OK EMJO I got one for you it's not a story or a joke but more like a statement or a status shuffle. Got it from my brother and this was directed at his wife my lovely sil. NOT. He put on his fb page status "YOU COULDN'T MAKE SOME PEOPLE HAPPY IF YOU STUCK BOZO THE CLOWN UP THEIR ASS!!!!!! I thought that was soooooo funny and i wanted to put that on mine but i knew if i did that the sil would know where i got it from and she would think i was talking about her and i would be. I hope ya'll get a laugh out of it! I sure have!!!!! ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Stormyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hi all.
Happy Birthday Laade. Hope everyone is doing the best they can.
Stormy........I can see you are much relieved. I don't know if you remember or not but earlier on this thread when we were all trying to diagnose your dad I mentioned cellulitis. That could also explain the swollen lymph nodes. It is a very uncomfortable thing to have but he will be better when he finishes his antib's.
Dad is still in a lot of pain in his back. But the prednisone has increased his appitite. TGIF I am overwhelmed at work and sure do need a break form that.
The weather is terrible hot here and only looking to get hotter. "sigh"
Well, have a blessed evening.

Thanks for all the bday wishes... and no cake for me Stormy, I have to back into the bathroom on the BS as it is... did get a little monetary gift from Marie today... Guess my little temper tantrum paid off... she was nicer than she has been since I first started working for her....
But a computer is my best gift plus all the wishes from my friends, who could ask for anything more than that....
tell ya'll what I am going to have to do.... just start from today.. If I can't make a phone call for internet service and end up talking to Seeme at 8am, then maybe I shouldn't try to go back for days to figure what all I missed.... I will get it soon, so be patient with me... hugs across the miles....

LADEE IS BACK!!! I still wasn't sure after that phone call........guess she managed to get it together.................

Happy Birthday, again, Ladee. Seeing you here on the thread tonight is like getting a birthday present FROM you.....I tried calling......so I hope you have gone out to dinner or something else special, just for you. And then, get back on here and start posting and venting and letting us know what has been happening to you and the BS!!

I ended up taking a 2-3 hr nap this afternoon. I know I was being indulgent, but I am staying up till sis gets here and that will be afer midnight for sure. Wokw up to mom in her room, sitting in her chair, saying "It is supper time. I am hungry." over and over again. So all that is done and she is in bed.

This was one of those days where I was on the poopy end of everything. I was up at 4:30 because mom got me up, but I was suddenly hit with an IBS attack before I could even get mom back into bed. She is in her room on the commode, can't get up, don't even think the paper was where she could get it, with her bedroom door open, hollering my name...........over.....and over......and over. I am in her bathroom next door, in pain, can't get up yet, door open, whisper/hollering "Shut up"...."just wait"......"give me a minute"....rocking back and forth, trying not to cry, waiting for hubby to come charging down the hall. TA DAH !! Actually funny when I look back on it, but NOT at 4:30 AM.

Mom gets up at 7 and the day begins. I get her clothes together and she gets in the shower for a waist down bath. Set her at the table and get breakfast made...fried egg and toast.....smelled good, so me, too. Mom doesn't finish her breakfast, much less me finish, when she has to go to the bathroom.....NOT unusual. I've noticed she tries to lift herself out of the chair with her arms instead of her quads, so I let her do it as much as she can by herself. She gets up, turns around for me to pull her pull ups down, and shit goes on the floor, down the stool, in the pull ups, and she doesn't know she did anything!! Poor mom, she is upset, so I tried to make it NOT unusual, so I remind mom about the last OES I had. As Holly got older, (and she was 14 when we had to put her down) she would strain to get up and there was always some poop on the floor, easy to pick up, and there was no scolding. She couldn't help it. Mom remembered when I told her how embarrassed she was one time when the Meth. Pastor was leaving. Holly got up with the rest of us, and POOP! He didn't give it a second thought as he had dogs, too. I'll finish in a minute..............

My hubby and I got back from our vacation of 4 days. Wow it was such a relief to get away and for once I did not worry about Grandma and not hearing her when she gets up at night or calling for our cat in the middle of the night. I need more days like that.
I was suppose to go back to work at the end of July. I did for 2 days and now I'm off until I see the dr again the day after Labor Day. I will be so glad when I return to work that would help me keep my sanity. I just pour all of the stress from taking care of grandma into my work.

I tried keeping up with all the post here but it would take me more than a month to catch up with everybody. I hope everybody is doing good. Time for me to get off of here and get some things down since grandma is going to bed. Good night everyone.

Emjo- I thought you and maybe some of the others would like that! And yes I'm glad we finally know what is going on with dad. And his dr is coming back the end of the month but we still don't have a appt time for the biopsy yet.
YR-Yes we are very relieved to know that at least we have a diagnosis. I hope you get some rest and i hope your dad gets some relief from his pain.
Ladeeeeeeeeeee- glad u r back hon! Hope u had a happy day!!!!!!!!
Seemeeeeeeeee- I'm sorry u are having a time with your mom. Sounds like she really keeps u busy. You try to take some time for you and get some rest! Love all of you! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!! Stormyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

After 7 1/2 hours of driving 400 miles, we moved our youngest son into his college dorm today. We attended the orientation events for parents which will conclude in the morning.

I've been observing some threads and selecting not to get in the middle of some 72 hour plus drama on one of them.

I wish everyone a good rest of the weekend!

Back again and only 20 min till a show called Making the Cut. This week it is about the Army and the training they do for the special forces that my fave nephew is a part of, so I have to watch.

So, mom has pooped on herself, gotten some on her hands and on the floor I just washed yesterday, so I remin her about the dog. Suddenly, I quit talking about the dog cause I was at the point of the story where Holly got to where she couldn't get up any more at all, so we had to put her down..................but I went to the dark side in my mind for just a second............ANY SW ON HERE TONIGHT?????

Needless to say, that's why I took a nap.

Sis just called and she is in W. VA.and GPS says she is due to arrive here about 2:27 am.

TX......welcome.........so, ya need to know how many times someone can go to the bathroom in a day, huh? I am definitely the expert. That is my main job here at home. Seems like I always have a poo story, and I don't mean Whinnie. Between dehydration and UTIs, that is a steady issue here, and mom has gone as much as every 20 min during and entire day and night, so you might need to look into that.

Stormy......You sound so good today........and a trip to the beach!!..........you have been a VERY good girl............


smiley.......I wish I deserved a name like that........glad you had a vacation....I am looking forward to my sister coming here just so I can think about driving by myself somewhere, anywhere, and use the A/C !!!!!! I hope it lasts you a long time.

I will write more after the show...................

Oh I am so happy to be back... I have missed everyone so much... have to tell ya'll about my meltdown last week... too much going on, not having a place to put my frustrations, and it hit me at work.... Marie had been a bitch for days, Sonny has descended into another level of Alz, and it is hot as hell in that house... she had to go to the Dr. and I am stressed about all going on, or NOT going on getting my house set up... I had to do laundry , she was at the Dr. , Sonny is following me around like a puppy dog. I finally got him to rest on the couch so I could get some things done, and then IT happened... was trying to get the clothes hangers to hang the clothes, well ya'll know that clothes hangers just love to f**k with humans, so after 10 minutes of trying to untangle them, I lost it.... started just pulling and my hands were going 90 to nothing and I ended up throwing some of them across the room....in the middle of this tirade I stopped and laughed until my stomach hurt... but damn I felt better..... had to throw away some of them, didn't quite look like hangers when I got done..... So I just went about my day like I hadn't been a raving lunatic wrestling with clothes hangers.....Hey, what ever it takes to get us thru the day right???? Now when I see a clothes hanger I get an evil smile on my face...
Love you all and have missed each and every one of you.... catch me up on what is going on... no way could I read all 200 plus posts.... hugs across the miles to ya'll.......

Ladee, vent, vent, vent with the clothes hangers! They can stand it! After a "strong" venting everybody feels better.
Stormy I am so happy to know that you are going to the beach for a few days. Don't switch on the computer. Just bathe and relax. Don't worry, when you come back you'll have only 400 posts to read!!!!
Seeme, my mother sleeps during the night. And she "does" everything in her diaper, so we don't go to the bathroom every two seconds. I guess it is a good thing. She is past the point of being humiliated by that!
Hi Jo, Vic, Texas, Jam, everyone else I didn't mention. I am going to do some shopping with my mother if I can draw her to the car once more. It's getting a very difficult task. She is more and more dead weight. My poor back.

Ladee...happy late birthday! Glad you took frustration out on hangers!! Good for you! You have been missed.
Ros...know what you mean about dead weight! Use your legs as much as possible. Dad pees in diaper during day..not so bad but at night he wakes up and calls...as he is peeing and it doesn't stay in! Arghh..... Lol
Day off was good...caught up on laundry and sleep!
Today is peaceful so far. Love and prayers to all.

Hi all
YR - so good to see u posting – hope dad gest some relief from the pain and u from being overwhelmed and that cooler weather comes ur way – we have mist in the morning now which signals the beginning of fall and will likely have a frost at night before the end of the month. Love the weather as it is now but do not look forward to the winter cold
Ladee – love the internet service and hanger stories – yes whatever it takes – hope Marie remembers to me nicer to u and… vent away – those metal hangers deserve it anyway – good u could laugh at urself
Seeme – hope your IBS is better – that 4:30 am thing was not fun - nasty stuff –have had it off and on and that is when I learned to be a country girl and go when and where I had to – now when u r in the grocery story it is a little more difficult -which reminds me of a story – later - think I may end up like ur OES, Dark side – we all have one!!!
Smiley – Hi and so glad u and hubby had a break – soooo important to get away. Hoping u get good news from the dr and can return to work
Stormy – enjoy the beach!!!! U lucky thing - it will be great – play in the sand with ur lil red – here it will be a tub of water in the backyard for the grandkids and some plastic boats
John – glad you made the trip successfully - good idea to stay out of the drama – unfortunately some seem to be enjoying it
Ros – hi – look after ur back - they aren’t replaceable
Still having a few withdrawal effects – down to 1/8 of a dose and will stay on that I guess for a few days
Going shopping today for a tub for my grandkids to have water play in when they come over tomorrow, a hot water heater for Gary to install, see if I can find a grill/grid for the firepit, some fresh corn and also some coconut milk for making homemade blueberry ice cream oh yes and those long forks to roast marshmallows – mustn’t forget them
Missing my Gordie – happens around special days
Love hugs and prayers to all ♥♥♥

I have Mom living with me for 5 years now. I never in a million years thought this is how I was going to spend my retirement years. I am so glad my husband has decided to keep working otherwise I just couldnt handle having husband home all day and take full time care of Mom.Her Dementia is moderate at this time, kidney failure is close but with constant monitoring fluid intake and a good kidney specialist we are keeping her alive. Its a tough job and I worked in NH all my adult life as an activity director and I saw so much that families went through. Here I am one of them now, and its kinda good I know whats ahead but maybe not so. I will say I am often more tired than I think I should be and I want to fight the tiredness but today I think I will give in and try to rest when I can. I thank all who write thier thoughts and feelings at this wonderful website.. I pray for all caregivers for strength spiritually, emotionally and physically because we need all the help we can get. Have a good day ya'll special ones and rest some it will do you good. I am going to try it too.

Good Afternoon Posse!

ladee.........I've been busy all day! seeme....sorry sweetie the poop crown belongs to me now. It's mine and I'm keeping it.....:) I have been up to my elbows and would someone please tell me where it all comes from? I'm afraid we'll have to get the septic tank cleaned out. I've just about cleaned the color off the toilet.....to say nothing of how many baths can one person get in a single day? This last go-round we managed to keep clothes clean.....don't ask me how, because it really should have been an impossibility but we did it. Every available surface has been cleaned with clorox from one end of the house to the other. The only thing I haven't washed is the dog and I'm hoping he was able to get out of the way.

ladee....I sent the hanger trolls to your work house since there is nothing for them to do here. And your welcome....:) love ya!

seeme.....I so envy you some time away. Whatever are you going to do with yourself? Give sis a big ole hug from all of us!

stormy.....enjoy your time away, I'm sure you will, and please take lots of pics. Want to see lil red playing in the surf and sand! And wave hi to all of us so we will know you really went to the beach.

Hi betty.....you sound like me except my husband retired at the first of the year. If you want to know how many hours a day a person can sleep, just come talk to me. That's a shame about mom's kidney failure...when the organs start to fail it's like a roller coaster. Knowing what to expect doesn't always make it easier but it sure is nice to be able to see things and not have it sneak up on you.

marina.....well tell us more! I like a good love story....:)

emjo....I couldn't live in the northern part of this country where you're looking at frost. We're still melting here. I remember one year when we went to Michigan to visit my mother in the middle of July and woke up one morning to temps around 30 and frost on everything! I was ready to head south.

starri....you must be packing and getting things ready to head out of town. I can't wait to be able to do that.......not a care in the world except for where do we park tonight?

Shawna is busy selling lots of items this weekend....wasn't this the festival weekend?
YR, Vic, must be busy or having "me days".

Rossella....take care of yourself, ditto on what emjo said......was glad to see the video of Nicky....she's a sweetie.

John.....empty nest now? No telling how much trouble you can get into....:)

And anyone else hello, check in and let us know how you're doing.

Love and Hugz to all,
Jam

Jam, I'm not sure how much trouble my wife and I can get into now that our nest is empty.

emjo, drama like I read on one thread makes me want to go into a stealth mode for a while. We have the last half of the drive home to do on Sunday.

ladeeda, Most of the orientation for us parents was very good. It was hard saying good bye, but being our last child, it was harder on my wife. Compared to our oldest son's orientation at an in state university, there were pluses and minuses on each side. Given my family of origin, I would have loved to go to a college like our youngest son has gone to.

Sorry to have been missing alll day...I have read everything and gotten caught up, but it has been a hectic day.

Since it is now 1:45 am on Aug 21, let me be the first to wish emjo a very happy birthday.......and many more......

Jam, I will relinquish the Poop Queen crown to you if it means I no longer have to put up with it !! LOL OK, OK, you can have it for now, since you have a better story than I do at this time. Maybe we need to pass this around, too........hope I don't get it back for a looooooooonng time............

I went to bed after sis got here at 3am until about 7am and mom was done sleeping. Showed sis the every morning routine. Then Kathy and most of her family came over to see Debbie. After everyone left.....I TOOK A 4 HOUR NAP !! Got up around 4:30. Kathy came over with her grandson for Debbie to see and reminded me we were eating at her house........yea!.......no cooking!! We celebrated her almost DIL's birthday. After cake I decided mom needed to go to the ER. She was saying too many outrageous things, and had a strange look to her I just didn't like. We got there just after dark and got home at 1 am. They did chest x-ray, blood work and urine, and she is fine. What??!!?? Urine showed up fine (she just got off antibiotics Tues), and other cultures take 48 hrs. Blood is fine except for slight anemia............doctor thought I was wanting him to place her somewhere. No, not there.......not yet..........not at all, if possible.............

She had a panic attack trying to get in the van. Debbie wasn't doing it the right way, hubby was hollering, while I was getting her medicine list printed off the computer, and mom was screaing HELP! HELP! GET THE AMBULANCE!! When I got there I was able to get her in and she calmed down, but all evening at the hospital her BP was 212/93, 216/96 nothing less than 200/90. They still released her after reminding me that she could be having mini strokes, and maybe that's where the confusion comes from. At Kathy's, she was buying my dad a white truck before it was too late........guess what, mom, it's already too late..........and when she was introduced to Kathy's niece, she looked straight at me and said, Hi Katie. So now it is almost 2:15, everyone asleep but me, so I will give up my peace and quiet and go to bed. Mom's already been up once since I sat here and started typing.

Vic, take it easy.....emjo, if you aren't gonna take it easy, just don't get caught...jam, I know you were in EMS, but I think poo gets caught in there for 50 yrs.........John, I think you can figure out something to do in your empty nest......

And now we have Betty amd Marina.......please check back in and tell us more. We love to see new people here.....don't be strangers.

Starri, What's the word?? Stormy, What Beach??? Remember, no dusk to dawn swimming!!

Ladee, what is the next thing for the BS?? Got curtains? Got ear plugs? Just don't go rocking the van...............

Give me some more time to get used to my hours and I wil be on here more. Now have plans with Kathy for Mon AND Tues.........whoooopppeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Posse!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAR EMJO, HAAAPPPPYYYYY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woke up this morning sore from one end to the other....hmmmmmm......oh yeah, now I remember.....it was all that poop wrangling yesterday. How does one not know they are covered head to toe until someone else points it out? Here's hoping today is a little better. I'm sure glad I own stock in Shout.....all the stains came out of the clothing.

seeme....so sorry about Mom. Sometimes things don't show up at first, so you might want to keep that in mind for a few days. Ya know like when we have that little sore throat and the doc says there is nothing there, then in a few days we have strep, just takes a bit for it to grab. We thought maybe the col might be working on a UTI and that was causing the bizarre behavior yesterday. Going to wait and see today if symptoms remain or get worse. Don't want to start antibiotics too soon if not warranted and then build up an immunity to them. I am so glad you are getting a break....are you and hubby going to get a chance to get away and do something? Maybe even go out to eat together? How about hop on the bike and just go for a nice ride?

stormy.....hope you have lots of fun this week and I'm sure you will. Most people put their location on their profile page, others leave that information blank to protect themselves from unwarranted intrusion into their private lives.

ladee......isn't there some type of noise curfew so you don't have to listen to loud music all the time? That used to be a pet peeve of mine when I still lived in town, now I just listen to the tree frogs at night......sometimes the traffic but I have learned to block that out. Unless an ambulance or fire truck goes past, then they like to honk or hit the siren to say hello.

Today, I'm hoping my son is coming out and we can get the yard finished. Supposed to warm back up after rain Monday and Tuesday and I want this place looking a little trimmer. I have got to brave this heat I guess and get down to the lake house. Need to paint around the front door and sweep out the garage. Have had some people looking but no offers. Need to call the realtor and tell her we will take a low ball just to get rid of it. Since I couldn't talk ladee into renting it..........:)

John......I think between all of us, we can come up with lots of things for you and your wife to do in that empty house. Now you will probably have a whole houseful of college kids popping in for weekend visits.

Rossella..........hope you are having some fun this weekend and not having to work. How did shopping go?

betty, marina, Vic, YR check in when you can.

starri...........I sure hope you are feeling alright. Maybe just busy getting ready to leave? Thinking about you!

Just talked to my son and he is coming out so we can finish the yard work. So guess I should think about moving myself away from the coffee pot.

Love and Hugz to all,
Jam
