Sensi, glad you are doing okay at least on page 1228. Chance looks so happy in the pool------so cute.
ALLLLLLLL I heard about auto correct, but didn't go back to find them. Seriously we should designate a 2-3 day period a month. Like the 1-3rd each month. It could add to an enjoyment.. For those that don't have autocorrect the rule could be no spelling correction. Could be FUN.
and then it moves!

Shep. (about not being included in the USA)Serious. Can you vote? Do you get State services? Federal services? I know there has been a problem with placement of migrants into Carolinas, does that affect you? How did that happen? Has it happened anywhere else in the USA? Listen to Loverly & Junie. No one , No one could figure out what I saw in Donnie. In a different time, me too. But life is good, the loving is good, the treatment and respect is better than my DH Greg. As Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby used to say "Are you better of with him or without him"
Susan great pic of the kids in the pool. What's this with DH. WTF. Do I have to bring Donnie up there too? Damn I guess my head injuries are just tripping me off my last edge. Just about into a rant. But not enough wine.
Chit still 2pages behind , but going to Donnie.

Sassy ~ FFH and I had a "prayer meeting" Sunday night. Told him what was needed to be done and gave him until the end of the week to do it. I have his bestie and our family backing me up. Shame is a powerful tool. He won't want to look "bad" so it will all get done, No Donnie necessary!
Our county is one of those little oddities of history. We are fully part of the United States even though there was never a formal agreement made to re-join the union. All the stuff I found on Google said we were called "The Independent Republic" because of the independent nature of the county residents. Ah, it's the winners that (re)write the history books.....
We are fiercely patriotic here, but is fun to say "not my problem" when things get screwy

MammaRay- thinking of you and praying for better days.
Rosevalley- I have been lectured by my BS about weight and cancer. Been trying to loose weight but very difficult on the AIs. I am exercising regularly and hardly eat anything and it is tough. That being said, I will continue to work on it. I know extra weight helps nothing. Thank you for sharing that update with us!

Well only 21 hours until I am back in my own bed.
And yes Sas I did talk to the case manager about home health and they are working on it.
Sooooo looking forward to a good cup of coffee on Friday morning.
Loverly - I have no idea when I'll make it back to Redding. What idea are you having? If there is a specific reason to head south, I could. Definitely when the temps are cooler though.

JunieB, I had this crazy idea about visiting Oregon this weekend with DH (I am spontaneous the opposite of DH) but I forgot about the kids and Mitzy. Duh! I wonder why my DD is an air head.

Feline, we have those services too, but we have to know how to work the system. Asking the doc for a Social Worker referral. The SW is the repository for services. A SW can be obtained through asking the insurance company too. I encourage folks if they are denied a SW. to use a phrase : I want a note entered into the record that services were denied, If I have an untoward occurrence b/c of inadequate service evaluation and help covered you are responsible for that" Generally, that gets action. Just saw a list of items written into Obamacare that the list ACA has is scary, They can do warrantless searches for a list of items. It's a big brother type thing. For example, b/c I smoke I would have to submit to a search if there were children in the house. A Mom would have to submit to a search if she was older than 18 but <21.if she had a child in the house. No complaint of a problem, just b/c she was Same if there was a gun registered in anyone's house that had a gun. There are several more just as egregious. Federal over reach.
Okay Loverly and Wenchi and Shepare our resident prayer folks.
Susan M49. Is M49 Telegraph road in Michigan?
Wenchie's bear..........Alpha bear. Okay
Smarrty, love the realmen
Mostly Mom, oooowwwww good luck, I'll wear my bathing suit.
MAMMA, Hugs still praying.

My surgery has been confirmed for next Wednesday. It looks like it may actually happen this time!!๐๐๐๐๐

Good morning Ladies,
5 hrs. 7 min. until am on the road again. Yeah!
Loverly - Yep, those family commitments can definitely be limiting, but having people who love & support you would all be worth it.
Sassy - spoke to case worker. Home health here in Oregon provides only bathing, O.T. & P.T. In order to have the shopping, cleaning, and transporting, I'd have to qualify for a different program through the state. That program is run through North West Seniors & Disabilities. Also, they charge the clients on a sliding scale a percentage of their income.

Hooray for Wenchie & JunnieB !
JunieB ~ Some of the local grocery stores here will let you order online and have your groceries packed n' ready for pick up at the door. Some will even load the stuff in the car for you. The usual charge is $5 and they'll let you use your coupons too. Costco and Sam's Club will do the same for free - I forgot that until just now!. I wonder if you could do something like that and have a friend go do the pick up? I think I'm going to start doing the same and have DS be my delivery boy

Junie, such a big serious sigh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Tell me of PT OT and a nursing aide ....who is qualified to evaluate your response to medication that you are receiving on the 6th? AND how it impacts each of those specialties care? See my sweet. They are used to discharging hips and knee's, but not hips and knee's receiving chemo. It falls outside their algorhthm. Ergo, it didn't compute. Ergo, no one looked at it logically. CHIT

Well Sas, at the moment I am right there with you (being PISSED PISSED PISSED OFF).
I got home from SNF this evening and all was well. I was so happy to see/feel something other than a medical facility. I visited with one of my neighbors for a bit, then came back inside to find a missed phone call from Dayton, OH. I listened to the message and was amazed to hear that it was my sister. I am happy and my mind is boggled by the fact that I am no longer an only child. I am a sibling & an aunt, all in one conversation. We got to talk for an hour and a half. Now the part I'm PISSED OFF about is that I now know the real truth about what happened when I was a child and was told by my Mother that my Father was such a B......d. He did have an alcohol problem, but apparently was a hard working, honest man. An engineer, a city councilman in the city that he lived, etc. At 11 years of age my Mother told me that my Father had told the court that I had died and that we would have to go to Ohio to prove he was lying. But the day before we were supposed to go, my Mother told me my Father had had a change of heart and confessed to the court. Now I found out that that was not true. Which means my Mother concocted that story to further her brain washing of me to believe only the worst of my Father.
If I had to face that woman at this moment it would not be pretty. I am sitting here shaking to my core despite having already taken some Xanax. Will probably need to take more if I hope to sleep at all tonight.
I do not know what else to say. My head is spinning. I missed out on a real, but flawed family, not just being raised and isolated by a narcissistic basket case.
Unfortunately I am not in the mind frame to share any levity tonight, so I will say goodnight and will check back later. Thank you.

Sorry Wenchie, I forgot to congratulate you on the confirmation of your surgery date. I know you've been waiting quite awhile. I will be keeping you in prayer for a smooth, successful surgery, plus a smooth and quick recovery.
That is the same date I'll be at my MO's for treatment. Sleep well tonight.
Shep - How was dinner and what did you have? Is the foot healing up?
Until Later.

JazzieJune- that is some pretty hard news to hear, especially as you are trying to feel better from your surgery. Hugs sister.

Good Mourning Jazzy! When I have to up this early it's "mourning" time.
Susan ~ How can it be that each picture of Elena is more adorable than the last? I envy your friend, getting that full body snuggle. Once they hit their 20's you can't cuddle 'em like that anymore. (sigh) So happy for you to have had your sweetie to yourself so many times this week! Your porch looks like a place that would be hard to leave, so cozy. Is that a glider your friend is sitting in with Elena? I have a porch swing on the front patio. It is not the same as a glider. My mom's front porch had a sofa size glider that was occupied as much as possible - loved it!
Okay.......I go to bed early and there are crisis's, crisisiss, crisies, cripes!
Sassy ~ Are you okay? The day you are a detriment is the day I become a morning person - NOT possible. ((Hugs)) You know how much we all love you!
0 -
JunieB ~ Darn. Usually I would have been up when you posted. ((hugs)) I hope you were able to get some sleep. You had a real roller coaster of a day that ended with a ride on the tilt-a-whirl. You "met" your sister and you are an Auntie! Focus on that part for right now. As for your Father.......he may had been a different person for each of the different people in his life. That is very much true of my father. Your Mother may have felt she was protecting you or she just may have had her own issues. Maybe a combination of it all? There are so many points of view involved......you Mother's, your sister's and her family's. Even if you could have spoken to your Father before he passed, his version of events would still have been just another ingredient to the mix of what did or did not happen. We can't control the past. Or other people. (grrrrrrr)
Live in the "right now" for a while. Your body and your heart need some healing time. (((hugs))) and more (((hug)))
Off with DS to get some more test for his gall bladder ~ I'll check in later

Sassy, I agree with Shepkitty. There IS NO WAY you could be a detriment to anyone, anything, anytime or anywhere!! You are hands down one of the BEST of the BEST out there fighting for All of us! You have taken us all under your wings and held us tight when doctors/technicians etc are feeding us a load of baloney! We ALL love you and we

Shepkitty, so nice your FFH got you out of the house and dinner too! We want to hear where you went and what you had to eat. Yeap, we are nosy that way lol
0 -
JunieB, YAY on you becoming a sister and an aunt all at once! I also agree with Shepkitty on taking what you've heard in the past with a grain of salt. There's always a twist in there somewhere. What's important is a bridge of love has been built. Now you can go out and decorate that bridge with all the new and wonderful memories to come!
I know, it's really strange to being going Yeah! to surgery and yes, I've been waiting for over 3 months for this to finally take place. I'll have one of the BIGGEST FITS ever seen if this has to be canceled and rescheduled! Tornado Lori coming through!!
Thank you All!!

Sitting in the waiting room while DS has his CT test.........
Wenchie ~ "a bridge of love"...... what a beautiful image ๐
Cheering for surgery, not many people would understand that, would they? Kinda bittersweet. I talked to my surgeon's office Wednesday. The equipment needed for the ablation procedure in my spine has to be borrowed from a different hospital. It could be another month before my back gets patched back together......
Loverly ~ been thinking about Mitzi peeing in her crate. I wonder if she could have a UTI? Female Shepherd breeds are susceptible to them. Nerves, change of routine or not peeing often enough can cause infections. I would have been so mad about that anti-ich medicine. Poor doggie. How is the new food treating her? If only they talk and tell us how they feel. ๐ถ
Mostlymom ~ Last week was your procedure. Did all those yucky stones turn to dust? Hoping you are doing well.

This is where we ate last night in Murrells Inlet . Great little "hole in the wall" with home cookin' and super friendly staff - friendly customers too. Fun place! Thursday is all you can eat wings night for $8.......so meaty, not greasy and sooooo good. We splurged and spent an extra dollar for a big basket of fries. We got food to go for dinner tonight......a Philly cheesesteak for me and turkey melt for FFH.
Desserts offered included oreos, cake, twinkies and pop tarts - all deep fried. I was half tempted by the strawberry and ice cream topped funnel cake...... tooo full though!
I felt like such a hypocrite after hanging out on Wenchie's thread and talking about nutrition 'n healhty eating ๐
