Linda prayers to you, what a scary time for you two. Take it one day at a time and maybe you will find a way to get thru this together. I noticed when my dad got scared he reacted angrily maybe the case here? Still hard! Wishing you the best!
Linda I am so sorry about your hubby-two of y friends who had strokes are doing much better-it takes awhile and improvement is slow-I hope you have support.
It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift certificate envelope.
At the second house they presented him with a box of fine imported cigars.
The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.
At each of the houses along his route, he was met with congratulations, farewells, cards, and gifts of all types and values.
At the final house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful young blonde in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where they had a most passionate liaison. Afterwards, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming coffee.
As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.
"All this was just too wonderful for words," he said, ".....but what's the dollar for?"
"Well," she said, "Last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you?"
He said, "...Screw him...give him a dollar." The blonde then blushed and said, "....But the breakfast was my idea."
Linda- my heart goes out to you. My hubs had a stroke last Sept. It was a mild stroke that only effected his speach. He slept so much more during the first 6 months after the stroke...I guess it was due to his brain healing. I still worry about him because he works lots of OT by choice. He does not take the stroke very seriously either. Hugs for you dear lady! P
hi ,, hubbys sroke dr told him he will not be going back to work . shaynmarie- im sorry he has a speach pblm , my hubby has memory pblm ,, tmr he will go to memory care and it is a all day thing ,, test , test and more test .... next week he will go to sleep study , hope that goes well . prob not cuz he still awakes up at 2 am . thats his brain alarm clock , thinking time to go to work . then realizes he dont go to work anymore , cant sleep ,,,, went to dr today i did , she got me on nerve pill , to keep me calm when he has an attidue . take as needed , i took one just to see how it efect me , made me tired grrr . one day at a time doc said . yup . just praying that he gets well ... cuz - i smiled at your blonde joke , ;) xoxo
LInda the sleep study will be fine. Even if he wakes at 2am they will have recorded enough data for the study. he will be ready to go home then, As far as the pill, half a pill is a good idea and you will get used to the sleepiness. Try taking it at night to relax you and help you get a good nights sleep.
linda- if it is Xanax....just a half will take the edge off without drowsiness. My hubs has sleep apnea but use his c-pap machine...it falls of his face. His stroke Dr told him to use it.
Hey hope everyone is doing well! I have to apologize again for being overwhelming!
We had rescheduled our Portland trip to after Thanksgiving to make it more productive. Have 4 places to see. Catching up and working on plans still to sell and move, signed up with realtor I like! Then decide either Hawaii or somewhere stateside but warmer n near water, maybe gulf coast....New Orleans to Florida ? We have hope now! I did not realize we could get out of this house and area! I may have got overexcited about it but it got us moving in right direction!, hope was lost for so long....of course it was emotionally overwhelming to feel the relief of not being stuck here 8ys was not real thrilled with my choice and feeling guilty for buying the "lemon" for momma!!! It is beautiful but not the right place for us! Time to move on! Will take a good 6 mo's at minimum to sell (after winter) etc...
Anyway. Hope everyone is adjusting to the winters weather...hanging in with the cold blast across the country!
Mizunderstood10....I could have written your comment word for word! We also turn the TV up at meal times....the sounds are disgusting as my MIL eats....its so gross
Brrrr, enough winter, when is spring going to get here. Step dad has cabin fever, got him to teach me some about house wiring. He has forgotten more than most people will ever learn.
we had our first snow here in the lower Hudson Valley in NY about an inch which did not affect the roads or drives-the best-now we have to be able to cancel plans as needed for the next few months.
Ok, Cuz, and Austin, you have me beat. It's just cold and windy here. What can I say, I'm just spoiled. Of course when we do get snow and ice it's a disaster, no one in Texas can drive. Up in the panhandle, they did get some snow last weekend, and had over 50 accidents just in Lubbock.
I feel for the snowed in folks, I think ours will be lite till later in the season. Coming of freezy-freeze back to about average now in WA State. Same old crap here, messes UTI, that he just can not fathom is at all related to his lack of water intake and refusing the change his depends more than twice a day... When he told my mom the body is made up of seventy percent water and how much do you think a man can hold!!! I swear I could here her BP going up in the basement. She is on the higher does of BP medicine now, I hope it keeps her alive while he continues to take for ever to die...
She got a joke from her Dr. last week, I think I have heard it, think it may have been one from Cuz a while back, I'll re post it any way...
A old man and woman go to the doctor for the old man's appointment. The Doc does a full check up and as he is leaving the Doc says: "We need to get a urine and stool sample as well." The old man shouts: "What did he say?" The old woman replies... "They want to see your underwear!"
It was 19 degrees yesterday morning here -will be in the 60's in a few days and we had our first snow NY state is getting clobbered in parts of the state.
Got our first leetle snow here, half an inch gone by tomorrow I think. last night was "bath nite"...which no longer involves the bath tub thank god, one less thing he can crab about. "The seats cold, don't get the wash cloth so wet!" He actually got in one time in his Depends...Because he JUST put them on! It is an ordeal for everyone. Mom had had it with his BS last night...
"DON'T put your hand there, You need to wash it off, That is poop daddy!" "No, it isn't poop...!" "Yes it is Daddy, it's poop see that poop!" "No it is not either poop!" "No, well what is it then?!" "It's lint!" "IT'S NOT LINT!, IT'S SH*T DADDY!!!" "oh, o.k...." Hmn, yes, when Mom starts cussing, that is it old man, Figure it out! and so it goes.... Jen
We have had 26" of snow since Monday here in Michigan. Buffalo New York will have 100" by Saturday. We broke a record today for the snowiest November on record in Grand Rapids with over 28" and its still coming down yet. Saturday am they are calling for freezing drizzle turning to rain with a high of 48 on Sunday. we have 13 degrees right now. Just love it. Shoveled the roof off once already and it ain't even winter yet.
Oh, Cuz, that just seems unreal to me. Be careful. Jen, sorry but I had to laugh. Old FP doesn't know what poop is but he knows what Sh*t means. Have to go cut Mom's hair. She has a dentist appointment next Monday. Will be the first time she's been out of the house in months. She only leaves the house to go to a Dr appointment. Have a safe sane as possible weekend everyone.
A man and woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard late into the night. The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"
Neighbors feared him. The old man liked the fact that he was feared. Then one evening he died at the age of 98. After the burial, the woman's neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?"
The wife said, "Let him dig. I had him buried upside down...and I know he won't ask for directions."
hi you all ... want to say have a happy thanksgiving . i am doing ok , hubby just went to sleep study yesterday , didnt do good on that , soon he will see his stroke doc and will get more info on about his test . CUZ- love that joke , JSOMEBODY - u may want to bury FP UPSIDE DOWN ALSO . WINK ... love you all !! xoxo
Well, mom won't eat turkey unless it's organic, she finally came up with egg rolls would be good. So were having an oriental Thanksgiving dinner. Which is fine with me, I just don't want to listen to her complain.
