Another hot and muggy day on the books here today. Had more laundry to do this morning, so I threw it in the washer before hubby left for work. Just waiting for it to dry on the line.

Jazzy did we have a fight? I hate blue boxes. I always think something went wrong. I know we didn't fight, it just looks funny with all those blue boxes in a row. I deleted cuz I had something I was sure of, wrong. It was a chit in the middle of the night, and I was to tired to fix. The blue botton was easy...easy. .....delete

Sometimes it might just be that the post to which you were responding got deleted, so yours doesn't make sense any more...

Sassy- no fight girlfriend. Just decided to delete something I posted yesterday. Sometimes I do that. We are good.
I think your deletes just followed on to mine.
Don't worry, be happy!

🎼 We are family🎶 I got all my Sisters with me🎶......
I figured it was either run away fingers or not happy with the post. Ha! ...Scared me at first though.
Mss. Spookie and Sas, we are meeting on Sunday the 9th right?? Wedding on the 8th.
Mommy, you run a laundrymat??? Haha Temp in the 90's with humidity is miserable....hard to breathe. I don't envy you.
Susan, very sweet of you.
Ms. BLONDIE and Patty, Ms. Smarty has a nice phone with a good camera. It's the lighting. Ha!
Ms. Smarty, it was good, but too short. I showed the pic to family. Hubby said I look goofy in the picture. Told him it's all Ms. Smarty's fault for snapping the camera so fast I didn't have a chance to do a model pose hehe!! We should have done a full body shot. You looked lovely in your dress.
Marlana....Little Pooh Bear, I love that name. Regarding the straws....uh huh...
Frey, good to hear you got a good laugh from Mum. I know,we should all be practicing.
Jazzy, netty potting is good.
What we had for lunch
Thanks again Ms. Smarty for the treat!

Loverly- I am doing better today. I was very low energy and congested yesterday, which I think was a combo of the cold AND the Prolia shot, but woke up feeling a lot better today. Getting some biz things done and then heading to the gym and a trip to the Wed farmers market to meet a friend. I have been doing the sinus rinse every morning, it does help!

Chevy - My very negative thinking grandmother had cataract surgery well into her 80s. Survived like we knew she would and went on to keep driving in her town. DH had his done 12 years ago in his early 50s - familial in a way, his dad had early cataracts. Remind him the techniques are so refined now. He may remember the laying still for ages but I don't think DH had any much restrictions - probably some on lifting. I wish I could get mine done. New opto. says I need to gripe more about them. Only thing is I hardly ever drive at night now so less to gripe about. Just don't ask me do to anything if I've just walked in from outside cause I can't see a darned thing.
and he may just have to puzzle over it for a bit. I find that my DH does that a lot then suddenly something strange pops outta his mouth.
Smaarty and Loverly - looks like you had a wonderful time. Thanks for the pics.

Mom had her cataracts removed in her early 80's. They put her in the hospital overnight because her heart was not in good shape. No problems at all. She said she was glad she'd done it.
I have an appt with a surgeon to get his opinion about surgery for mine. I also have corneal dystrophy and don't want to make that any worse.

Me too, on Robin Williams. Timing is right. copyright at the end was 1988. See Lilgoats did Wiki. HMM that makes the Lion King 27 years old. UGH
I had something very nice happen at the bone density test today. She asks me when I went through menopause. 1996 surgical menopause. She repeated the question like I had two heads. Then she said you look good. Nice the day before the 65th. Needed that.
I went yesterday and got a new hairstyle and waxed. Fresh.Little rant. All the questionaires ask if there is any history of falling(government-Medicare requirement). Medicare didn't require follow-up. Anyone ever have them follow up?

Patty - I hope today is a better day for you.
Rosie - I know hospice will do better at pain relief for you. I did understand that your admit will be b4 your travel? Make sure your hospice knows of your travel plans. Like I told Blondie it is always extra safe if they contact an agency where you are going for emergency purposes. And no there is no reason just being on hospice should prevent travel at all. Wanting closure with your family so desperately for you. (((HUGS)))
And Chevy I agree with Spookie. I would bet your DH will pass vision test. And being stubborn is just not Italian. DH has not one drop of Italian blood and I could match you point to point on stubbornness.

The comedian Bill Irwin. Not heard of him b4.
The Lion King was made in 1994.
I don't see the falling question but then not Medicare yet.

You guys, that really helps! Thanks ..... again! I just know him so well, and don't want him to worry.... And I DO think, that once the dust settles, he will decide to do it... He doesn't renew his license until 2016! So that's good........ He doesn't wear glasses.... only sunglasses when he is outdoors, like any studly Italian would.......
I mean even at the Casino's when we would go at night. !Sass! You are only 65? Oh I remember back then........... It's like you feel so good at that age.... But getting to 72, started feeling a little "older"...... BUT! My bones are good.... All the testing showed they are like being in my 30's.... I just fell extra hard to break my femur...
Oh, I think I told you.... When we got to the Emergency room, I laid there forEVER.... All the tests, and X-rays, and waiting for the Doctor, and so naturally I had to go to the bathroom! They weren't SURE about anything yet, just that I couldn't put any weight on that left leg/foot! But, they had this aid come, and I crawled into the wheel-chair, and he rolled me down the hall to a bathroom. He pushed me in there, and SHUT THE DAMN DOOR!
Can you imagine trying to hang onto the sink, the toilet, the wheel-chair, and trying to GO? OMG it hurt so bad! I was holding my breath, trying to get back into the wheel-chair, and I yelled.... "I'M DONE!"..... He came to get me, and man I thought I was going to pass-out.
They helped me back onto the 10 foot high bed, and then the Doc came in with the 2 little air-head aides, and they finally found a catheter! I didn't CARE! THAT hurt as bad as trying to stand on that leg. So now all the tests were back, and showed it was a break at the neck of the femur.... in HALF!
Damn people! So the lesson is.... if you can't MOVE, ask for a catheter! At the hospital DOOR! In fact, call ahead.... put your reservation in! NOTHING about that surgery hurt as much as trying to get out of that wheel-chair by myself.... with one working leg!
So we are going up to Central City for my Birthday tomorrow....DH gave me $100.... But I won't take all that with me.......... Maybe just $50. I'll save the rest for more bark/mulch, and a couple more little bushes for my parking....I've got the design all figured out in my head....Now I just have to get out there and put it together....

Spookie, they're's a bunch of required questions, but not required action. I always thought it was stupid if they're is no follow through. One of the questions is falls, use of recreational drugs, has anyone hurt you( to detect abuse). Only once on the falls question did someone make a suggestion. One the recreational drug use. This young woman started into detail. Right or wrong I told her she didn't want it in her medical record. The computer system pulled data froward with each new contact.

Luvgoats- Yep had the intake. They were very nice and the only major thing wrong is I thought they had inpatient hospice and they do not. They have an adult foster home that is not accessible with my insurance. So I have to die here in our home and I did not want that. I wanted to be in inpatient at the end and my insurance won't cover it. I feel just screwed. How is my DH supposed to take care of me at the end, keep a full time job and keep my 14 yr old together? My DH is way too soft hearted one peep of pain and he'll call 911.. can't. If I prove too much to care for there is no where to go that isn't 100% out of our pocket - no insurance coverage. I am shocked. Both my Dad and my Grandmother required ipatient at the very end. There is 5 days of respite covered and that's it.. at a nasty nursing home intown. ugh.. They will cover paracentesis in the begining and diuretics to control the ascites but not at the end. Pain would be controlled no issue. If DH wuzes out and I can easily see that happening, then we would totally foot the bill and who knows how much money at 250-300 day that would end up costing or what miserable place I would end up. Maybe at the end I wouldn't know or care.. but my 14 yr old would see the environment. I have no long term care insurance and I won't qualify for any either.
If I do death with dignity I pay 3000.00 out of my retirement and I choose the setting.. like a yurt at the ocean listening to the waves. No prolonged dragged out what ever. I used to be fried over spending the $ when it could go to my kid's education but if I go hospice I could cost way more and die here at home. I absolutely do not want to die in this house nor do I want to die in a nursing home costing my family a mint. Anyway I can't go on a trip and be signed up for hospice, so it will need to wait until I get back from Florida. I need to think this through.. leaning heavily to DWD as the safer saner more compassionate option for all concerned- me and kids and DH. Oy I have such a headache. Wish me well traveling.. hugs to all.

What a messRose. Hope you can get it sorted out! What might your travel dates be? Would you want to do what Sas and I did with Blondie? That seemed to work out well, only glitch was her sdd was late leaving her home. But that gave us more time together.
