I remember going through similar stuff with my Mom's cancer, Barb. You can't second guess yourself and you can't feel guilty. Just be there for her as I know you are. Lots of love, prayers and hugs coming your way.
went to the ER yesterday .. did not want to go .. but my regular doctor
advised me that i should .. i understand that there is going to be a wait ..
but 6 hours in the waiting room and another 3 in a little room
while in the worst pain of my life seems a tad long to me ..
and they would not even give me anything for pain until i had someone there
to drive me home .. so .. my wife takes the little ones to my moms and comes up
there .. i tell the triage nurse i have a ride .. she gives me 600mg ibuprofen ..
what a long day ...
Not sure if you meant Barb or me, but since you quoted my post I figured I'd better answer! I've been here pretty much every day. I just don't always get on until a little later, and I am working on getting some stuff done around the house, so I need to stay off of this thing even more than I have been!i was just thinking today that i had not see you in awhile, barb. where u been? hope all is well
The nursing home that my mom is at is suppose to be one of, if not, the top nursing home in the area but I still have problems dealing with the bureacracy and the errors that I see on a regular basis. I visit my mom daily.
i am bored, bored bored. don't want to cook, sew or bake. don't even want to read. no clue what this is all about. very restless , maybe it is the wind and fires news
tv does not entice. dc isn't even pulling me in maybe i should just go to bed and cover my head. lol
hey, Barbs, I just saw the Traveling Welcome Logo above you picture..........how nice........that's what you did...........now you and Maidrite need to come to Houston in the near future......... my.hubby just told me that even though we were supposed to retire in the next year it may be another 5 due to the economy............oh , whoopie...........how thrilled I was...........like wee beasties in my pantry..........whooopie,,,,,,,Not sure if you meant Barb or me, but since you quoted my post I figured I'd better answer!

I hope you are feeling better today!!

Yikes, Debs that is sick...One day she will get what's coming to her in spades..Maybe daughter will see to it she has such special care in her old age!!! It's okay Deb, you were doing what was intended for you to do and HE will welcome you with open arms when the time comes...my darling sister had my Dad in a private homecare (he had dementia, too)........that Charolotte absolutely allowed you NOT to visit unless you called ahead of time.......it was a private homecare....there were two other men including him and he had enough presence of mind to emphatically say that he hated it and esp. the food....I really don't know how sedated or restrained he was when we were not there..........I questioned the grand poohbah bear about it and she had her nose so out of joint that I backed off.......shouldn't have........really, really shouldn't have......I regret it to this day......he was getting no physical therapy at all.........after he died she took everything.........I mean everything..........should have sued her but was overseas and had teens to run after and just didn't have the time..........years later her daughter bragged to one of my older cousins that her mom made a lot of $$$$.........really?????
you know I didn't think of it that way..........my niece is very materialistic and so it might happen.........I really do hope that there is life after death.........I know that my Dad would be shocked at her..............if she has him to answer to so much the better..........as always, my dear, thanks for your support..........these webs that we weave...........Yikes, Debs that is sick...One day she will get what's coming to her in spades..Maybe daughter will see to it she has such special care in her old age!!! It's okay Deb, you were doing what was intended for you to do and HE will welcome you with open arms when the time comes...

Sweetie, you shouldn't have to handle it alone..You have a best friend and a dear husband who will run to your side..He loves you so to help you is his gift to your love...I understand the lack of sleep and the pain so I can tell you, it's okay and I also understand how it hurts to lose things you treasure..But HE will provide if you let HIM..Just remember you don't have to handle this on your own, you two will pull together as a team.Get some rest so the pain will lessen and STOP kicking things with your foot..Geez girl, do I have to come sit on ya? It will get better and just lean on us here, cry to us, vent to us..that is why we are here..Hugs to both of youThanks, kades. I am crying even more now. I needed that "talking to" and I needed it from you. I think the biggest thing is that I am just tired of having to deal with everything through pain and lack of sleep. If I was my normal self this wouldn't get to me so bad. Also, it is hard throwing out memories as I go through the damaged boxes. But I feel that TGL allowed this to happen so we would let go of a lot of things and "get our house in order". Thankfully it did happen while DH is unemployed because I wouldn't have been able to handle it all on my own.
Thanks, again friend.
