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.
Gershun, you really miss her, and that is understandable. I miss my Mom too! It won't be as painful after a while, but it will never go away. I hope your sadness lessens with every passing day! You too Jeanette! Eventually your sadness will be more of the happy memories type. Good night ladies!
Sheradale, you my friend are getting your Just Desserts! Good for you! I call it Karma!
I hope there is a way of using these patches for the secretions without keeping them on the full three days...I wonder if that's doable..I will talk with her nurse or doctor and see what they say..It has been a godsend for her not to have to be clearing her throat all the time....
I don't know if I'm relieved or sad all I know is I am exhausted.....I hope everyone is having a good day..I haven't made it through all the posts....
Stacey, I love your house....I see your cute pup back now but I did see your pretty home and meant to tell you....Gershun I hope you are feeling better....I'm sorry you had a distressing day....All of this is mind boggling...I got dressed to go to the store for a few things, but after Mama began acting so strange I was afraid to leave her....I just remembered I forgot to eat tonight ...and again I have waited to late...oh well..didn't need it anyway...hugs to all....
PATRICIA317, my little doggy doesn't like it when I cry, cough or sneeze! Aren't they intuitive little creatures? I love my pup! Take care no!
She said she is not in pain, she seems very happy..if she is then I'm fine with it of course...but it said that these side effects can be indicative of a severe adverse reaction...that is my concern..... VERONICA...where are you!!!!! anyone???? anyone had anything like this from this med????
Since I was the youngest and only girl, we always have had a special relationship. I remember when I moved to Florida and got my first teaching job, I had to go back to school to take the courses required for a permanent certificate. Before we moved, Mom found us our house which was one block over from her house! While I was working and going to school Mom decided she would help me by doing all our laundry! She picked it up at my house, washed, dried, folded or put it on hangers and put it in my closets and drawers!
Now when I do her laundry I am reminded that I have the opportunity to pay her back for all of the things she has done for me. I am so blessed to have a Mom that I love and that she loves me.
Well hearing about her fractured foot and knowing that it will be worker's comp which means they will put her through the wringer and it will be a long drawn out process and she will not be able to do many things and will probably need some pain mess. I love God's will! Some people say Karma, but I decided not to pursue a lawsuit against them because the stress would increase my pain and retiring would convince Mom to move in with us. As it turned out, retiring would have been necessary anyway because Mom needed me. But I was so upset when all this went down because for many years I would meet with her in her office and pray with her for her daughter who had brain issues. After praying with her out loud she told me one day that I had changed her life. She said that she was praying to Jesus now instead of saying Hail Mary's and all that and felt she was closer to God.
Then she does crap like this? What kind of people do stuff like that? I was so hurt and she tried to tell me she was trying to help me! After hearing her complain about how our budget was 98% salaries and benefits and she was hoping this person would retire. She (the boss) had already retired and was collecting her pension and came back to work one month(the required time) later. And guess who ran the place while she was gone? Yooouuuuu guessed it, MOI.
There have been so many times when I thought hmmm I could really screw her over by...... But I didn't do anything. So forgive me if I take a little unChristian pleasure in this news. I will pray for God's will in this matter, lol.
My mom was always so supportive of me. At her memorial the pastor told us of a time when he visited my mom in the hospital and he came away feeling like he had been blessed by the visit with her, not the other way around.
I always felt that way when I was with my mom too. I came away feeling better about life in general. She had that way about her. I guess today I really needed some of that and it suddenly dawned on me that I am going to have to find it somewhere else from now on.
Well sis leaves tomorrow we are taking dad out to breakfast before she departs.
She will come back for a day early October then at Christmas time. Hopefully she gets know how dad is and remember.
I don't know why I feel so weepy tonite. I am in a mood where I could win the lotto and it wouldn't make me happy. Maybe I just need some sleep ....
Lucky if you need to take something to sleep don't feel bad. You are only human.
oldestof3 if you need to have a good cry for what ever reason you just go ahead. Its good for you to have a good bawl now and then.
Jeanette I couldn't see the stars where I am last night but I'm sure it must of been beautiful.
I just made pasties with Mom at the NH the other day - introduced a whole new crowd to the pleasure of the pasty.
I did check with our nurse and cofirm whether the Scope patches they just prescribed might have anything to do with this and she said they should not....I am thinking...and hoping...maybe it is just that she is feeling so much beter not having those secretions in her throat all the time that she is feeling a lot better...
The main thing is she is happy...I don't want her to go, but I made sure I told her it was ok if she decided to go....I do find it tremendously comforting to know that this home will not be empty when the time does arrive. I believe it will be full of angels and people who love her...waiting to welcome her home....I don't want to miss the opportunity to feel it...I know when I lost Daddy, as much as I panicked before the time arrived, I remember AT the time, I felt comforted and when he left us, there was a warmth and something almost like a giant, invisible hug that was present in the room...others saw it and felt it too...so rahter than fear it, I want to embrace it....
She's still looking and still talking..but she's happy...so I will be happy for her...
We have a John Deere Gator so drove him around the yard and to next door the property we bought cia foreclosure and he looked around.
He does have a bit of difficulty getting up from a chair or in a car. Alot of changes from a year ago.
