Sass, I have hearing aids, because I can't hear hardly at all without them! The technology IS very good! And getting better all the time. The tests are done, and they can program the hearing aids for YOUR hearing loss.
I know men are the stubborn ones, and even if they DO get them, they won't wear them, because sound is not the same .... as our own hearing! But I would rather hear, than not! I would never go out, without them.... anymore than my upper plate.... Ha! OR my make-up, and my hair done.

Chevy - Maybe this is a call for DH and you. Maybe neighbor's son is afraid the plumbers are going to to rip him off on the plumbing job. Since he's the one who said to call you. If these guys have been doing her plumbing for years, what the heck? My GM had the plumber, heating man, AC man, you name it out to see about her stuff well into her early 90s. Nobody ever went to supervise. I think they all went to the same church so better not gip a fellow member. OR son wants to get the story straight about what's wrong - like has mom been stuffing stuff down the toilet/sink that doesn't belong. Sounds like she's an accident waiting to happen. Son will come to the realization of this hopefully b4 something devastating happens to her. (the plumber may be ammo in his arsenal to move her). She sounds like someone who would do well in Assisted Living. Social, mod. independent.
NO, no, no - you don't need to be taking her for walks. You who are recovering. Geesh - if she were to fall you could be liable. Or hurt yourself again. There is only so much a neighbor can do. Sounds like you are at that limit. Emergencies are one thing (so long as her dizzy spells are not hourly or even daily) - daily walks no way. Act like an invalid - limp (not to be confused with in-vah'-lid - ain't English great).

Luv, I agree that everyone doing everything for her is disguising the help she needs day to day. She may need a live in caregiver. She would probably enjoy assisted living. They usually have lots of activities for residents. All the fun without the responsibility. The ones I have been in were quite nice (and not the super expensive ones).

I'm so glad you guys answered! When she asked me to take her for walks, I said, "Well, WE don't even go anymore!" But we DID walk up to Starbucks today, and I did okay with my cane.
She said her DIL told her to tell me to take her for walks when I go... I live about 5 houses from her... And I could go get her, and walk her back down here, but I AM afraid she would fall! Maybe if I take the walker up for her? They loaned me their walker, because they had 2.... maybe I'll tell her she has to bring the walker when she walks with me!
She DOES need a care-giver.... maybe I'll bring this up to her... They DO have plenty of money.... and that way she could stay in her home!
She USUALLY has her nephew come and do her plumbing work.... I don't know about this time... I'm waiting for her to call....
Yes, she IS an accident waiting to happen.... I mean I am bad enough myself.... Ha!
She can hardly see.... has macular degeneration, and cannot read the paper AT all.... Honestly, if I were in her shape, I would not WANT to live there alone.
I think she thinks since she has so many people always coming around her, and taking her places, that she can do anything she wants.
She said she now pays her Son and DIL for what they do for her.... But they have to go see her CONstantly it seems like... They are the ones who want her to be safe, and move where there is more supervisio....
I USED to take her to the store, shopping, but that was 2 years ago... I was afraid THEN for her to walk across the parking lot, and in the store... Now I have a cane, and so does she....
Okay.... you are right.... best not to walk with her.... Her DIL is the one that suggested that... SHE can take her for a walk.

Boy howdy.....I would not want that stress. I also would not want to be a PITA, and dominate my kids lives..
FiercestBlue, what a lovely photo of you. My hair looks like a bubble or helmet head. I need it shaped desperately, but waited too long & hairdresser is out of town. I probably will go to someone else for a trim.
GardenG, you take the best road trips. I drove through there many years ago. Very pretty.
Blessings, sounds like a big job. One trash bag at a time....
Sas, I have no suggestions, cause I really am clueless when it comes to all this tech stuff. I do like my I Pad.
2nd, sorry you are dealing with all this. My folks & in-laws did not have those problems. But my parents both died in there 60s, so maybe they would have if the lived longer.
Waving hello to all INSOMNIACS.....hot here, cannot believe the 4th is almost here.

Just finished the USA vs Belgium game...not a huge soccer fan but it was a good game.I slept today for about 2 hours, felt good. My step-mom took my little dd out to get nails done, lucky girl! But, the sleep was good. I fixed my clogged sink, but that kicked my butt.
DH is not a fix it guy, wish he was. Our other bathroom toilet is constantly running, I threatened today to hire a plumber. He won't want to spend the money maybe that'll get him motivated to try and fix it.
We are supposed to go to my step-brother's saturday to cele brate the 4th. He lives out in the country so we can do fireworks, I just hope to not feel to worn out. Oh my eyebrows are almosst gone now. I thought i was gonna get lucky and keep them, but I guess this last chemo had other plans.
Love you ladies...you brighten my day. I don't do a good job of addressing everyone's stuff, but I do read it. ((hus))

Hi gals, I've been awake and working I just turned my phone for voicemail-ARGGGGG to many people have such problems and of course they want everthing done today or tomorrow.
OK Chevy of course u can't take her for a walk, if u walk u have to take care of u'rself and not be responsible for anyone else anymore--that's whst u tell them but maybe nicer. LOL With that silver tongue of u'rs it will come out as a compliment so don't give it a worry. It's really up to the fsmily now to take charge or continue to placate her--is the a word??--Oh well
OK GG now I forgot is it u'r anniversary--well whoever is having one Congratulations.
Tang u can break down whenever u want but u have to unbreak u'rself quickly then it's OK. I break down at least once a day maybe 2x--I deserve to too LOL
OK I'm going to rest for awhile, chit I was just thinking if Chevy doesn't know what I said I wonder if my boos understand EVERYTHING.. Oy Vey

luvmygoats, my rat terrier is 20 lbs. He is really slowing down now that he is 13. He got Lymes disease when he was 3 and has had a seizure disorder ever since. He was born on Valentine's day and has a heart on him.
Tang, you nap whenver you need to and don't feel guilty. Hubby should feel guilty for not fixing the leaky toilet. It's an easy fix, even I can do it. Probably just need a new float valve. There are lots of handy videos on Youtube to help him diagnose the problem.
HoleinOne, it is HOT here too! Someone turn the oven off outside! Seeing this photo of my dog makes me miss the winter.
Sas, hope Schatzi shots went well.
Cami, I don't know how you keep up. I'm supposed to head back to work soon and I am dreading it! I couldn't keep up when I was running full steam.
Has anyone heard from Chevy? Did the plumbers attack her? Send those crazed plumbers over to Tangs so they can fix her toilet!

FBB - My rattie has heart too but not as well defined as your's has. Terra - her name - her ears flop over 1/2 way which is kinda cute - they bounce. She is brown and white.
Why yes Cami placate is a perfectly fine word and you used it absolutely right.
Think Chevy is already in bed. Needs her beauty sleep.
Yes, we always have spare toilet innards in the closet for just such emergencies.

Hello and goodnight ladies..enjoyed catching up. Tired, hoping for sleep.

hi all! Busy 2 days... Lots to catch up on.
Blessings, oh my! Night mare is right! And in this heat! Please be careful. Little steps.
Smarty, hang in there! Waiting is no fun. Your great grand? I don't have grands (yet)...
GG, congrats on the anniversary! Sounds like a great trip! Wish there were pictures
Pawprint (almost wrote PP but that might be confusing with Patty P), are you feeling any better? Even a bit? Hot where you, I'll bet. Hoping you and the fur babies doing better.
Nettie, I'm with you on the nervous breakdown! Need to get that on scheduled.
Tang, at least you got some sleep, that's a step in the right direction. You rock, BTW! You've got so much going and you can unclog clogs too!
Gotta post now before I lose it all.
Edited to add:
Sas, I agree with Hi1, I love my iPad for all things internet. Works great for FB, email, BCO, searches, used to input daily time card info (back when I worked), only drawback is useless for word processing, creating and edited word files and spread sheets. Handy, quick, (relatively) inexpensive. We got Dad a kindle years ago, uses it only to read books, he just said otherwise a kindle is useless (for him) and loves the iPad. Might check into that.
FierceBB, was thinking adorable fur baby, didn't even see the heart! How special for the heart and the Valentine's birthday! What's his name btw?
So, my life is anything but dull! Went to a job fair with a friend yesterday (her DH recently passed away), she needs to re-enter the job market (she's a substitute teacher and needs something more regular). We made a day of it yesterday. Went to consult with a career coach today (state services) to see what they could offer (so far, not much). On the way, found out that my dad has decided he can't care for mom so we're starting placing her into assisted living (memory care). Problem is, she's too far gone to place her here at this community as planned will have to place her where she'll receive more care. Poor dad is totally distraught but we can't believe he's lasted this long. I checked out the new facility this afternoon, this is a BIG step. So, staying with dad tonight, will see what tomorrow brings. (Been thinking that maybe I'm meant to get mom settled before the job appears so I can have the time and energy now to care for both of them. Life gets complicated..... The 5th will be one year since last (revision) surgery.
Big THANK YOU for all your support. It makes my heart happy to know I can count on the family you've all become to me.

Chevy, Maybe it's time to have a word with DIL about it being inappropriate to tell her to call you for everything. It does sound like a live-in caregiver might be what she needs. Or move in with DS & DIL. I'll bet that's DIL's worst nightmare. Definitely catering to her every whim is giving her an unfair advantage - but it takes 2 to play that.
FBB, Great shot of your dog. It's not easy to photograph a white dog with a white background and it's clear as can be.

Hi again
Luv thanks for validating my word, I really looked at it and thought is it?
2nd U've got a lot to do--so sweet to stay with u'r dad, this is very difficult for him and of course u. I remember--sending good wishes u find the right place and it's close, that's important too.
Chevy I agree with Wren, except now I forgot what she said exactly but I do remember thing Oh Wren good in my head, or I might have said it out loud.
FBB I love u'r dog and that heart is an immediate see--I love to see pics of everyones pets, I wish I could put pics in cuz I'd show u mine--oops that had a bad sound to it. And u know I'm as lazy as they come so please don't say things like I'm busy.
OK I'm waving (I really do too)

Nettie – I have sparkly hair, too. That is, if I wait too
long to get it colored!!!FierceBluebird – you know so much about those gorgeous
kitties! Cute heart marking on your furbaby.Sassypants – sorry about your computer’s fever. Did you give
it some Tylenol? Hoping for a good report on Schatzi!Chevy – DH sat down and watched an episode of Hoarders with
me this afternoon. It gave him a better understanding of why Dad can’t throw
out expired food, or get rid of the boxes of crap he has. As far as your
elderly neighbor goes, it is very loving and compassionate of you to be able to
be there for her. But there comes a time when “helping” turns into “being used!”I agree with everyone else…. Needing so much help is an
indication that she can no longer be on her own. And as far as having her
children EXPECT you to do things, well, they can just get their butts over
there, or haul their wallets out and pay for full-time care. It’s a sad state
of affairs when an elderly person gets to that point, but you need to ask
yourself: what is in the best interest of that person?You may want to screen her calls. Don't answer the phone. If she can’t
connect with you, she’ll have to call the next person on her list. You can
still be a good neighbor, take her a cake, sit for a conversation, but on YOUR
time, and YOUR schedule. None of that
home-caregiver stuff! It just isn’t your
job. Can you tell I have strong feelings about this?Cami – hope your weather has improved! I SO wish there was
some giant pipeline from the East Coast to the West, so all the extra snowfall
and rainfall and overflowing rivers could send all that water to us in drought
country!Smaarty – Ooooh! A great-grandson! Hope he arrives safely,
and soon! Congrats to you and to the new family!Gardengumby – my Nana lived in Puyallup and every summer I
went up there to stay with her and my grandpa for a few weeks. I always loved
driving around pronouncing names of places…. Snoqualmie, Enumclaw, Sedro Wooley….
And wherever we went, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous! Wishing you and your
hubby a belated Happy Anniversary!Pawprint – Dad has done the same thing – gone out and
retrieved things from the trash! That’s why we always bring a supply of trash
bags when we go over there, and take the filled ones with us when we leave.Hi, Wren! Hi, LMG!
Holeinone – Funny! One trash bag at a time…. Our new
motto!!!Tang! Glad you got a good nap in…. but watch out for those
home repairs… they ALWAYS take longer than you think they will! Hope you are up
to a trip out to the country to do fireworks.2TA – such a stressful time, I know. You may be right about
the job hunt, and being available to use this time to help your parents. I
always told DH that he would never regret the time he spent helping his mom and
dad. After Mom passed, he told me how grateful he was that I encouraged him to “just
do it”.You will NEVER regret the time you have spent helping your
folks get settled, and stay healthy in their later years. It’s just a shame
that Alzheimer’s takes such a toll on the whole family. If Mom goes to Memory
Care, can Dad stay where he is? Having her taken care of 24/7 may improve HIS
life considerably. And if he’s anything like my FIL, his days will consist of
being at the new place just to be close to his wife. But he won’t have to worry
that she’ll wander off, or leave the stove on, and he won’t have to sleep with
one eye open.You are an awesome daughter, and I have so much respect for
what you are doing for your parents…0 -
Oh, fer cryin' out loud!
I've been on this computer for what seems like hours and now it's 2 a.m.
I didn't sleep well last night, and got up at 10:30, only because the cleaning ladies were here.
I finally got my report from Kaiser on the Sleep Apnea study, and it said that they want me to do ANOTHER, more sophisticated test.... but I can't get in til the 28th! DH was confirmed to have Sleep Apnea, and picks up his machine on the 9th.
BAH!
I took a nap around 4 pm, and woke up at 7 pm. A young woman I consider to be like a daughter to me had called to thank me for a card I sent her. (Her mom was like my sister in high school.) I called her back and we talked for an hour and a half!
By then I had my second wind, and tried talking to DH, whose eyeballs practically rolled back in his head, he was so tired. It was after 8:30 pm...... his bedtime! Old fart....
So then I came in and checked email, Google, Facebook, and BCO... where did the time go?
Guess I'd better go... I have to set my alarm in the morning... appointment at Kaiser at 10:45 a.m. .... crack of dawn!!!!! UGH!!!!
Hope all you lovely Owlettes are having sweet dreams!!!
xoxoxo

Good morning my friends.... YES, it IS morning... 4:40, and you are all asleep, hopefully!
Yes, you are all right! I went up to neighbors... She called, like I knew she would.... and when I got there, I asked her "are you afraid of someone coming in here?" Because I said, the Cable guy comes in, and your swamp-cooler guy, and you aren't afraid!
But she said "I know, but Judy told me to call you!" And it was Judy that told her to tell me to take her for walks.
So I said, in my nicest forlornly voice, "Theresa, I can take you for a walk, down to my house, but I am bringing the walker up for you to use, because I am too afraid, you MIGHT fall, and I'd have to drag you back
home, by your heels, and it's too hard with my cane!"
Then she laughed, and she then said, I walk all the time around HERE, I go empty the trash, I walk in the stores, and in church, so I don't need to walk anymore! I said "don't tell Judy."
No, Blessings, you are right... I realized NOW, that she should NOT be on her own... We'll see how long it is before Steve or Judy make this decision FOR her...
She is going today to Beauty Shop.... then Judy takes her shopping tomorrow... Then shower time... then Church on Sunday...
What I CAN do is let the answering machine pick up calls, and see who it IS first... Ha!
She IS using everybody... She did this years ago, when I used to do her hair! And then taking her to the store... but I got too afraid she would fall 2 YEARS ago.... SHE didn't, I DID... walking back from seeing HER.... Ha, ha!
I went up there, and said.... "I don't think that guy has time to attack us before Steve gets here!" So I stayed 1/2 hour, and that plumber guy was just doing his job, and not us....
Steve got there, because I told her that guy looked fine to me, and I would stay 1/2 hour, and then go home, because I was cooking beans and peppers.
MY DH is losing patience with her... even more than me!
I'm not even CALLING to ask if her drains are running now!
My DH would be a hoarder too! I mean he has all his shirts that he ever HAD I think! When they look to faded, ragged, I tell him, "Okay, that is a garage shirt... keep that one out there... It is a lawn-mowinggarageshirt, so don't wear it anywhere else."
He always says "Oh I've seen guys wear worse than this, and with no buttons on them!" And I say "Those are your bar buddies, and they probably don't have a wife that cares about them or how they look, and you are NOT homeless!"
If he wants to look like that, HE can go up to Theresa's.... she couldn't see what he has on ANYway.... I know.... shame on me.... but it was funny, when I thought of it. I made myself smile....
WrenI'm 1/2 scared of Judy myself! She is a bitch, and a boss, and I don't like to be around her! She bosses Theresa ALL the time... So I just might be sneaky and under-handed, and stay clear away from her!
I love your Terrier Fiercly! She looks just like my Grandma's dog, that I took when Grandma had to move away to assisted living! SHE later got seizures also! I gave her pills, but they became constant... I held her when I had to put her to sleep... Oh Geez, I hate thinking about this..... She was older also....
Cammi! I don't have a "silver tongue"....! Ha, ha! I'm just nuts.... that's all... I like to make people laugh... sometimes, like I said, I get close to knowing what you are talking about... but no.... your "boos" doesn't have a clue what you are talking about.
He probably doesn't care... he probably loves you, like a way-ward kid, so anything you talk about is okay. He probably brings you treats.
Love you Tang... Just draw your eyebrows in.... I do 1/2 of mine anyway. I use a little eyebrow brush, and shade in dark shadow very lightly... then I have a tinier brush, like with one bristle, and with eyeliner, or even just plain old ink, you can get from a craft store, I draw little hairs in there... in where I put the eyebrow color.... You can't even tell.... honest!
My DD in Orlando is having "issues" with oldest Son... GEEZ I hate when 2 people I LOVE are not getting along.
They are both alike, which is the problem.... Both very opinionated, and both hell-bent on proving they are right.
He lives with his girl-friend, so that should be no problem, right? (again) And I don't want to know the details... I don't think a "family meeting" is the way to do it... I think she should just step away for awhile...
Don't try and be the Mother figure all the time... write him a sweet little caring note, and mention to him that "Although you are driving me nuts, I still love you"..... and blah, blah.
I hate confrontations... Always have... so if there is a beef, I am outa-there!..... Yes, HIO.... just like that! I feel like she always wants to be the Mom...
He has to make it on his own... he is 28.... bought a home with his GF, 2 blocks away, but for some reason, "Mom" is involved in everything...
Littlegoats..Yes.... I'm always in bed early, and get up about 4... but I love it like that...! Wish it WAS beauty sleep....Ha!
222222222222nd....So sorry you are going through all of this.... I know how you feel.... I think it happens to all of us, sooner or later... and yes, it CAN be heart-breaking.... It was easier with my Grandma, when I had to move her to assisted-living right from the Hospital, because we all thought she would go back home....! But Dementia took over.... got really bad... and she couldn't go home again.
Then when my Mom passed away, Dad got really bad also, but I promised him I wouldn't put him in a nursing home... but he kept falling, etc!... So I had 24 hour care go in.... THAT was expensive...
Then .... (long story) that had to stop.... But he kept going to hospital for everything going wrong!
And things sort of took care of themselves.... I guess you could say...
Like they say, "Time heals all".... something like that.

Kipper is my dogs name. His ears used to flop over and then one day they were both standing up!
Helping my parents move after 50 years of hoarding by my dad was a nightmare. We too used to have to cart home all the bags of trash and crap in our pickup truck so he wouldn't take it back in the house. Once when we filled it with Christmas crap we were driving home down the highway and I panicked worried that my husband didn't secure the bags and they would be flying out the back. He just laughed and drove faster saying "merry Christmas for all!"
Ok, off for a day of testing. MRI and scans. Prayers appreciated!

Owls passing a bladder stone. Not fun. At least I have this kindle and the tv in the bathroom. Same station as the tv room. Ah and pain meds too.. but it does not touch pain when the wave hits.
Chevy I agree with everyone that says not to walk with lady for all the reasons that each has given. So much good advice from so many. Please do not try to talk yourself into doing stuff.
The woman saying her dil said to ask you. Ask dil if she really said that. Classic manipulation.
Making head way . Possible I passed it with the last wave. Whew that would be the fastest . Only about two hours. Hoping.

So this is Bradley, big boy, 8 lb 12 oz, 22" long, July 2 at 12:15. They were hoping he would be dark not blonde, so not the daddy they were hoping for. I got to listen to the last few minutes just before he was born.
Good luck FFB with your tests. Sass, sounds pretty painful, hope it passed. Everybody else, have a good day.
0 -
Yay. I did pass the major portion of the stone. I can tell because of the symptoms. The next hours will tell if there are any fragments.
Been through this twice before. One passed intact. Very rare. Minimal symptoms after it passed. The second passed with shards then passing over four days.
Wow the relief is so major. Damn . So wish I did not keep having these learning experiences in real time. It makes it easier to know what to do and I will be able to help someone else.......but not easy way of learning.

Sas - my hubby's last stone was too big to pass and wouldn't shatter. they had to cut through his back and into his kidney, cut the stone in pieces and extract it through his ribs. Be glad you could pass the stone!!0 -
Smarrty What wonderful news, congratulations to everyone. Beautiful baby.
Maddie praying for you. Your such a great daughter. Think you are right about timing. Or at least it certainly is happening this way.
Bluebird I agree about no one posting on your thread. Your explanation of Chimera is very good, but it is still way difficult to understand. There have been several shows on tv over the last year's. The shows did the explanation and it was fascinating.
Chevy ....normal abnormal variant... lol. Yes it seems a far out phrase, but it does make sense. The definitions of the words contradict , but it is the shades of gray that allow them to be used together . If I wrote out the full explanation it would be very long. Like chimera lol.
Stone. Worst is over. Still have some effects.

Oh good GOD girls! Eeeeeks! I can't imagine! I don't want to....!
Littlegardens, I didn't know they did that! I had heard they can put you in a tub of water, and "zap" the stones, with something.... Am I dreaming this?
Sass, that has to be sooooo painful!
Beautiful little baby Smarty! I'm not even going to ASK about the "Daddy they were hoping for."
That's funny Fiercly! About Christmas decorations blowing all over!
Okay Sass, I'm not going to walk with her.... I don't even like using my cane mySELF, much less dragging someone else along with THEIR cane! I don't want to mess with her DIL.... she is like a bull-dog.... I mean she should be a drill Sergeant!
Going to meet my child-hood friend with DD for lunch, and then coming back her to watch another movie.... Y'all can come by if you want to?

GG . Yup, I agree. Very happy right now. Oh what a relief it is. I have worked in the operating room on hubby surgery. Very big deal surgery.
What is your advice on new computer.? So many comments here and from others about iPAd. Why is that? Very interested to know. I would not know what an iPAd was if I fell over it.

iPad is like a computer, a little bigger than a kindle fire. Can't replace a PC if you do other types of things on a PC. I have embroidery, publishing, and photoshop software on my PC, you can't get that with a tablet. The new Surface might be good if you can load software on it if you need it. Depends on what kind of stuff you do. Go to a Apple store and check it out.
Are you anywhere where that hurricane is coming in?

- Chevy, daughter maybe a bulldog, but she needs to hear that the woman is attempting to manipulate others by lieing if she is lieing about daughter telling her to call you . Have no idea why that number is there and can not erase it. Kindle?

FBB, I love the markings on your dog, and the story about his ears flopping, then sanding straight up. Best wishes for you today for clear scans, MRI , and good test results.
Sas, omg....I have had kidney stones, and I'm sure your bladder stones hurt just the same. I hope it's completely gone, with no fragments.
2nd, you are dealing with so much trying to help your parents. My heart goes out to you. It's sad that people go thru so much as they age.
Smaarty, what a cute baby. I know there is a story about who the father is???
Good luck on your sleep study Blessings.
Hugs to all of you owlettes.

Chevy just take care of u'rself the chickens need u, they're some of u'r responsibility now Remember that.

Blue, good luck on scans ...missed that. New add on tv about Agenus(?) Producing a new drug. Sounds like it may fit your scenario. I can not search, but thought it would be good to tell you before I forget.
My problems with computer apparently started before my searching on Sat. At least I can feel less guilty about it.
Thanks Cami an PPT. And everyone about stones. Looking good at this point that shards are not a problem with this one.
Back to computer . Talked with geek squad person at Best BUy learned iPAd not for me because I can not use my tech service or transfer data from my computer.
