Lildeb, The wheelchair is great! Mom is more comfortable with the thickly padded seat and back. The frame actually has some spring to it, so when she is agitated and the PD gets her body going with movements she can't stop, it seems to calm her down. When I am home alone with her, I often retreat to my apartment on the other side of hers. I have cameras that are tied into my laptop and can watch her every move. As she needs constant care, Someone is pretty much always with her. So when I have no help, I park her in front of the TV with a show she likes, and leave her alone for a while. She seems the calmest when there is no one to distract her. I get to knit or catch a show on TV and can watch her too. Even though she doesn't grasp too much anymore, she still likes her solitude once and a while. By the way, I'm a short person too! I'm 5'1" and my daughter is only 4'10". Everyone else in my family is much taller than me. Guess I belong to the milkman!!! Stormy, The heartburn may be because you have no food in your stomach. Try some toast or other bland food and get something into your stomach so all the acid doesn't back up on you. I have lived with acid reflux since I was 13, and it's no fun! Hope you feel better soon. Had to get things for Mom at Walmart today and ran into a childhood friend I haven't seen in years. She moved to Florida many years ago and was here visiting her sister. She saw me and thought of Mom when she was younger then I spotted her sister and we both realized who we were at the same time! Just talked for a few moments, but wish we had more time. It kind of brought tears to my eyes for all the years that have gone by and how we spent so much time together when we were growing up. Sorry, I started crying just writing this. time for a break.
Thank you deefer and lildeb for being so welcoming. I am so glad to finally have an outlet for everything I am feeling and people who can commiserate. My dad is still living at home but I cook and clean for him and do all the driving.
Good morning!!!!!! Sorry about yesterday. Momentary meltdown. I think my hormones are letting me know they are still capable of SCREWING with me! I'm 61 for God sake! Be DONE and GONE!!!!! Got up just in time to see a beautiful sunrise. Didn't get dressed and outside to take a picture in time and was bummed out. Haven't slept well in many nights. Restless legs are working overtime. Or, maybe it's just the full moon we just had. Mom is already getting restless and I will need to get her up before help gets here, but I thought I would let you all know I'm okay. My "baby" brother called yesterday and is going to come visit Mom either today or tomorrow. Hope he brings the kids. My nephew is 5 and a real hoot! He and I get into all kinds of trouble when he is here. Ruby, his 12 year old sister, is too grown up for our highjinxs, but Reed is always ready to rumble with me. I have no grandchildren, so I latch on to any kid I can! Told my bro Mom needs night time diapers, so he ordered them while we were on the phone. One less expense! He is Mr. MOm by day and a musician at night and on weekends. Luckily they have to gigs in New York City anytime soon. It's cold here this morning and I need to get the pool drained a bit more and take all the hoses off and get the pump disconnected and into the cellar. It's going to be cold doing all that but it needs to get done. There is talk of a North Easter coming up the coast next week. I am not ready for snow yet. Made a pot of chicken tortellini soup yesterday. Perfect soup weather. Looks like Mom dosed off again. She had a good day yesterday and was in a good mood when I got her from daycare. She actually fed herself supper without making too much of a mess. I let her sit a bit too long after her PM pills and had a really hard time getting her ready for bed. Think I did something to my let arm/shoulder when muscling her around. She was practically asleep on her feet! I think she was out when her head hit the pillow and that's a good thing! By the way, I just read on another thread that Austin's Mom passed away after an illness that started right after Maxine got home from her wedding trip. I'll be back later! Hope everyone has a peaceful day.
Glad you feel better this morning, Deef. I've been pining for Massachusetts since I got back from my trip, so its nice to hear you say its cold and there could be snow next week! Sorry! This time of year, before the real winter begins, and in the summer, I always feel a little tug on the heart from that area of the world.
I'm heading to the hospital this morning. My good friend's son has severe disabilities. He's an adult now, but functions like a non verbal toddler. He aspirated the other night. I know this sounds awful, but I was wondering if it was a good thing or bad, that she found him in time. She's been tube feeding, diapering him, bathing him his whole life. Its been her whole life for the past 20 years, and with a young person like her son, when does it end? When she dies? Then she worries about what will happen to him when she's gone. I'm ranting. I've just got to go be supportive this morning. Her son and one of mine are the same age. When we had them in strollers, we always thought they'd be best buddies too, not realizing the extent of her son's disabilities. Its all so sad. My boy is off at college, chapping my ass with his antics, and hers is still stuck in infancy/toddelerhood. Sometimes, having a chapped ass is a good thing. Got to go shower and get going. I missed visiting hours last night and they wouldn't make an exception. Maybe I should get some donuts to feed the nurses. Its always good to grease the nurses' station! Hope everyone has a good weekend. I wish we were on the sea wall, bundled up, with a thermos of that soup, Deef!
Hey everyone I am starting to feel alot better, thank the Lord. I never had a stomach virus to take this long to get over. I felt like hell yesterday. Sis told me to take one of dads omepazoles she said that it is suppose to last for 24 hours so i took one and it maybe lasted about 20 minutes then the heartburn was back so i took some baking soda water and finally that helped. And i picked connor up from school came home and ate some chicken broth and a bunch of saltine crackers and i think that broth helped, it felt good going down my throat. Started feeling better after i ate that. Then last night i started tackling santizing (sp?) the bathrooms and bedrooms. I still have got to work on connor's mattress where he threw up on it and it went through to the cloth of the mattress. I worked on it some the other day but i was still feeling nausea from it and had to quit. And i need to vaccum the hallway and bedrooms and shampoo the carpet. I want to try to get rid of all traces of that stomach virus. Well, dad had a chest xray last week because he said his right lung was hurting. It's the same one that he has had pleural effusion in and they have drained it several times. I picked up the report yesterday and it said everything was normal. Said the reason for the xray was for bronchtis. So i guess thats what his got. I dont know if that will show if the pleural effusion has come back or not. Well it did say no infiltration. So who knows what is going on. Deef- you were right i think i needed to eat, but i had no appetite plus everything i ate gave me the hb. But i do feel better. Thanks for the advice. I am so sorry that you got upset, sometimes it is good to have a good cry. But i know how it is to see old friends it takes you back to a simpler time when things were actually fun and happy. Take care friend and hugs to you. lil deb- how are u doing? Cat- I am still thinking of you and what your family must be going through. My prayers are with you. Love and hugs Austin- So sorry to hear of your mom's passing and the conditions that it was in with hurricane Sandy. Prayers for you and your family. Bobbie- Hey there, hope you are doing good. Book-I am sorry you are feeling sick, having the cold sucks. I know i sure have had enough of them. Several months ago i was getting one every month right before my period. It was like clockwork. And it was all coming from this thyroid mess. Has your mom's fever gone down? I hope you and her feel better soon. Hugs to you. Well i need to get off of here and do something even if its wrong. Talk to ya'll later. Love and hugs stormy. Eldest- Welcome to the group!!!
Hi -just trying to get caught up this last month is a blur first the wedding in Calif then home then back to PA then my mother died and the storm kept us in PA then on Thur the funeral-we got our power back yesterday and we have another storm due this week. I finally got on facebook today and heard from high school classmates for the first time since graduation in 59'.It will take me awhile to get caught up again with all of you great folks.
One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail and tripped over a large snake and fell, kerplop right on his twitchy little nose.
'Oh please excuse me,' said the bunny. 'I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and can't see.'
'That's perfectly all right,' replied the snake. 'To be sure, it was my fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?'
'Well, I really don't know,' said the bunny.. 'I'm blind, and I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out.'
So the snake felt the bunny all over, and he said, 'Well, you're soft, and cuddly, and you have long silky ears, and a little fluffy tail and a dear twitchy little nose. You must be a bunny rabbit!'
The bunny said, 'I can't thank you enough. But by the way, what kind of animal are you?'
The snake replied that he didn't know either, and the bunny agreed to examine him, and when the bunny was finished, the snake asked, 'Well, what kind of an animal am I?'
The bunny had felt the snake all over, and he replied, 'You're cold, you're slippery, and you have no balls...You must be a POLITICIAN.'
A man is recovering from surgery when the nurse appears and asked how he's feeling. "I'm ok." says the patient, "but I sure didn't like those four- letter words the doctor used during surgery." "What didd he say?" asks the nurse ?" "Oops!"
A preacher wa looking for a used lawnmower. He found one at a yard sale that the ownwer's boy, Jim, happened to be manning. "This mower work son?" the pracher asked. "Sure does," Jim said. "You have to pull hard on that cord, though." The preacher bought the mower. When he got ready to mow, he yanked and pulled and tugged in the cord, No luck. It wouldn't start. Back he went to the yard sale place. You said this would work if I pulled on the cord hard enough," he complained. "Well," Jim said, "maybe I didn't mention that you need to cuss sometimes." The preacher was taken aback. "I haven't done that for many years!" he said Jim smiled. "Just keep yanking on that cord, Pastor. It'll come back to you."
Hey Austin: Glad to see you on GO. You have been sorely missed. I'm so grateful to know that you have electricity now. I'm so sorry for all you have been through for the past 6 weeks or more. And the loss of your mom. You posted on my wall that she thanked you by name. That must have been a special moment. Tell us more when you have had a chance to rest and get caught up.
Thinking of you and sending white light. Love, Cat.
Just a quick note...most of the details I posted is in the Caregiver - How are YOU thread. I took mom to the ER this morning. Arrived 930am - left 330pm. Mom has bronchitis. And I am now experiencing the full blown flu - sore throat, stuffy nose vs runny nose, coughing, sneezing, flu headache and just now - the body aches. Despite feeling like a bulldozer ran over me several times, I still came home, changed their pampers, made sure they had dinner, throw in 2 loads of laundry before I finally had my dinner. I'm really tired...so, I will keep this short..
Man! the bosses are going off-island on Thursday for the weekend! I need to really stuff myself with DayQuil. The only one I have on stock - expired last month. But I will still take it until I can go buy more tomorrow. Later!!
(You know, I can't stand OJ. But when I get sick, I drink that like it's water! It tastes sooo delicious. I keep drinking it until the day it goes back to tasting yuck. By then, I know that my body no longer needs it and I can stop drinking it.)
Cat thank you for your concern-that was an event my mother actually saying thank you to me the night before she had her massive stroke. That hospital Leighi Valley Ceder Crest is an amazing place and allor almost all the staff were so great -some docs needed better people skills-but generally everyone went out of their way to be helpful.
Today at work, a male customer came in. He just talks and talks and talks. Finally, towards the end, he asked, "How many older men of of their late 50's do you know that is healthy?" I shrugged. He then asked me how old I was...I paused trying to figure out how to tell him it's none of his business. So finally he asked if I was under 40. Shook my head. Over 40? Nodded. How many years over? 6. He then asked me if I have any health issues. I replied, "Off and on." He asked what is my health problems. I really didn't it was none of his business.
Remember the time a few months ago, a customer got so personal and I asked how I could handle such future scenarios? Well, I applied it today. I looked him in the eye and said, "It's personal." He just wouldn't take that for an answer. I just kept repeating it until he finally gave up. Hmmm. That wasn't too bad! I felt so good that I was able to stand up and tell him that. Thanks, all...
Cat, you n your family are in our prayers n so sorry for your loss. Drive careful n we are here for you. Stormy, if you still feeling sick since last week n having trouble keeping food down, I think you need to go see your physician. I hope u can keep liquids down. Can you keep some Gatorade down n some juice form soup? You just need to focusing on getting better than play catch up alittle bit at a time n let us know how you r doing. I really still think u need to see a dr if you r not able to keep any solid food down n especially if u cannot with liquids. The mnl dr's nurse called to reschedule her appointment for he had a family member ER. We will find out for her x-ray next week. she didn't seem like she wanted to get out of the house anyway. Suppose to rain tomorrow n temp should drop in 40's.. Br...
Deef, that is pretty smart with the cameras so that u don't have to be right their under her. Smart thinking n I will keep that one in mind if I ever need it. Interesting that your mom is more calm when someone not distracting her for my mnl is NOT calm if I am not right in front of her still. it don't bother me as much anymore now that I know I am her comfort zone person so to say. However, she does go in her room for awhile just piddle paddle around as she say n she is fine I guess just knowing I am here. The Niece agreed that it would be better for her to stay over-night on Wed so we don't have to try n rush her at 4am for that is not going happen with her n I don''t blame her either. The cold is coming back I think from what is still left from Sandy. I will be glad when she gets done showing her ass n just blow back into the sea. eldestdaughter, just because u r not right their in his presence 24/7 you are still doing a lot of caregiver work for your dad n don't let anyone tell you different. ; )
JudyM, you r soooooooooo bad, donuts for the nurse, you little briber. lol. As for your friend all u can do is be supported for her n she has a very great friend to be their for her. Stormy, you need to focus on you getting better n staying better. If u go shampooing the carpet n crap u could have a relasp. Maybe get the sheets washed n spray the bathroom but all that other stuff can wait. Don;t over do it. Glad u r feeling a little better too. Austin, "One Step at a Time." You r in my prayers n Cat too.
Hi Crew, I'm just checking in to let you know I'm still alive. Right now I'm reeling from the latest punch from the sibs and trying to figure out how to proceed. I didn't want to make any of you worry.
Diane: Tell us what happened with the sibs when you feel like it. You are so too good for them.
Btw: I sent a facebook message to Tbailey. Haven't heard anything from her. I really wish her well. She is such a good person. I wish she'd pop in and let us know she's ok.
Stormy: Sending you love and hugs. Get better.
Lildeb: I am keeping you in my prayers and hoping your medical tests just show that a simple medication adjustment can put things right. I'm sending you a big cyber hug, a bunch of love and tons of white light.

Well, dad had a chest xray last week because he said his right lung was hurting. It's the same one that he has had pleural effusion in and they have drained it several times. I picked up the report yesterday and it said everything was normal. Said the reason for the xray was for bronchtis. So i guess thats what his got. I dont know if that will show if the pleural effusion has come back or not. Well it did say no infiltration. So who knows what is going on.
Deef- you were right i think i needed to eat, but i had no appetite plus everything i ate gave me the hb. But i do feel better. Thanks for the advice.

"Oops!"
A preacher wa looking for a used lawnmower. He
found one at a yard sale that the ownwer's boy, Jim,
happened to be manning.
"This mower work son?" the pracher asked.
"Sure does," Jim said. "You have to pull hard on that
cord, though."
The preacher bought the mower. When he got
ready to mow, he yanked and pulled and tugged in the
cord, No luck. It wouldn't start.
Back he went to the yard sale place. You said this
would work if I pulled on the cord hard enough," he complained.
"Well," Jim said, "maybe I didn't mention that you
need to cuss sometimes."
The preacher was taken aback. "I haven't done that
for many years!" he said
Jim smiled. "Just keep yanking on that cord, Pastor.
It'll come back to you."
These days about half of the stuff in my shopping cart say,
"For fast relief."
Good advice is something a guy gives when he's too old
to set a bad example.
Don't let aging get you down. It's to hard to get back up.
Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow
old, you grow old because you stop laughing.
Have a great night

Thinking of you and sending white light. Love, Cat.
Man! the bosses are going off-island on Thursday for the weekend! I need to really stuff myself with DayQuil. The only one I have on stock - expired last month. But I will still take it until I can go buy more tomorrow. Later!!
(You know, I can't stand OJ. But when I get sick, I drink that like it's water! It tastes sooo delicious. I keep drinking it until the day it goes back to tasting yuck. By then, I know that my body no longer needs it and I can stop drinking it.)
Hope it's not a bad cry.
Austin! hope you are getting along ok up there.

Loved the jokes , Cuz.
Remember the time a few months ago, a customer got so personal and I asked how I could handle such future scenarios? Well, I applied it today. I looked him in the eye and said, "It's personal." He just wouldn't take that for an answer. I just kept repeating it until he finally gave up. Hmmm. That wasn't too bad! I felt so good that I was able to stand up and tell him that. Thanks, all...
Stormy, if you still feeling sick since last week n having trouble keeping food down, I think you need to go see your physician. I hope u can keep liquids down. Can you keep some Gatorade down n some juice form soup? You just need to focusing on getting better than play catch up alittle bit at a time n let us know how you r doing. I really still think u need to see a dr if you r not able to keep any solid food down n especially if u cannot with liquids.
The mnl dr's nurse called to reschedule her appointment for he had a family member ER. We will find out for her x-ray next week. she didn't seem like she wanted to get out of the house anyway. Suppose to rain tomorrow n temp should drop in 40's.. Br...
eldestdaughter, just because u r not right their in his presence 24/7 you are still doing a lot of caregiver work for your dad n don't let anyone tell you different. ; )
JudyM, you r soooooooooo bad, donuts for the nurse, you little briber. lol. As for your friend all u can do is be supported for her n she has a very great friend to be their for her.
Stormy, you need to focus on you getting better n staying better. If u go shampooing the carpet n crap u could have a relasp. Maybe get the sheets washed n spray the bathroom but all that other stuff can wait. Don;t over do it. Glad u r feeling a little better too.
Austin, "One Step at a Time." You r in my prayers n Cat too.
Anyone hear from tbailey lately?
Take care everyone!
Btw: I sent a facebook message to Tbailey. Haven't heard anything from her. I really wish her well. She is such a good person. I wish she'd pop in and let us know she's ok.
Stormy: Sending you love and hugs. Get better.
Lildeb: I am keeping you in my prayers and hoping your medical tests just show that a simple medication adjustment can put things right. I'm sending you a big cyber hug, a bunch of love and tons of white light.
Love you all, Cat
