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.
Good news on the home. Finally off your plate.
Worried about Evamar and always worry when I hear nothing.
At this point I am beyond worry about needhelp; if anyone EVER hears from her and knows she is OK I would appreciate knowing this. It is now way too long.
Well, it's done and dusted. The house is officially out of my hands and that is a great relief. I had mentioned that now the kids wouldn't have to deal with it, but the main reason for moving is that the condo is a better choice for me/us.
I like this style of living - enough room but not too much, people to get to know and helpful neighbours, but privacy if you want it. Underground parking. Fire in the fireplace without having to cut wood. Lower costs of living. Outside work done by someone else. We still have a view of trees and sounds of wildlife. A sense of security in the building...
These things are good as you age.
And we still have access to the cottage lot for growing things and to R's friends' farms. Love visiting them. I went the other day to B's farm and took photos and will go back. It's so peaceful. I feel blessed.
What's happening?
My brother in law, who also had Parkinson's, had very severe pain, often when lying down at night but also in the day time.
Thanks. You could be right. I will definitely ask about it.
Yikes. Yikes. This is new for him I am assuming and must be quite frightening. Would be for me. I will hope to hear better news tomorrow. Your system has issues. Lordy, so does OURS. I am wishing you so much luck, Eva
Pain in arm, neck, back and down, almost everywhere.
This is our health system in Canada, they are very good if there is emergent need, but there is no one bed available to transfer him.
So in emergency they only control pain, did some testing, all good. But no scans or other testing yet.
It is exhausting, at least pain is under control as hubby was moving and walking quite well.
Maybe will find out more tomorrow. I have a little more hope at least his doctor appeared who will take care of him going forward.
They need to find what is causing that pain, hoping they don’t send him home with prescriptions for various pain killers. I don’t think they will as with PD they need to make sure he is back to baseline to be safely discharged. That they take seriously in knowing caregiver cannot be overwhelmed, yesterday they practically kicked me out to go take care of myself.
Excellent nursing staff, and they really care. It is the system that is not working, people do excellent job amongst all that chaos.
Has he had scans of the area in pain?
I cannot believe you are not admitted and he's still in ER. Call on Social Services tomorrow; be certain this is well covered.
Yikes I am so sorry about this and am thinking you must be exhausted. I checked in to night just to see how things are with you. Please take care. Your poor hubby!
No changes or plan as hubby is still in emergency.
Yesterday pain was worse and the gave him Seroquel for agitation and anxiety and enough painkillers that he has less pain, but no idea what is causing it.
Maybe tomorrow they will transfer him.
Thinking of you and your hubby today.
so sorry to hear about your husband . I hope he starts getting the care he needs soon . Remember to eat and get your rest , and remember to take daily meds if you normally take any .
(((Hugs))).
Fear it is going to be not easy today.
Keep us posted
Hubby in emergency still no rooms and shortage of staff so no improvement today.
Golden,
Hope all goes well tomorrow and it will. I know that final transaction and waiting seems like forever.
I was nervous too in July. It made me laugh to see all that money and poof like magic it disappeared in few moments as condo was paid from it. No regrets though, have lovely place.
Feels lonely tonight.
Been a tough year for many. Myself included.
They are going to admit my husband to hospital, spending time in emergency as there are no rooms available. Maybe tomorrow?
Doctor was supposed to see us or call at 2pm.
Not happening.
Hubby is in so much pain, nothing helped so far, not eating at all and very agitated which is unusual for him.
Evamar, hope you will update us on your hubby.
Everyone hang in there. It's a bumpy ride.
I hope everything works out for your husband.
Hugs
Nacy - It's good to keep your peace.
Eva - Moving is such a lot of work and so is settling in to a new place. I am so sorry to hear that your dh is in hospital, I hope you can get some rest and they find out what is wrong. I think needing activity and projects is part of coping with your husband's illness. You may be grieving the losses you both are experiencing. Such a hard time!!! ((((hugs))))
Nothing to do now only wait till morning when they can run some tests and determine what is wrong which could be days.
Nothing to do with Parkinson’s as per neurologist sudden changes don’t occur, so very distressing but many symptoms point to something else.
I am glad it is behind you.
