Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
My Mind isn't on all the time - I was surprised at the old dates and wondered what had happened! Finally I realized that I had wanted to see an entire thread, and had switched to 'Oldest First' ! So glad it is just me, and not the Forum.
i am getting ready to make my move to the condo I bought last year after my husband died. My house is sold and closed. I have 45 more days to move. I’ve cleaned out, thrown away, donated and disposed of a pile of “stuff”. still a little to do.
But there are still times that grief takes ahold and just won’t go away. I don’t cope very well. I’ve gone to a grief support group. Best characterized as a cat fight by a bunch of women trying to latch onto the one or two widowers there. I’m going to a psychologist for counseling which helps a little. I’ve gone out on 4 or 5 dates which wasn’t all that special. Perfectly nice men, but not truly interested.
I wish I would get up one morning and this was all over with. I have no real problems. Just the never ending grief.
she had enough savings with her LTC to last 4 years which seemed like a reasonable time frame when I placed her there as she was 92 1/2 then
There will be an answer for you.
I’ve heard from other family members they’ve balked at the increase
mom’s meager LTC policy is up in 4 months
I feel for you Captain. It must feel horrible to have this unresolved for so long.
im going to bed because i get up at 4 am just to have some peace and thought before heading to work at 6 ish .
i only take two medications . i take small doses of ambien to help me get to sleep and small bits of viagra to prevent me from rolling out of bed . that isnt what theyre prescribed for but its what im presently using them for . docs have stopped listening to their patients , we have to help ourselves .
Call a number to talk or be referred for help.
I had heard on the radio recently that Amazon didn't sell cbd but maybe they were referring to products with thc also
I bought an organic brand at Sprouts which I had researched beforehand
https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/cbd-thc-difference#1
"All CBD products are illegal if they’re sold with the promise of medical benefits."
you won’t be able to get cbd on Amazon
sprouts carries it though
I bought some lotion to try on the Viking - it’s expensive
I'm going to try it too and see if it helps my hip any
Thank you for letting me know- please give her my best
I was unaware there were problems on the site
I remember Luckylu got those for her Mom.
They did not need refrigeration.
found the Viking alone in a room with a plate of uneaten dinner
hoca shortstaffed again and no one could help her in solitary confinement
they've also changed the code so no one can enter or leave unless someone is at the front desk to be buzzed in or out
I sympathize.
Glad she is doing better.
she's still banned from the dining room
she is complaining of her teeth hurting when she eats and cries out
she had a very bad dentist in her youth that did nerve damage when pulling a tooth so when she tells me her lower jar hurts I know what's she's saying
I have a care plan meeting later this month - as long as they don't force her out of her room, I'll cave on the dining room issue
how are you and Jay?
I've been having dental woes as of late. Not fun. The poor Viking. :(
Doesn't look good? I thought the whole point was providing comfort and care for our elderly. Who cares how it looks? I think it looks worse when you walk through a facility and see elderly shut up in their rooms peering out when you walk by. Or wandering the halls aimlessly.
