With what real doctors charge their patients it is a joke when Dr. Roberts says he is "desperately looking for some cash" right away in his post. Look where the moon doesn't shine and stop posting here!!!

Taking a form of medical shorthand, I loved writing 000 on the office calendars!

Grrrr.... Ijust inquired if a "friend" got a package I sent 2 weeks ago... and I got a long email back about the many cocktail parties and luncheons they have been busy going to, and about the vacation they are about to take. All I wanted to know was if she got the %$### package!! Then she asked "what are YOUR plans?"......I am not even going to answer that as it is ER with MIL, hospital with MIL, clean MIL kitchen and see to it she took her meds, tax mistake accountant made, husband's heart condition worries etc etc. She knows damned well that my life has been rough these last many years. My short response was "glad you got the package". What kind of people can't stop rubbing other's noses in it? Thanks for letting me vent. I hope everyone has a very peaceful holiday!!

My mom would eat fast food or hot dogs 7 days a week. I am no food freak, but try to eat decently most of the time. Then she moans and groans things are not ready when she is. Her neurologist said she could help out as long as I was around. It has been 4 weeks since and she has not been in the kitchen other than passing through on her way to the bathroom or wondering why it is taking me so long to clean up. It is really frustrating and give her the nursing home lecture, thinking it might sink in; and then I realize that dementia keeps her from rational thinking about it all. I also love my sister giving me advice what to do when she lives half way across the country and stays in a hotel when she comes to visit and no idea what a typical day is like around here. This is at least a place to vent frustrations!

Gershun, I was wondering the same thing. Maybe everyone is busy with holidays or just things happening. I am glad this year is coming to an end. I am always hopeful when a new year starts, for a while anyhow until it sinks in all the stuff I deal with is still there..... I hope everyone is doing ok!

I'm here. My wife's bad knee always hurts badly two days after physical therapy. My frozen left shoulder is much better. I'm glad to have my unusual brother in law gone after being here since last Saturday. He's getting even more unusual. He just stood and stared at me while I ate lunch and when I ate supper one day. I told him to stop starring the second time. It's not his age, he has always been a bit strange. I don't see how his wife puts up with him or what she see's in him. Neither does my wife. She told my wife that the reason that she married him was that she felt sorry for him. That's not a marriage in my opinion. She told me several years ago that she could not have married a normal man, whatever on earth that means.

Happy New Year Everyone!

"Come on (come on), now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?"

Song reference here:
""I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair"

My schedule is changing, and I do not even know that day what it will be.......

Send, the first one is Neil Diamond.

Now for my Neil Diamond story. I went to a Neil Diamond concert once. Only cause someone had an extra ticket. I wasn't a big fan. I always thought he was kind of square. At least then I did. So the group I went with were kind of laughing at him a bit which I admit is mean. You know that song "Forever in Blue Jeans" He kept repeating the chorus over and over again saying things like "one more time for the people in that section" and "one more time for the people in that section" So one of the guys I was with shouted out really loudly "one more time for that old man going to the washroom" Our whole section laughed.

Magnum, I think everybody has an unusual B I L or S I L. I think it's part of the human experience. I hope we get something great at the end for having gone through it. Just saying................:P

Funny how song lyrics sometimes sound like something else. When I first heard that song I thought Neil Diamond was singing "Reverend Blue Jeans". OK a casual Sunday in church I thought.....Then there was the Beatles "Paperback Writer". As a kid I thought they were singing "Take the back right turn".......

Speaking of misunderstood song lyrics, in church one Sunday many years ago, my friend’s dad sang along with the congregation “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. He is trampling out the village where the great giraffe is stored!”

Your band reference Gershun, Pink Floyd.
I just mentioned a continuation of same lyrics, ha ha.

So, I saw Neil Diamond at the Greek Theatre, way back when.
Or was it Englebert Humperdink? I am so confused, and also not a fan.
However, I like some songs, by pure over-exposure on the radio, recognize the tunes.

MsMadge,
I will play.......

Rain, rain and more rain. I really can't complain though, if temps were where they are supposed to be all this rain would be an impossible amount of snow.

Iv'e got a whine alright......The breakfast was served and the presents were opened and everyone was finishing up,about to leave our house Christmas morning and then as I was going to the dining room table with a laptop in each hand,my shoe caught and I fell so hard and the dining room chair's arm rammed into my ribs knocking my breath out of me and Iv'e hurt ever since.I had been so proud of myself for not falling or doing anything bad all through Christmas and then just as soon as we were done-WAM~But atleast I didn't drop the computer's and at the ER,they said my ribs weren't broken,just bruised and I'd get better in 3 to 6 weeks.

Thanks Katie.....I just Hate these awful falls.Falls do so much damage so quick and all over and a fall was what started my 9 and a half years of caregiving with Mom too.She was just going in the kitchen to make dinner and tripped over her 4 prong cane and rammed into the kitchen wall and she did a Hangman's break and broke her neck in the tip of her skull in C-1 and just a half of an inch more,she would have been paralyzed or died then...So,I guess I just have to be thankful I didn't break anything or get hurt worse.Anyway,Thanks Katie,I appreciate it~

Patty, that is more than just a whine, it is ok to have had enough. The hard part is admitting to yourself that you just cannot do it any longer. You need to take care of you too!
