Ah geez 22222222222nd! WAIT... I tried to get in the
house, and my head wouldn't fit! DANG! Ha!Okay, this is just me, but I would rather your Mom stayed
in the Hospital, or somewhere like that, until she knows what is going on....
and isn't falling asleep like that.... Is it the meds?I don't think your Dad could take care of her at home....
or you.She sounds like she isn't in full control of herself
yet... and maybe tell them, SHE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE until we find out what is
wrong, and will she ever be able to function for herself!I think when your Dad keeps seeing her like this, it will
make it easier for him to understand that he can't do as much for her as THEY
can... I know it hurts.... both of you.... But I wouldn't want my Mom home, or
is she going to a nursing home? It sounds like they have her sedated enough so
she isn't in control at all now....?They want to remove the catheter, so she can leave, but
that just means she has to wear diapers, or get up all the time...I did THAT with only a broken femur, and I wanted the
catheter put back IN! Ha!So I'm thinking of you.... Let us all know.... okay?
xoxoxoMorning Rose... You know, I really didn't know those
people when I SAW them every day... There were different "clicks" and some
were just way too good for us.... So they thought.And the guys were cute THEN, but MAN, WTH happened to
THEM? Ha, ha! I think Face book is just for something, but I don't know
what...I don't want any more friends from when I was younger, and
I am not lonely, and I see all my friends HERE....! Ha!Where are you from? No, my Daughter and her family live
in Florida! We only go there to visit! I'm a native of Denver.... live a block
away from where I grew up! I'm not much for change....
Okay.... gotcha.... Oregon! Sounds pretty where YOU are
too!Morning Enerva... cute picture!
Hi Blondie.... No tramping around today.... except to
Costco.... can't get into much mischief THERE.... I have a friend of my
Daughter's helping me look for another CAR... not a new one, and not from a
dealer. He has bought all his cars from finding them online, so he has been
looking and sending me emails a LOT!I trust HIM.... DH doesn't seem to interested in getting
ANYthing different, so he is leaving it to me, because I am DRIVING, and I am
tired of my stick-shift, and besides I kind of broke my door handle... sort
of... but my car is a 1999... and I am not getting any younger, and I am now in
charge, and so I WANT one! Ha, ha!Do any of you guys know about a Honda Civic Hybrid? I
don't... but we'll see.Morning Mags! Your pup is named Rosie? I LOVE that!
Yes, I miss that little kiddle Cammi! She KNOWS it.... that brat! She goes
around all sickly and getting tests, and dropping her drawers, just like some
one she isn't!I'm frustrated, and just want to "fix" her!
Hiho! You are "spread out?" Well so am I.... Hey,
that's a good one! About holding your hand up, and say "Heard it!" Better
than flipping her the bird and turning tail and walking away I guess.....Blondie.... hoping you are getting a little better... I
just hate when you are feeling puny....Oh? We have a new WhiteTiger? WOW!!! That means she is
a fighter girls.........And you got a new cat? Well you fit right IN here!
Glad to see YOU! Are you feeling okay?Ha,ha Mo2! "Colder than your MIL's heart! YES.... I
remember that! It's only 48 degrees out here now, but nicer than yesterday
morning!Are all the leaves turning where you are? They are HERE,
and it is just beautiful during the days.... Sunny and warm!So Spookie and Sass and Cammi must be asleep or off
somewhere... Cammi is probably figuring out how to keep her pants off the
floor... I think there is a song about that!0 -
Oh I'm around, have to go for fasting routine blood draw. Feeling grumpy and HUNGRY. I'm officially a freezing Floridian. It was 58 yesterday. Even the dogs were curled into balls with their noses covered. Is nice to have a/c off for a few days.
It's birthday month. GS#2 was Sat. Tomorrow is DH. Next week is DD. Then SPOOKIE. Lots of cake! SPOOKIE will have Frosty Paws.

been awake since 4 a.m. Ugggg
Envious of you that have cooler weather. We're having unseasonably hot weather, for the past couple of days, 100*+ scorching days. Problem is, people crank up the A/C, the going outside its a flat furnace. Either freezing or scorching, nothing in between.
About Mom, she's been in an Alzheimer's memory care assisted living home since July. They treat her and other residents we'll, my biggest complaint is the food: they tend to overlook meals (some have been dried out when I've been there) so Mom doesn't eat all the time. She's not picky, just that she was such a great cook she would never serve food like that. Have politely tried to explain that, they don't understand. I think she is sleeping so soundly now because she's finally not in pain. Nurses said she's not getting sleeping meds, primarily anti-b's (for UTI) and to drain fluid from her legs. I'm actually glad she's sleeping so much. With the electric compression devices on her legs and arms restrained (to prevent removal of cath and IV line), she's pretty cranky when she's awake. So that's why Dad and I are feeding her. Under normal circumstances she needs help, with restraints she's dependent on us. It appears she knows she's not in normal surroundings but no clue she's in the hospital. Whenever nurses have to touch her (check her legs, draw blood, slide her up because she's slipped down the bed), she screams, loudly. Doctors won't release her til they determine what's causing the swelling (she has known heart probs, could be kidneys or other organs). Once they determine cause, will act accordingly (provide appropriate meds). Dad doesn't provide care for her, but he's been told by nurses in the home she's needed to see a doctor for weeks and hasn't done it, probably wouldn't have gotten this bad. Finally got the reason out of him: he can't handle Mom alone. Was furious with him he didn't call me sooner to help (even a male nurse volunteered to help get Mom to be seen by a dr on his DAY OFF), Dad was hesitant to ask. Had a long talk with a bro last night, made him realize what a mess he made of her medical directive. Timing has been all wrong.

Chevy.... it was only 37 here this morning. Looks like I'm gonna have to get my winter wardrobe out this coming weekend and change the curtains in the house to the winter ones! Might even have to add another blanket to the bed!

Welcome White Tiger. We are 24/7. Mouthy and irreverent, but nice
Morning Blondie Have a pain free week and hope the breathing is better HUGS
Mo2, A couple of stories to give us a clue how bad your MIL is? I seriously disliked mine too! MIL treated my family wonderful, and treated me like dirt. It was very strange. Sorry, you are so cold. We are getting into open window season
Yay.Enerva , cute pic
have fun back at work.Chevy, "Tequilla makes me Crazy?"
2tttttttt call when you can
Morning spookie had the windows open for the last 24 hours and the door to screen enclosure. Dini & Shats love to be able and lay out there and come in when they want
Socks & fluffy robe time 0 -
You drink Tequila? Doesn't that make EVERYone crazy? I've never tried it, but it sounds fun!
Oh NO! Spookie is grumpy... WHAT are we going to do? You are freezing? You poor baby! I don't think I feel sorry for you..... Ha!
Okay 22222222nd! I remember that now...They still don't have a difinitive answer as to what her problems are? It sounds like when one thing goes hay-wire, then everything else tries to join in. Like Dominoes! With my Mom, it was congestive heart failure, but she drove herself to her Doc's for a check-up! So they decided they didn't like the looks of things, sent her over to Emergency.... then THEY took her by ambulance across the Bay to San Francisco.
THEN to make matters worse, they decided, Okay, lets do a quadruple by-pass on her, WITH a valve! Dad was frantic! She had been home doing just fine!
So they did the surgery, but a couple days later, they had to put in a pace-maker.... then she had a stroke! DAMN it was just a whole bunch of chit that happened! Finally her kidneys quit... they asked if we wanted to start dialysis.... couldn't do that to her.... she was out of it by this time.... It was just hell for her.... and for us, watching what happened!
They should have left her alone.... Never sent her over to emergency.... she was on meds for her CHF! She was 82....! Sometimes all the stuff they do, just don't help. My Dad didn't live much longer after he lost her....
It's just a heart-breaking situation to be in..... I'm sorry for you guys...... we're always here.

You and tequila Make me Crazy---Oops not the song.......But just relooked at it and realized it's about drugs and tequilahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap-Xvb7KRrc
There's a country western song about pants coming off....What is it?

It's "Tequila makes her Clothes come off" Back in my party days I had a friend that would flash everyone after a few shots of tequila, that was coined her song.2ndtime-so sorry your mom is going thru that and I know it must be really hard to see and take care of ((hugs))
I skimmed thru and saw something about MIL hell, I have a horrid one and she hates me. My in-laws actually called CPS on me as retribution/revenge for something that they thought I'd done to her. We have nothing to do with dh's family now. It's actually quite awful.
Speaking of dh, he went to dr on Saturday....blood sugar was 305. Doc thought it would be worse, but obviously still not great. He's on metformin twice a day and goes back in 2 weeks for follow-up. He was brooding saturday afternoon, doing a mental beat up I"m sure.
Welcome to the new ones!

Well, Monday is off to a great start! I woke up feeling hung over, not sure why just did. I got set up to work and spilled coffee all over my desk, while I was on the phone with a traveler. I saved my lap-top thank goodness, but the keyboard is shot. I plug in a regular keyboard to work off of that...anyway...I'd say Monday is in the lead and amy is at 0!!!0 -
gm ladies. Missed a couple days reading and I am so behind. Not even trying to go back just starting here. Hope everyone is doing great.

AH-- HAH Went looking for my Mad hatter pin that I got in Reno Nevada circa 1979. I knew it was a signed piece. Alas, he has an amputated foot and arm. But still amusing. Went searching for Ralph Massey the artist. Born 1938 and still around. Has things all over the place. This is a work of his of Alice In Wonderland bookends. You can find the hatter pretty easily. My Hatter has more color.the Queen

Here's a couple of MIL from He** stories for ya about my MIL:
Thanksgiving '07 I was hosting dinner at my house. My parents couldn't come up because mom was sick, which I understood. The day before Thanksgiving in amongst doing homework for college classes and cleaning and prepping food I wore myself out. The only thing I had left to do was sweep and mop my kitchen floor and I had planned on getting up early Thanksgiving morning and do that. That night my gallbladder decided it was time to give me problems. I was sick in bed the whole day because of it. So hubby made dinner for him and his family, my lovely (haha) MIL proceeds during dinner to tell my hubby that the house is dirty and I should be ashmed of myself. Hubby told her I had planned on finishing the cleaning that morning before they had gotten there, but I had been sick all night.
Another time they were invited to my house for a party was for my graduation from college. My MIL again told one of our family members while I was busy in the kitchen with something, that the house was again not up to her standards of being clean.
This all comes from a woman who has had back surgery and her husband won't lift a finger to help her clean. Her house is dirtier than mine! I almost told her that if she didn't like the way my house looks, clean or dirty, that she doesn't have to show her face here!

Oh she's a bitch! You want us to come get her? She sounds like someone we could straighten up! Some people are just not nice! But we tolerate them because they are "family"..... right?
Is she still around? If I knew THEN what I know now, these people that feel it is their right to belittle us or make us feel inferior are not worth our time.... doesn't matter who it is. If they are not nice, then we have to avoid them.... and then track them down and hit them over the head with a cast-iron skillet.
That sometimes knocks some sense into them......
And so are we talking about Alice in Wonderland? Or falling down the Rabbit hole or something? I'll ask Cammi..........

Chevy, reminds of a story about my Mom. My parents owned a bar in the early 40's. A guy called her a "broad". She asked my dad what it meant. She hit the guy over the head with a tray of beer LOL
