I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
Anyway, he has Cushing disease now and can’t control his bladder. I’ve been cleaning up dog pee all day! She’s coming tomorrow to pick him up. As I said, I love him but tired of the pee all over the house. He’s a cutie, a toy poodle but honestly caring for an animal is like caring for a child or the elderly, right?
They are a responsibility. I have always had pets but after my greyhound died I said no more. He lived to be 13. My schnauzer was 13 when she died. My cat was 16. My last one, the grey absolutely stole my heart. He was the sweetest dog in the world.
Every time I see a cute pooch I want another one but it breaks my heart to put them down when it’s time. So, at least for now I am pet free. I have grown very close to my daughter’s dog. I watch him when she needs me to. I am amazed at how smart he is. Some animals are smarter than some people!
My dentist looks like a baby so I felt really old. He was talking about "those old metal fillings" . I remained mum. Did I have a choice? Not like I could have responded even if I wanted to with my mouth wide open and various things being done inside of it. LOL
I had a horrible reaction to Lyrica recently too. I took three of them and had to quit cause I felt like I was having a stroke. I guess I'm very sensitive to meds.
I’m generally sensitive to antibiotics
no to penicillin and sulfa
even pain med Celebrex gave me trouble after a car accident
I have had a lot of gum graft work from having metal braces as a kid
and take antibiotics for about a week afterwards
it’s important to take it with food
if I can find the name I’ll send it to you as it is especially good for oral surgery
ps. I had three silver fillings drilled out yesterday
dentist thought they were 30–40
years old
I laughed and said how could that be when I’m only 28 🙀
I could not have gone on with that one. I was actually kind of worried about how I was feeling.
You’re not supposed to stop taking an antibiotic. You should finish the entire dosage. Did you tell your doctor that you were quitting it? Unless you had an allergic reaction, I have always heard to complete the dosage of antibiotics.
I'm curious. Have any of you ever had an unpleasant reaction to amoxicillin? I was prescribed a course of this on Friday after an unsuccessful root canal. I was supposed to have taken 500mg, three times a day for seven days. I was peeing continuously for the two and a half days I took it. I finally gave up on it and am slowly starting to feel better. In addition I felt anxious and just generally horrible. I have been prescribed this in the past but never reacted this way before. I used to get the usual nausea and upset stomach but never this.
I have read that your body can react differently to medicines as you get older but I thought older meant in your seventies/eighties, not in my fifties.
I would keep telling him that you aren’t interested in anything other than friendship. He’s obviously attracted to you but you can’t force yourself to return his feelings. You would be miserable.
Same with traveling. How did you become friends with him? Did you drift apart or always been just casual friends?
hope the referral is to a specialist you like that offers you a conservative treatment plan
hugs, MsM
A few months ago, I started keeping my distance from him. He is in a group home and does things with a special needs group. I know next year, he is going on a trip to Florida with a company called People and Places. He tried getting me involved in these things but I am not interested. I have Aspberger's am much more high functioning than what the special needs group he belongs to. I looked at the People and Places stuff and it's not my thing. I don't feel like shelling out $3,000 for a vacation and not have any control over anything. If I can plan a trip and travel to Texas and Hawaii on my own, I don't need People and Places.
I just don't know how to handle this situation than what I have been doing. It doesn't help that his ex fiancee left him 15 years ago and he is still fixated on her.
That’s a tough one! Good luck.
I am sure you’re not looking forward to surgery. I know that you will be glad when this is behind you. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for letting us know how you are. Hugs!
Nope no more moves unless one of them has to go into a nursing home or into MC.
I am sick of hearing them complain about the food, seems to be a trait with people their age. The food where they are is ok, actually some is very good.
I'm so sick of my mother screaming like I am assaulting her whenever I touch her.
She never tolerated discomfort well, she was always a big belly-acher. Always a complainer, never a kind word or at least being gracious because someone has good intentions, if you put her out you were going to know about it.
Now she's fragile, and her brain mixes up signals/sensations, and she needs full-time care. She screams-- literally-- if I even get close to her. She jerks in fear and panic just in anticipation of being touched. The lightest, most gentle touches cause her to yell and scream.
I would gladly give her all the care she needs in a day if she would just stop screaming, jerking, getting tense, yelling at me, complaining, etc. and be quiet and let me do things that have to be done.
just got informed that BIL is on his way over to pick up one of them- a SHOTGUN-to give to SIL’s 7 year old son. Because every 7 year old needs a shot gun I guess? I’m not anti gun but can’t agree with this although I have no say in it. He said it’s so nephew “can have something from his grandpa”
So why not give him a damn belt buckle or a pair of his cowboy boots then? He always wore a western belt buckle and cowboy boots. He did not tote around a shotgun. The kids remember him for his western wear/cowboy style not his guns. SMDH. But to each their own I guess.
Please let us know how everything goes. We will be sending you the very best thoughts.
if you're up, then make some warm milk and cuddle up under your blanket
Will be thinking of you. Don’t jump to conclusions. Yeah, it’s unnerving but as you say, don’t dwell on it. Hugs!
I don’t know? Is it a follow up appointment after tests were done or just a regular check up? Would it put your mind at ease to call and ask the reason why she rescheduled?
It’s always unnerving to get a call from the doctor’s office. Your reaction is completely normal. Did they give any indication of why?
My doctor has rescheduled appointments because she was going on her honeymoon and was seeing all of her patients before her trip.
I have had rescheduled appointments and the office will sometimes give a reason or simply say they won’t be in the office that day.
For me when there was an issue I was told. Such as my lab work was off and I was asked to have new lab work done so my medication could be adjusted properly.
(Sorry, I know it's too soon to worry but I had to tell somebody or I think my head will explode)
hopeful they can replace the glass.
polar, that’s just awful!! It’s too bad you couldn’t go after his insurance (if he had any) for something like that! I am so sorry that happened!
