how about drinking?

Thank you for that Carole. Had no plans to go, I've got my own life to deal with.

Wren, you said what I was thinking. LOL.

NM, I do remember Israel. I was 4-1/2 when we left, so the brain of a toddler and what was interesting….remember the sand, the camels crossing "out back" behind us..playing with worms in dirt, the Med. sea and small black crabs my sis and I chased on the beach…fun times. I remember our little house/rooms….funny what kids take in.

Good morning:

Did everyone survive the blizzard back east that was impacted by it or are you still digging out?

Mommy- some good advice here from folks. I had both my eyes done for cataracts in 2019, worst one first then the other about six weeks later. Sometimes they do them closer together, but that was the way it happened for me. I needed help the day of with rides the day of and then the day after until I got cleared to drive. Then there are check ins the week after and then a month after that if you drive, you can go to on your own. The biggest thing was keeping up with the eye drops three times a day post-surgery.

I have family who sees me the same way. My family does not live near me (left for a second time 30 years ago) and visit those that remain as it suits me. But outside of my father who has been gone for quite some time, they always expect me to drop whatever I am doing to go to them for whatever. There were times I had to go because I was dual POA for my mother, but many times I did not. Now I just say no these days at almost 66 years old. It was just a pattern that got set early in the family by others and as an adult, we can just say no. When you say not available, they will be required to find another solution and hopeful. Hug sister, not cool about talking about your cancer with others, never mind making up stories about it returning. Ugh.
