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.
The heat has arrived, yeah, oh yes it is here.
Please do not hesitate to go to a hotel if that is where the air conditioning is at.
Do they keep the air on at work 24/7? Not likely, but if it is cool and they have a lounge, shelter in place?
Stick with us, we are a huge group of caregiver friends who want the best for you!
Reminds me of Veronica, when everything went south physically, and she is still with us today. We got the power! Or, know the one who IS.
Here, so many hugs for you!
Thanks for letting us know -
I'm holding good thoughts for surgery tomorrow and today to let your mind be quiet and body relax so it can heal quickly
Wow - you're really facing a lot now. I wish I could offer some consoling thoughts....are there other alternatives to a transplant? I don't know enough about your situation to know, but gosh, that seems like such a major operation.
I can't send you a card, so I'll just send you helping and healing thoughts as others are doing. And best of care and luck with the surgery tomorrow. Peace to you as you work through this challenge.
Caregiver, you're a much nicer person than I am. If my dad had done that to me, after I asked him twice, I would have complained non-stop and then tell him that we're sharing. Since half a meal is not enough for 2 people, then I would have cut that sandwich in half - one for him and one for me.... knowing he would not eat the sandwich - which would go to waste. Just pack it up, put it in the fridge and give it the next time he's hungry... That would be my scenario with my dad. But to give him my whole food?!? No way! That's like rewarding him … And that's why my dad always accused me of being disrespectful.
What happened to snakes, sparklers and piccolo petes?
Sorry you're in hospital again - hope you get at least a bit of sleep
More later when the internet and computed ars working better.
Happy 4th!
I am offline, every minute, it goes offline, then on again.
Say hello to Luckylu for me, her dinner sounded so good. She is the deviled egg and jello salad lady in their family. Our family no longer gets together, and sad there are no famous egg ladies any more.
What is with the so very many caregivers picking on other caregivers-on way way too many threads. Stop it! Just stop it! Don?t make me name names. It is disgusting behaviors.
Send, you are not a crap magnet.............if you are then I must be crap cause I've always been drawn to you. Should I start calling myself crapola? Change my name from Gershun to Crapface?
I've gotten good at looking really busy when it looks like someone wants to talk to me. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy chatting with strangers if I'm in the mood and they don't seem too weird but then there are those days when people can see my "resting bitch face" and they know to stay clear. :)
At least I use "AmazonSmile" where a portion of your order is donated to your favorite charity. They have about 6 to choose from. Mine is Doctors Without Borders.
That justifies my purchases (I keep telling myself). 😉 💸💸💸
Think clothes dryer exhaust, hole in the wall, same size as air conditioner exhaust hose.
Portable a/c is out given screens are wired to an alarm - I remember the summer of the night stalker
Forecast is for 106 on Friday -
I’ve been his caretaker for going on 30 years.
