herself said to me...in german...I called out Anna...so that is what she has been saying...a few weeks ago I heard her call Elizabeth which was one of her sisters...and now she called out Anna...oh shit I just gave her 2 ativan and 2 halperdol and she is still calling out to me...i hate this creepy nervous energy....i don't know how much more I can handle....be back later on been on here way too much today
Uggggh. So go see mom today and she is a little better but still angry and confused, stop by my brothers house to take care of getting some things and then come home to my 17 and 21 year old arguing. 17 year old has 6 friends in the garage and it smells like they have been smoking. I JUST DO NOT NEED THIS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE. He is two months from graduation and quite honestly? I want them both out of the house. I can't handle the mom stuff AND the kid stuff. The constant kid stuff is why my husband, their step dad, left earlier this year. The kids dad is five states away. I am sick, sick, sick of having to be the one to keep the boats afloat. I have no one to come home to to take care of ME. I need someone to care about ME. AHHHHHHHH
Pirate! I'm creeped out by FB too and don't like it there. thought I was the only one. There's a documentary on hulu about FB and how they can change YOUR privacy settings without you knowing it. (constantly check your privacy settings)
on the other hand I respect what FB and Twitter did to facilitate the revolution in Egypt.... with a big cheese from Google.... In the past, you couldn't get real time images out of the country and now everything is right there. in the past the images you saw are what they wanted you to see. with twitter and fb that is no longer. Main reason N Korea doesn't want any of that stuff.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't working this past January 8......... Now i feel good about it. thanks Jen!
Where's true colors and Peachie!!!! kuli and ddotal and and and ...
Here's one....He got in the shower and mom went in to assist and he was....wearing his depends...see he'd just put it on and figured he could just, I don't know, wash his arms and legs I guess...Fun stuff...
I deactivated from Facebook, too. Not my style, and try as I may every once in a while, I cannot do the group think. Reach out, get air. tired of it. Need my energy for real life. Bye, guys. Christina
I used to looove fb, kept me in touch with people i hadn't talked to in a long time. Here latley though i have kinda gotten away from that. I spend more time on this thread. Most of the people I have on fb, have no understanding of all of this. If i posted on here that I was having a bad day with the aunt or, she was acting confused the rumors would fly in this small town. Some of the close friends I did have had no understanding of why she is here. And one was plumb pissed off when they saw the contractors at our home "making our house bigger". You truely find out who your friends are.
Glad I'm not on FB after listening to ya'll. Thought I was too computer challenged, but I get and give ( I hope) what I need right here just fine. Glad to learn what OBMAJ is all about. Wish I could have been part of that one!!
Pirate........Hope you are feeling better..??? You worry me today.
Mom's having trouble sleeping. She's afraid one of my bros. will show up here and she doesn't know how he will act. She thinks she is in IL more often than NC. Someone earlier said they give short direct answers to those constantly repeated questions, and I found out that really does help. If my bro. hadn't been such an ass to her in years past, she wouldn't have those worries now.
Took mom out to eat Fri. during our shopping spree. We haven't done that in a while because of her manners that she realizes, but has no control over. Because of weakened throat muscles from stroke and pulling tubes out, her nose runs while she is swallowing. She always has a pile of napkins and kleenex around her plate when she is done. ( And she is exhausted, therefore doesn't eat enough, loses too much weight, dehydrates, pee stinks, gets diarrhea, goes to hospital, gets fluids, goes home, doesn't eat, loses weight, etc, etc, etc.) Now shse takes megese and I have to feed her every 2 hours she is awake. So we ate at Bob Evans---for the first time ever I was not embarrassed about her table manners. If I have to get her hand out of the mashed potatoes, so what. Cut her sandwich into 4 or 5 pieces, I am there. You guys have given me sooo much more patience for my patient. Where would I have been if not for this thread??!! I found you at just the right time. Just pat yourselves on the back for me. xoxoxo
Seeme, why didn't you want your 12 years old nephew on your couch? He could have pissed the other half of the mattress! Pirate, I am not alone taking care of my mother. It's impossible, at the stage where she is. I have one helper in the morning, one in the afternoon. The evenings and the weekends are mine. I am working hard this period, so I get an additional help for the weekend. Theorically I am free to do what I want all day long, but as I work, my free time is just 2 or 3 hours a day. Which is not too bad, as there are people who don't even have those 2 or 3 hours As for FB, I always say that you have to use it wisely... I never post anything on FB that everybody in the world cannot read. I use it to share photos, everyday news... If I want to go private, I use e-mails.It's a great great way to stay connected to people who live too far away! Bobbie I liked very much what you said about Miz's mother in law. I think that is the real meaning of life... I'd like to be on your deck, smoking drinking and watching the sunset
Rossella, I am with you on Facebook. I LOVE it but I am careful. K, going to bed. Lots to do before we go back up on Tuesday for the wake, including work tomorrow. We looked at some houses on the way back home today. There are a couple of possibilities.
I promise to be more supportive in the future. Just going through some bad shit right now and I don't expect it to end for a few months. I'm sorry.
FaceBook ? I am very grateful for it - the ability to look at my friend's photos all over the world? You Bet! Am I concealing any information about my real identity? Of course! Use it smartly for what you need it for. In my case it meant so much that I could chat with a dear friend who was suffering with the death of someone close. We are time zones apart - yet FB allowed us to share some time & compassion. That ability is something I would have given anything for, as my vibrant mother's health failed .... I was alone - before internet.
So think twice before shunning Face Book my friends. Fake it. Who will know in cyberspace? You can beckme anyone - what you share is your choice. Not much different than this thread - just another avenue with some other abilities ~ like photos!
Yes, filter, filter... I just choose what I want to show and what I don't want to show. Sometimes, in the photos, I erase the dust.... with Picasa. So my room seems cleaner than it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I agree, use FB wisely and when you are able to connect with folks you love all the better. remember that just because you set it up to have certain privacy settings, FB the 'company' can change those and expose you and where you are simply because they are chasing more revenue and you are caught in the middle. The other thing I think is important are the new apps that can ID the location of a picture to within about 25 feet. If you shoot with your cell phone and your cell phone is broadcasting its GPS signal, that signal is encoded in the picture and can be used to locate you, fake name or no. Just saying. there is another app that can ID the background of a picture and locate it. Now that is creepy. I had someone email me and ask after I didn't want to tell them exactly where I was: (I didn't want them showing up because they are a pain in the ass) Send me a picture of where you are! Creepy Creepy Creepy. I haven't had broadcast tv for awhile now and it has made me look into alternative forms of entertainment/learning and that has led me to the huge realm of documentaries, news specials and the like and man I have learned some fascinating stuff. Add to it the additional research online and hence my decision.
FYI, I TRIED to deactivate my account and forgot the password I used. Since I had tried to deactivate and THEN tried to get my password emailed to me, FB had 'trouble' sending me my password. Interesting. Whatta crock. If it quacks like a duck.......
bobbie- is that a drain in the sink picture ? i thought uhh thats not no boat , christina !- ure not on f/b anymore ? waaaaa . gonna miss you . i need ur email addy now that ure not on f/b :-( hope ur not drifting away from us here . pirate- as i was reading how u describe getting ur dead weigh mom up to go bathroom was killin me ! made my body ache and so sore . dad did that too . i realized screw this shit ! told dad if he cant move his legs and cant help me out then he s staying in bed , i crank the bed up so high so i dont have to bend over . i change him in bed ! i love it alot better than havin to lift his dead weigh body up and about then my body is crying screamin . SCREW IT , he will help me if he wants to get out of bed . at night time he has to go bathroom i said uhhh i ll change u in bed , im happy camper and he feels better stayin in bed . i bought depends and bought diapers , diapers for when he s still in bed , depends when he has the enegry to get up . today is his good day , he got up and stood tall and straight and i barely use my muscles . today is a good day for him and me . now im sad to learn christina is not on f/b , i like f/b to see whats up . i love the games on there . i hardly ever say anything on f/b , maybe to click (like) that is about as far as i go . when im deathly bored and feel so all alone , id get online at f/b and hopin to see someone from AG there . when i do im all smiles . yes im errie about f/b , dont post anything there that u do not want even one person to know shit . pictures are ok there is a limitation on pictures , not many , privacy setting u do have to click on it every now and then to make sure , i do not want anybody that is not my friend to know crap about me . so they will have to be my friend before they see anything . miz- thinking of u , was going to text you but decided not to cuz figured u have ur hands full and are busy . text me if you re needin someone to meow at . love you all and have a wonderful day , gloomy out but lit warm 64 degree i think , xoxox
Hey there Linda! nope not a drain...... but it is part of the boat... Linda, you lonely, you just text me. Might take me a minnit to see it but I will be there. C'mon guess again..... lovbob
Hey everyone, up early to call my doctor for a check up on my knee. BG is frothing at the mouth, needing me back on both my legs because she does not want to pay for anymore time for Ruth to be in the NH. It has been blah blah blah for three or four days now about me going to HER doctor, gotta get this fixed, why is your foot and leg so swollen....Well duh, I have a broken bone stupid... of course I did not say that, I just let my eyes glaze over and go "uh huh".So I am hoping they are going to pay for this, My knee is healing fine considering I am an old lady, smoke and am overweight. It would have been so comforting to think she really cared about me and my situation, but it is about the MONEY. Does she even have a clue that I am frustrated, I am basicly a hostage here, no help with day to day stuff, I am getting a little down about not getting to move around, go for a walk, even go visit Ruth without having to be careful to not be on my leg for too long. All the crap with my son, no money, and she NEEDS me to get better. How many times do I have to tell her...IT IS A BROKEN BONE.... A BONE YA KNOW THAT HARD THING UNDER YOUR SKIN THAT HOLDS YA UP... So i will be the dutiful caregiver and go to the dr just to shut her up... My God , who would have thought I would prefer Ruth's sundowning to listening to BG.....Life is so strange... Miz, still in my thoughts and prayers, Pirate and Christina hope you both are having a better day. Rip, great talking and laughing, laughter is such good therapy. All of you with bad backs, don't work too hard today. I think a date with Gary Busey would just take my mind off all this crap......love ya'll
bobbie - if thats not a drain then im scared of it , lol belly button with something stuck in it but again u said its part of the boat, i dont know boat well so i wont be able to figure that one out . :-)
I know nothing about boats besides they sit on the water, move on the water, need water to operate. That is a very nasty looking picture, which Linda is too sweet to mention, of course. Sweet thing. And the other Linda, too:) Sweet and beautiful. NOT like my Mother: Perpetually beautiful, but difficult. Selfish people who only think of their own needs are difficult to be around. However, I think I created the vicious cycle for myself, since I had to become self-sufficient at a very young age, and now I am so multi-efficient that those around me take me for granted. But, I don't want to be like her: helpless and pathetic, so I will just be thankful I am who I am, even though it is a lonely journey.
good morning, the nurs's aid just left, she is one of the nice ones, so I had someone to talk to for awhile. Mom has been more alert the last few days, so that's good. I have to spoon feed her stuff, like oatmeal, yogurt, etc. It's funny how we can adapt to all the changes. At first I was kinda freaked out about spooning food into my mom's mouth, but now it just is what it is, and isn't so bad.jWell, actually, it is kinda gross. I watched the apprentice, too. thanks, pirate, for mentioning it, it was interesting, entertaining. Had to see Gary Busey and the baseball player who sat around watching everyone else do all the work. bobbie, at first I thought that thing was a dish of mussels and some other gross seafood thingy like octopus, but now I think it must be your new bowthruster. I know you have wanted one to make landing the boat easier. Hi Christina, has it stopped raining there yet? Ladee, what is BG thinking? a broken bone usualy takes 6 weeks to heal, at least. Tell her you need a raise when you get back. My brother didn't show up again yesterday, two weeks in a row. I'm gald not to have to see the bassturd , actually. I had a better day without his annoying visit. Sounds awful, but oh well. Hope all are ok today. ssk
christina, it's okay. Your exhaustion is so understandable. I sure don't think anything bad about how you are with your mother. Like bobbie says, breath. You are going through such a hard time and I am so sorry for that. Love you!!
