Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
Does anyone know how to get rid of water in your ankles?????????
last time ike conned me into a trip to town i got my a** soaked . good one ike ..
my grandgirl loves me ( and the fudge cookies ) kaz . the grandson pretends to love me for the loud motorcycle . its all good i s' pose ..
Food was to die for and really cheap tapas every night and as i didnt meet up with anyone i had plenty of money for eating out and shopping! not much else to do when youre on your own?
So next trip Indiana!!!!!!!! and dont worry ill buy you some millk!!
Good youre going to see the grandkids again you should post some photos for us! I never had a granddad which i would have loved to have had, could have explained a few dysfunctional truths about family and saved me a few bob on therapy!!
not as humorous as fish heads on a stick but considerably more palatable . doc sed i need sugar but i dont think he meant with a spoon outta the sugar bag .
i love milk , just usually too cheap to buy it . ill get some today , these headaches will put you on the ground ..
Cap you need a good woman to look after you make sure youre eating a proper meal everyday!!
What about that nurse with the nice a**??????? ask her out? whats the worst that can happen?
to work yesterday and the headache eased right up .
what a bummer , there are few breakfast items that i care much for .
had a fasting blood test last week and the doc asked me if i was diabetic -- said something was outrageously low , i didnt catch what it was .
ill get something in here for a quick breakfast if its nothing but fish heads on a stick ..
think ill wash off about an inch of hydraulic oil and stump dust and go see my aunt , er , that nurse with the nice looking behind who keeps sneaking me free lunch .. ive eaten better jail food but never served by such a cute old gal ..
the dam headache exists this morning pre coffee or anything .
at least these meds work . the old stuff had a miserable 35 - 40 % success rate ..
ill go run a chainsaw , thatll settle it down ..
I forgot to buy a carton of eggs today, so no eggs for breakfast tomorrow. I guess breakfast will just be salami sandwich. I think tonight I will google Simple recipes for macaroni and tuna. I don't like mayonnaise so I'm going to find alternatives...with lots of onions.
This morning, sis and I had breakfast at a restaurant. She wanted to try their mushroom appetizer. I put some on my plate. My over-medium eggs was very very oily. Her mushrooms were very very oily, and had NO taste at all. I put some blackpepper. Still tasteless. So, I had to put salt. Sis was very disappointed on the tasteless mushroom. I told sis that I may not know how to cook, but I bet I can cook mushroom that would have taste. So...that is my next goal. Look for some Simple recipes to cook mushroom. And then make it for sis. (Today, she bought me a computer chair that cost $88.00. I'm sitting on it right now.) The least I can do is try to cook her favorite food. P.S... Sis couldn't believe that the restaurant also didn't know how to make toast bread.
very healthy blood numbers . cholesterol , blood pressure , liver numbers of a normal person . im not a total idiot , just lean it out too much sometimes ..
I'd say you'd better fire that caregiver and find someone you has your best interests at heart. How would you react if someone treated Edna that way? Heck, how would you react if someone treated Ike that way?
You've been through a tough stretch, and now the goin' is just gettin' good again. Don't blow it now, buddy!
im pretty sure the hepc treatment is a success . aside from the dam headache my energy level is outrageous and the arm , back , and shoulder muscles keep building ..
got to start eating better . one meal every 2 days probably isnt quite enough for the amount of heavy exercise im getting .
im interested in taking edna for our country rides again but ill have to ask around and see who i have to kill to make this happen . i think its only been discouraged thus far to help edna settle in and accept the waters nh as her new and probably final home . me and poa are ok again . she pulled a dirty trick on me going partying with her family instead of relieving me on the preagreed upon night . it didnt work . im getting too sharp in the head to be had and realize it hours later .. i see it as its happening nowdays and will stick a wrench in your gears in a skinny minute ..
arsenic ..
i have a headache that actually put me on the ground beside my truck for 2 hours today . it wasnt dental , had all that checked out . evidently its those malingering hepc drugs . guess ill ask the va about a possible brain absess since ive had a little ear infection that hasnt really cleared up in months . i dont like to play doc but the more you can tell them about your own symptoms and history , usually the better .
ive eaten both cans of sardines and as it turns out they came from china . never again .. it is not a prejudiced or racist statement to say that chinese manufacturers will sell you deadly poisonous food , its happened all too often .
aunt edna is in nh and doing pretty well considering how late stage her dementia is . she was freezing in the hallway in her wheelchair today so i asked her if shed like to go put on her warm sweater . she said yes but she dont know what to do . i took her to her room , got her warm sweater on her then apologised to the nurse for wrecking her lunch appetite with a donut . nurse said , hon , she so far along she can eat whatever pleases her . i thought that too but didnt want to make enemies with this particular nurse . shes my age and has a nice looking behind . im evil but at least honest about it ..
i eat apples in a peculiar way , speaking of lazy . i cut it in half and eat apple , skin , core , seeds and all . they are just too troublesome to peel and core to suit me ..
i think the skins are the best part of a baked potato ..
But the skins interfere with mashing if you are doing it with a stand mixer or an immersion blender. I'm thinking of hunting through the stuff stored in the basement to find a potato masher. That old-fashioned non-electric tool handled the peel just fine!
im going to eat my boiled chicken tonight . having one or two jaw teeth removed tomorrow . at my age i still have plenty . glad they behaved till the hepc tx was over .
ednas poa is being hateful again . i was ok when i was caring for her mom for 11 months but get bent and leave it to her for a few days and im a sorry dog . its ok . ive learned when someone is screwing with you to carry on without so much as a mean look . it just burns em to the ground .
it takes practice but its a blast after you get good at it . every one in three different agencies knows whos been doing the work . i have nothing to prove to her or anyone ..
ill cook edna some apples tonight and see her before and after work as always ..
tonight I am doing russett ones so I will peel. When I do the red ones I leave the skin on. Funny I have never thought about leaving the skins on for mashed even though I do when I bake, fry or scallop. Has anyone ever tried the russett mashed with skins?
