My mom ate Play-doh tonight (I caught it before she swallowed, it's non- toxic anyway). It's not the first time she's done this, but it's the first time we laughed together about it.Thank you Agingcare community.
WWell guys so we made it home they stopped the treatment .so her family wanted us there so her we are on her parents 10, acres with horses and all I'm so thankful she has a.great.family they can help provide I think they were shocked when she put ice.cubes on her biscuit at dinner time thinking it.was.butter but i couldn't.think of.a.better place to be ...
I write more later lauras up. And on the move leg the.fun began because no matter our enviroment it doesn't change the care process ....good luck and god bless Thank you all for the.support it feels good.to know even though I'm alone to a point I'm not ....
Tim, Angels to you and Laura and angels surround that wonderful place that is her family's home. This thread is your home while you go through this most difficult period and I know that we all hope you will stay with us awhile.
Meanwhile2 has walked your path and she is a treasure of love and hope.
Victoria! glad you all were able to get a laugh out of the Play-Doh incident. The laughs are what will save your bacon.
Hi all n Good Morning; We had drop the mil at the respite church n I had already gotten my fasting lab n picked up odds/ends at the grocery. Hubby got him an oil change before school starts n we both made it back in time before 11:30 before alzheimer's association of GA Chapter showed up at r house.
Oh, I Got all the dog hair vaccumed n yet I would love to shave that one dog for he is just shedding clumps all over the rug n I even bathed him n brushed him too! Anyway, the people from alz ass, was great n we kept them for about 2 hrs. I was asking all I could n trying to get information for my dad n sm as well. They were very helpful n we r allow up to a certain amount of fund for a yr for respite care. That was great news to hear for we were worrying about the cost for in case of an emergency situation had to come. they even told us that the Hospice is another resource for emergency situation that open up more options. As for my parents in FL, They told us that it would be best to get an Geriatric Psycharitric Evaluation to see just where both parents r as for their compentent level. That if they did fail to go ahead n get a Guardianship over my dad. They also told us being no one can seem to handle keeping them, that they could use Hospice as well n to check around for temporary solution. I told them I had already referred my middle age brother toward the Area Agency on Aging but they seem to want my brother to keep dad at their house. he is not able to do that for he has a very short fuse-temper n he is out of town on his job tto much. I mean he has a very short-fuse even if you give him too much information he goes balistic. I understand why they r trying to do it for the the person will do much better at a home with a relative than in a NH n it would also keep govt, cost down too. However, if that situation is not going to work for the best interest of my dad then that idea is no good. So, we are hoping to hear from the test results fails then maybe hospice can help for the NH has a waiting period where he is at for 6 - 12 months. If dad does pass the test n he is able to help himself as for personal hygeine Then maybe, just maybe, another relative will feel more comfortable of help taking care of him until maybe his Medicade will be approved for at least temporarly. Because the Rehab people that work with dad said that, he walked to bathroom all by himself during the day when he is with them. Yet, it made no sense to us why he had a depend on at night? Maybe they can check in to why he is wearing them at night. Either way, we have until Aug. 1st before he will be released. As for sm, well she is not corporation with anyone n maybe the test will help give us an idea what his going if anything is going on in her mind. For I think being outside for a wk in that hot temperature has done some damage. One Step at a Time. I hope everyone has a blessed day.... I am going to try n breathe n practice what I preach. ; )
lildeb i like that I say One Day at a time one step at a time sounds better....Hope it all works out for you.... bobbie hope you are having wonderful day & staying cool... Suppose to b only in high 80's this weekend here... Probaly rain but, I cant complain Im in middle of sad corn fields that are in need of rain. Thoughts & special prayers 4 you Tim & Laura & your family..... Hope everyone has good day!!!!! My 18 year old neice came to spend the night with me (my 10 year old is gone) & so we are watching movies & girl talk & eating all day in ac...Gotta love it..(Hope The MIL behaves)
Tim: Thanks for the update. I'm so happy you and Laura are surrounded by family. Good place to be. Has to be a comfort to be surrounded by love.
Update on my dad. Yesterday when I visited, I was happy to see my dad actually rolling his wheelchair down the hall. He wasn't breaking any speed records, but he was moving on his own. Finally, something that he can do on his own and for himself with no danger. The nurses and aids say hi to him and cheer him on and he beams his sweet, crooked smile. This is something he couldn't do at home, but the very wide hallways at the NH give him plenty of space to explore. I spent sometime with him and gave him bunches of hugs. He seemed in much better spirits so it was a really good day for both of us.
Meanwhile: I'm so glad to hear that Omaha's nose is completely healed and he can breath normally.
Diane: You hang in there and keep us posted on the application. I hope you can talk sense to your brother. They just want to verify the source of income, rule out another retirement income of whatever. All he needs to say is, Yes, I gave it to her and I don't do it anymore.
Bless my step dad. He told my Mom he likes her hair long, so she has decided not to make me start cutting it once a month again. Sis and I are going to try and reinforce the long hair looks good on Mom (it doesn't). I'm such a bad daughter. Tim, glad to hear you have the support of family. I can't imagine what to tell a 10 year old, but I would be honest. My husband threw his own going away party, with a keg of beer, pizza, and a roasted goat. He didn't even tell people what it was for. Just invited all his friends. He had a blast. The only good thing about terminal cancer is having time to say goodbye, and make your final arrangements the way you want. I'm not saying Laura would want a beer and pizza party, but maybe there is something she would like to do? When I think of that last party we had for my husband it still makes me smile. One of his best friends dressed up in a Santa suit and sang "El Ranch Grande" in very bad Spanish. I have pictures.
Tbailey, thanks for that is all u can do sometimes for we r only human n one person. Glad to hear you r getting to spend some girl time with your neice now where is the buttery popcorn? " )
Cattail, I am so happy for both of you having a good day for we all know how hard that can be sometimes. I can just see both of yall smiling away as the nurses are cheering him in his 'four-wheeler.' You better be careful for he may be doing some wheelie's before u know it or rolling on some toes. : )
Meanwhile, if they both like it long n think it looks good than, you r not a bad person for they r happy n that is what matters. I love to see those pictures for it sounds like your husband had a grand ole time.
Victoria, play-doh can have some great fruity smells now days n the color is just so pretty. At least u were able to get it before she swollow it. Glad you both got a laugh out of it. I know now not to get the mil any.
Tim, Welcome to this site n I am sorry to hear that the cancer has came back. It is nice to have family support at this time. Keep us posted n Laurie n your family are in my prayer.
As for the parents in Fl, no news I guess is good news so I am going to leave it at that for today. We did get to manage to buy hubby some new work clothes being school is right around. I am glad that he will be going back to work but in a way their goes my naps during the daytime. I think I have been getting spoiled n now when he goes back, their is no way that will happen with me alone with the mil. Also, got some ant killer stuff for they r all out side! I have pear tree n that is part of why I got ants but these suckers r in the grass n between my logs where my four-o-clocks r growning. They r even in front yard buried in the pine straw from the pine tree. I was trying to dig up some dirt to plant a plant n tons of ants all over place n they bite those little suckers too. Well, we got lots of crackling n rumbling in the air but not a bit of rain...
lildeb, try Optigard ant bait. Weapons grade ant killer and a little dab will do ya. I had ants get on the boat when I was tied up in the shed and I got some of that stuff (just go to Amazon and type in Optigard) and put it on the boat and the ants went away and then I put it outside and the ants went away and then I put it on some ant trails by the building and the ants went away. These ants bit as well. They dead now.
Meanwhile, I forgot about that party. So glad you have those wonderful memories. I gave mom big birthday parties and she had a good time.
Tim, one minute at a time and remember to breathe. Love you brother.
Cattails, glad your dad is settling into his quality surroundings!
Ok, have to go for now. For those of you who remember Ted, he is here on the boat with me for a few days and we are having a blast. He's a good guy who took care of his mom to the end and suffered the idiocy of his siblings and is still suffering through them as the slow wheels of probate try to settle the estate. Ted did all the work, the sibs never helped or contributed and all through the process they were absolute jackasses. Nothing has changed; they are still jackasses and Ted is doing his best to piece together his life after his mom's death.
For for now, we are having coffee and shooting the bull and he says hi to everybody!
Love all you guys way more than you could ever know. lovbob
Bobbie... I was getting irritated until I saw your laugh. Then, I busted out, myself. OMG. Such a shitstorm of comments this morning on many threads, without obviously reading through the comments to get the jist (sp?). My blood pressure was starting to rise... taking it way too seriously. And, then, you straightened me right out. I wish I was on that boat! Thanks for the reality check and hoot! I just love you guys.
Good Morning Bobbie and Ted! I am so glad you got together. Have fun, laugh, cry, get drunk, do nothing, breathe in some happiness. For a change, do whatever makes you happy. You deserve it! xoxoxo *´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•` ¤ Chirp Chirp Cricket Hugsღ
Still alive cricket...Sunny day promising to be a beeet too warm but nothing like the high 90's of before. FP goes to Adult day Health today thank God...Run a couple errands...eh...
Jen, I'm glad you're still alive! Are you still wrestling with the kidneys? TG fartpants is going off for the day! yay, happy dance!!
EGL, I copy much of the artwork here and there when I see something I like then I add or change it up a little to suit me. Anything that helps to make us smile is a good thing, :) BTW, welcome to the thread. What kind of doctor are you?
I'm cleaning house today (oh, joy!) I will be peeking in here when I need a sit down break..
Gracious me, my mom isn't to this point yet. Oh what i have to look forward to! I must confess these posts brought laughter even as disgusting as I know these habits are.
Ted, I'm so glad you are with Bobbie. You have been on my mind lately so I was hoping we would hear something about you soon. I'm sorry your sibs are still being assholes. Mine are too, but I'm trying to ignore them. I'll check in again later.
WWow well she is turning fast my best guess off experience is maybe another week I'm so glad she isn't suffering though and that its not being drawn out I have got hospice coming to do the assesment tomorrow who h mind you is also my testing day for my skills test to be an RNA awhile god sure is a funny guy oh well ill make it but its been a good move to here I have gotten time for me to relax a little thanks to the family but its still hard as bell I can't even walk into my house without balling its tough jya know i chose this as a proffesion not realizing my first client was gonna be Laura and go hospice in the same run hahaha funny stuff any way Ty guys god bless and good luck
Praying for you Tim and of course our dear Laura too. I'm not completely filled in on your meeting Laura. I didn't realize that you met her due to her cancer. I knew you referred to her as your client, but I didn't get the connection to your nursing profession. How long have you and Laura been together? Are her children from a previous marriage? Will her family be taking them in? Sorry to ask so many questions. It's just my nature. I always treasure every personal story that is shared. Makes me feel part of a greater humanity.
Sending you and Laura peace and comfort. Love, Cattails
Bobbie so good to hear from you -I had a great time in Maine but too hot for me-I was surprised how hot it gets there in the summer. Have a blast with Ted-hope he gets a chance to write a little note-I am so sorry his sibs are still giving him a hard time they should be so grateful for the care he gave their Mom.
Hi All! Got some much needed rain here last couple days. Temp has come down but humidity still high! Mom is doing well. My bro (who is always there for me) got home from his FL vacations and immediately called me to see what he could do :). So I took off last night to a fest where Kenny Loggins was the headliner! Any of you a fan? Man, he is still singing great and having fun on stage at 64! He played all his oldies and man-it was the most fun I have had in soooooo long! It was a terrific night for an outdoor concert. I have to say-this was definitely a bucket list item! I have loved Kenny's music for sooo long! Will prob pay for it today cause mom is exhausted and whiny from the change of pace but I don't even care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I had some flair for my signature like cricket does-it would be there today! OK, sorry to be so excited but I think you all understand! This should keep me goin for a while! Took tons of pictures and was very close to stage! Soooooo cool!!!!! Love to all! Mame
Mame: Rock on sister!! I'm so happy you had such a fantastic evening. I may not be able to see it, but I can feel the flair in your signature. Hugs, Cattails
Just checking in, I changed hospices, and the social worker suggested Agingcare was a good website for support groups. Mom is still hanging in there, I still have renters craziness, brother issues. But for today I am feeling pretty good, prob because the rent got paid and I can now pay my bills. I live on Cape Cod and there is a big sailboat race going on, so it's fun to watch. A group from Florida said it is just as warm and humid here as there. Hi Bobbie, Ted , Rip I was saw your posts. Hang in there everyone! lov ya...ssk :)
Cricket, your little signs that you do are just so sweet of you to try to help put a smile on someones face. Mame, I am glad you were able to get out n listen to the great Kenny Logging for he is right up in my alley of the 70's music. I like his music n his looks. I am so jealous.... Glad u had a great time. Tim, I think it is always hard on us when it comes to someone we know or related that we love. You n Lauria are in my prayers. All those that I missed on here, I hope y'all have a nice night n a good night sleep.

Cattail, I am so happy for both of you having a good day for we all know how hard that can be sometimes. I can just see both of yall smiling away as the nurses are cheering him in his 'four-wheeler.' You better be careful for he may be doing some wheelie's before u know it or rolling on some toes. : )
Meanwhile, if they both like it long n think it looks good than, you r not a bad person for they r happy n that is what matters. I love to see those pictures for it sounds like your husband had a grand ole time.

I live on Cape Cod and there is a big sailboat race going on, so it's fun to watch.
A group from Florida said it is just as warm and humid here as there.
Hi Bobbie, Ted , Rip I was saw your posts.
Hang in there everyone! lov ya...ssk :)
Mame, I am glad you were able to get out n listen to the great Kenny Logging for he is right up in my alley of the 70's music. I like his music n his looks. I am so jealous.... Glad u had a great time.
Tim, I think it is always hard on us when it comes to someone we know or related that we love. You n Lauria are in my prayers.
All those that I missed on here, I hope y'all have a nice night n a good night sleep.
