Best/Worse/What did I learn today..chat with friends!!

Hello!

Tubby is in bed and just asked for a sleeping pill. The girls left a little bit ago. They tried to help me learn to copy and paste. I just hope they don't remember the password to get into this site. I knew I should have never wrote all that stuff about them. God forgive me and I'll probably change the password to make sure. I know I'll worry and regret I ever vented. I knew better, but at the time I guess I needed to get it off my chest.

Betty hope your Mom does well. I'll be saying prayers for her and you also.

Thank you all for making Tubby's day special. Words can never say how much they meant and the smiles it brought to his face when I read them to him.

While all this is going on my sisters have decided to put my DM in a home so it's a double wammy. I haven't been able to go to her house in a year or so, so if they don't bring her down I can only talk to her on the phone. I know this is hard on her, but she'll go. I really don't think she'll last long, she has failed so much in the 6 months. My heart is breaking on all sides.

Okay enough about me and my problems.

I do hope that all of you get better soon and please take care. I won't be back on for awhile as all I want to do is cry and apparently am feeling sorry for myself and I need to stop that. I know the Lord don't give us more than we can handle, but I've hit the max I can deal with. Please let me say that we send our love and appreciation to all of you. You all are the best friends anyone could ask for.

God be with you all!

Shirley

Shirley, go to the top right now.....under my tools....and change it right now! No need worrying.

I think I speak on behalf of everyone Shirley, we've all needed a shoulder to cry on, to vent to and for those who haven't as yet needed to, they know we'll be here as close as the keyboard to hold the lantern of hope

Please do not feel you must keep the hurt and despair to yourself..one of the earthly angels are nearby, we all sleep different hours and am sure they'll offer support should you need it!

This is your home, chair always waiting for you to sit and seek comfort. So sorry to hear about you mom..I thought it was your mom you permed a week or so ago?? Has she gone downhill so quickly? Don't you think sometimes they just want us to let them go, that they have lst the will to live?

I'd do as Debbie said, don't stop for " go" go directly to the tools and change your password.

(((((((((Shirley)))))))) vent all you want, dear lady!!!!!!
((((((((Tubby))))))))) ♫♪Happy ♪♫ Birthday, ♫♪Dear♪♫Tubby!! ♫♪ Happy Birthday to you ♫♪♫

Shirley, so sorry to hear about your Mom! Sending many prayers her way, and lots of (((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))) to you.
Please go change your password, it is easy to do!

Shirley - so sorry to hear about your mom - you certainly Are getting it from all sides......
Yes, change your password!

Shirley said "I know the Lord don't give us more than we can handle, but I've hit the max I can deal with."

Now sweety, this isn't true....He doesn't give us this. This is life. BUT He is right there at your shoulder...with His arm around you. HE has put us all here....to help you whatever way we can. We all have different beliefs....but we all believe you are a wonderful, special friend and awesome wife and daughter.


Locking yourself up....and staying away from here....is NOT the way to go. You come here and talk with us....whenever you need too!

Love you lady....and your special man
Debbie

I haven't had a chance to read anything and I will be back later to do that.
Just wanted to Wish Tubby a Happy Happy Birthday.
Roses to you Tubby.

Shirley these gals and guys would not let me give up when I wanted to so we all have big shoulders so help us help you. LOVE & HUGS BEV

We love you Bev,nope not going to leather of you go MIA are we gals??

Hello To All ;

Dianne - worried about you... why the trouble sleeping? When I was hyped up on antihistamines a few weeks ago...ended up taking 3 ambien throughout one night... Shirley - I remember Mom loved it when she was sick... I would certainly not recommend over dosing like I did but it worked enough to get me back to sleep after 48 hours no sleep...

Dianne - can you get a prescription for some ? They are tiny pills....not sure about 1/2ing them but I do think Mom did....

I honestly can't say I've ever tasted Rhubarb in my life..... Hard to believe... mom & dad were country folks and gardeners and thought I'd tried about everything... Maybe it's more a northern vegetable...is it like a squash?

Laura - cannas must not get as big there as they do here? That would hold one of our canna plants... I LOVE them... we have green (leaf) with yellow flowers, green leaf with yellow & orange, variegated with orange and Red leaf/red flowers ..... Hubby acts like he hates them because they get so big... he tells me every year he's gonna mow over them. Elf - I saw cannas in your truck... did you get those from me? I did bring one plant but no one had asked for them... if you like them I'll try to start some extra's 'just in case'... the variegated is coming up in a flower bed across the pool from where they are 'allowed' to grow LOL! So I'm going to need to move them into a pot....

Shirley..... I am SO Flabbergasted as well... Shame on those girls. I am so angry at them, how dare they ? !!! I'd change the password asap... however they sound SO self-centered I would be willing to bet they wouldn't spend a minute of their time checking this blog... and if they do... they will hopefully be ashamed of their actions... though doubt it...

I would never dream of discussing life insurance with my parents... Mom tried to bring up stuff like that when she was sick.... and it always made me uncomfortable but I never wanted to face her reality of her situation either....I just hoped it would all be alright.....

Please vent on here... that's what we are here for... Lord knows I've vented over stuff that was so miniscule... you do have a heavy weight on your shoulders and we are here for you...

I can't imagine all you are going through. My 'year' was 2004... that was the worst year of my life... and I've had a good life...only somehow that year I was to be challenged again and again.... Boy do I wish I had this blog back then... I know it would have done me a world of good...

I'm popping back in a bit.... ((HUGS )) to all and

Happy Birthday To Tubby ! ♪♫♪♫

Mary

Mary, pucker up if you eat it without cooking and adding sugar,,,I love cooking it, getting a loaf of bread, butter it and soak it up...added bonus is making the cement laver stones done with leaves of the plant

Are you now rested from your weekend adventure..was laughing to myself, you are only 6 hrs. From Memphis right?

Dianne, did the doctor have any answers for dh?? So hope you rest well tonight

Off to bed, if I find I can't settle in I'll be Bach for midnight shift

Oh Holly, those roses are SO beautiful. Are they yours? I can almost smell them here.

Mary, how ya doing darlin? I think Dianne has the same problem as I do...can't shut the brain down to go to sleep! On top of her massive headaches and all going on....she is plum worn out!

Waiting to hear from her how the day went with the PT and her hubby.

Speaking of PT...I am up for abuse tomorrow. Such fun!!! Maybe AJ will do his exercises while I am working. (hides face...so embarrased I typed that out loud) lol

I didnt' get much done I wanted today, except took DS over to Aldis with me, and he was a BIG help grocery shopping and helping with bags and such. Seriously don't know what I will do come Sept.

Mary, I can't wait to see pictures of your garden and your "Stash" from the round up.

Kris...Yours was so beautiful...and that little Goober is just that...adorable little lady!

I am heading to bed soon....tired out.

Thoughts and prayers are with ALL of you....

Special hugs for Bev, Shirley & Tubby, and Betty.....

Debbie

Hey Betty & Debbie and ALL !!

Betty - so funny you say that... you know Hubby had to work Saturday and wanted to come to the RU (finally!) but couldn't... he was working 30 minutes from Memphis (or so he says) in Tunica, Mississippi.....and begged me to come with him... I told him that I could have met up with Crissy in Memphis ! His auction was near the casino's....

Seriously... you might could talk me into meeting up with you gals... however I think the timing is all wrong... because as you may remember my MAY is completely booked up... and I think your trip is scheduled for May....? (graduation(s), wedding, etc)....

Debbie - I do think AJ needs to find out the optimum way to motivate you... and as a GOOD Physical Terrorist... doing his exercises just may be the best way...... :o)

I think DS needs to come home to help you with the groceries as well.. you know he's gonna be homesick for Momma's cooking and will need to come home to stock up on 'care packages'...

Oh Geez - I've planted about 12 plants already... let's hope they survive me and then I can send pics of them once they have filled in.... what is left is brugs, plumeria and a few odds and ends.... the Plumeria will go in pots... I learned that they have to come inside at 52 degrees F. but was happy to get them ... Hubby had a beautiful plumeria that we lost this winter.... I just figured out where the brugs can go... and (finally) hubby agreed with my location (finding 'where' to put the plants has been difficult and almost a cause for divorce LOL !)

I got some cleredendrum... supposedly that will grow HUGE... and some kind of rose that Hubby says... "Good luck" that will be HUGE too... so fine.. I'll put them in the front yard... LOL!

So wondering where I can get some Rhubarb to try... Guess it is a "northern" thing... never seen it cooked or raw here.....

Be back in a bit....
Mary

Well I have gotten nothing done!!. I had to get laundy washed, food shopping done, finish my bunny/easter swap and then watered all the plants and slept the rest of the time.

Now to catch up.
Shirley,, give me those Brats numbers and I will give them the what for for you!!! Unbeliveable!! You can vent all you want to here and we will have your back every inch of the way. I would not give them a dime!! Especially after upsetting Tubby like they did. And now your mom,,, you will get though all of this and we will be glad to help you in every way we can!!

YEay!! Betty,, headache easing off!! And eyesite getting a little better too.

Mary, I tried to call you tonight,, I found a banana tree in my car,,,lol And you gave me a bunch of stuff, however I have no idea what any of it was!!! I am a mess and need to get the plants sorted out tomarrow and get them in the ground. Luckily I do know where most of them will go!!

Judy, You have so much going on and I cannot keep up with your whirlwind of a life!! How exciting to be setting up your green house.. Is there any special plant I can send you for the "grand opening" of the new place!! I would be glad to help contribute to an over crowded greenhouse!!

Bev,, I missed your birthday,, so sorry!! Here is a special pic just for you!!

Ok, I know I have missed lots,,So for now on I will take notes,,,lol,, that way I donot ignore anyone!! Think I need to get some more sleep. I have lots planed for tomarrow!!,,, night all

Hi...

Shirley, Sure wish I could wrap my arms around you, you have so much going on. Please don't feel as though you can't come and vent, cry or what ever you want with us. We love you very much. Tubby has brought so many giggles to us when he first came in to visit. I always had to read a few things twice,lolol because I'm a bit gullible, but once I got the funny, spent many a morning with heavy laughter.
I am not shocked with the actions of those girls, You and Tubby Do NOT deserve such behavior, by them, their kids or the mom...
I am just boiling mad at the nerve of it...Yes dear Friend, please do go right away to change your password, only for your sake of privacy.
But, think like Mary, if they go that far, they deserve to read just how very rude they are!!

Very easy to change the password, Debbie, described it well...
click on: My info Tab (at the top of the page)
Click on: Manage your preferences
Click on Password (on the right side of page)

Type in your new password exactly the same in both boxes
Hit submit

Now, when you want to copy something, you highlight what ever you want to copy.
To do this place the curser at the beginning of what you want holding the mouse button and dragging until everything you want is highlighted.

Once all is highlight let go of mouse button.
Then hold your Ctrl button & press the C key (at same time) = that will copy what you highlight.
Then place your curser where you want to copy the info (past/copy is same thing.)
Curser in place: again hold Ctrl button with the V key the computer will copy/past your info!!

Debbie's direction copied & pasted:

Its under My Tools...My preferences...and Password...I think listed on the right side.

...I hope that helps. might take a few practices but one you get the hang of it piece of cake.

My heart goes out with your mom's situation, I do hope you have many a conversation with her. I know that is pretty rough too, not being able to be with her, same was with my Mumma, everything over the phone, I mean.


Good night Betty, I hope you have a good nights rest.

Bev, Yep We DO Love you!!

Group ArmWrap everyone...I'll be back, got shag DH off the couch.

Hello All !

ELF! ((HUGS)) if you had not posted I would not have realized that I dropped my cell phone in the bottom of my Tahoe! Thought it was in my purse... so just 'found' it... and it's charging... THANK YOU!

I don't think that banana is from me... Hubby packed the one for Maryann... it's a small bush type.. but I have many types... FUNNY... I told Hubby I needed to pot up a Banana for you.... he says "She probably wants a large one" I say "well these get large!" (by the pond) Hubby says... "Well only 8 feet"... What is he thinking? EIGHT FEET ?!?! Well we have the small banana bush that supposedly makes a pretty yellow flower if we had separated it more... 8 foot bananas... variagated bananas and some type of wild banana that I think is pretty and has volunteered in the tomato garden but hubby thinks is a weed... I'll be potting up the "volunteer" and save it for you or whomever wants it.....

Here is what I had on my 'list for you": Yellow Flag Iris, Each of 3 Sedums (pink flowers/yellow flowers/purple flowers) Pink Brugmansia (was large), Firecracker plant, Mickey Mouse Elephant ears, Sego Palm, Yellow Shrimp, I had some 'extra' stuff you might have gotten.... I don't think you got the Purple flower sedum... but no worries.. .I can get more of that... it is quite invasive but I like it... it's in a crack between a wooden "dock" and the pool.... I forgot to put your name and Maryann's in those pots...

Thanks for having Shirley's "Back" with those bad kids... ... I'm one of those folks who can't handle confrontations.. but I'll back you all the way... ((HUGS))

I'll pop back in a bit... but then headed to bed...

Mary

Thank you all -

I just got Tubby up. He took his sleeping pill about 5:30 and at midnight wanted to get up. He's sort of watching TV and dosing. I'll just keep an eye on him. Especially when he smokes. He has gotten very weak. His legs gave out on him trying to get back into bed yesterday. I could see the fear in his eyes as he could do nothing to help, but I held on and held him for a bit and told him I wasn't gonna let him fall. I moved the recliner right next to the bed so we don't have to walk to get to it. That's a relief to him and me.

Actually it's the username that will need to be changed as soon as I type in the first letter of the username and the selection comes up so does the correct password. Oh well, I decided not to worry about it anymore. I did change the password though, but if they do snoop so be it. Thank you for all your help. I will try the copy and paste trick also. I need to download pictures first.

I decided I am gonna ask his Mom to go stay with his sister for a while so we can have time together alone. We can't talk without extra ears listening and I hate that the most. I know the one sis will probably throw a fit, but that's the bossy one and I don't care about her. I'll just have to tell them that he only wanted to see his Mom, and it was the one daughter who told her to stay. Somebody has to be the bad guy and it seems like it's always me.

Betty I do hope those headaches are subsiding. You never said if you called the Dr. for an appointment or what. We want to know, or did I miss it. So did you hear anything more about your Mom? Prayers for her.

Mary I will gladly send you a rubarb plant as I have so many. If you will d-mail me your address I will send one out. I will enclose directions with it.

My Mother will be 87 in June and has always been very independent, but the last years have been a slow decline. Yes she is the one I gave a perm to, she walks with a cane, but falls often and has lost alot of weight and her memory has declined the most. She's only 4'11" but has always a strong lady and my hero and friend. We are very close and it pains me to not be able to be there for her or to take her in. I know it's probably the best, I just worry so about her falling and hitting those cement floors. I don't know everything only that she has forgotten to take her meds for a week or more. I know the others don't want to bother me right now with it all, but it breaks my heart to see this happen. I want to take her in my arms and keep them all at bay, but I can't do that.

Again THANKS SO MUCH ! everyone for all your loving support and friendships and for all the love you sent for Tubby's birthday.

Well, I'm gonna go check on him and try to lie down on the couch for a while. I may be able to catch a few more winks of sleep myself.

((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) to you all

Shirley

Morning everyone, have been up for quite a bit - guess I am going to have to be one of those people who say sleep is highly overrated. NOT!!! Yep Debbie and I both have these tickey dockey minds that never want to shut down. My mam said the longest I ever slept in a stretch even as a new born was 2 hours.
Mary don't fret sweetie, I have heavy duty sleep meds that I hate taking but will soon resort to them for a couple nights rest. Right now I am listening for DH in the night as sometimes his back is so painful he can't get out of bed or roll over if he needs to. Went with my babe to the Physio session yesterday, sat and watched, then asked my questions. DH was not happy I went into his apptment with him. Upshot is the Physical Terrorist just threw up her hands and says she feels there is something more serious going on and wants him to have a MRI or CT. Easier said than done here, DH has to wait until he sees Dr Death Apr.27 for that order to be made.Each day I see this hulk of a man getting weaker and in more pain and I feel helpless as there is absolutely nothing I can do..... he just hates himself right now as he watches me do the wood and when it is not raining work in the yard.My heart just aches for him. I am going to have to make arrangements to have someone in to clean the chimney and the eavestroughs. There is no way I am going up there. I will wait until DH is at PT or has an apptment before I get someone in.
To top everything off yesterday my headache turned into a full blown one with double vision is my left eye and blurred in my right. All this good Canadaian air is making DH and I fall to pieces!!! lol
Betty glad to read yesterday aft your headache was improving. Although I am sure your biggest headache (DM) will be soon hitting you with a vengence. What is it with people they always have to complain or not pick? My mam was like that - your DM and my mam sound like 2 peas in a pod.
Shirley sweetie you do what you have to do and say what you have to say to make this time with Tubby what YOU and HE want. Forget the others, your sweetie is the most important thing in your life right now. We are only as far away as your keyboard and we are all good listeners.
Going to read for a bit. Hope you all have great weather today! LK did your physio start yesterday? How did you make out? I thought of you when I was in Bulk Barn as they had all sorts of Easter candy on sale and I was thinking Gee LK could just have so many choices..
WLs forecast rain tomorrow and Thurs..... whoooo hooo lucky us! lol I will just have to get my red wellies out and go splashing with Stormy and Quill!
Dianne

Where's Betty? Hope everything is OK in her neck of the woods.
Mary I ordered from Breck's 2 Spicy Cajun Louisana Iris to add to my Iris garden. They bloom and I wil think of your sunny smile.

Seedtosser, Unlikely we could be up there this year. But I really should make plans to do that. We always head South for vacations and Ric and I have been talking about doing a Northern vacation up into the Northern States and maybe over the Canadian Border.
Bev, I don't think I wished you a Happy Birthday. So glad you had a great time with your family.
Norm, I also think I didn't wish you a Happy Birthday so here is a belated Birthday Wish for you.
Mary, Our men sound a bit a like both cooks and gardeners. Love his turn around on the irises. LOL
Dianne, We had a customer yesterday that was telling me she has a rhubarb plant that was her Grandmothers and she has her Grandmothers recipe for Rhubarb Pie. I don't think I have ever had Rhubarb Pie.
Shirley, Sending extra hugs to you. Dealing with the family just makes things so much harder and I am sure they think they are being supportive of Tubby not realizing that he just isn't strong enough to deal with all the calamity they bring with them.
Laura, We have serious red clay here as well. Compost will work wonders for your soil. You should look into getting a load of mushroom soil and till it in if you can. If that isn't an option then just keep amending your soil bit by bit with compost, if you have any horse farms in your area they are usually giving away manure if you can't find or load that you can always buy bagged processed cow manure.
Betty, I agree with the other girls, you need to find out where the issue is. I'm worried and you need to get back to the Dr and whatever other tests they need to run.
Elf, What a great haul, I just love the tropical plants you southern girls have.
Well, I must go still haven't gotten thru all the reading yet. My son and his girl are going kayaking and need a drop off ride so I must see where I need to pick her up at. It is raining here with T-storms possible and they are going anyway. What adventurous kids I have.

Good morning, oOOOOOh Don't like this 9:00 and no Betty or anyone.

Weather here is pretty good, so don't think she is without power.

Dianne, sure do understand your concern with DH. Don't like that at all as I said on other thread. Sure need to build that bridge between you and Betty so I can get over there quicker.

Mary, I agree....AJ needs to do what he can to help and stimulate my desire to kill myself with what he wants me to do. He does an awesome massage.....and I should have my hands slapped for thinking what all I do. ROFL At tops...he might be 32.

I would definately like to know what it is with him and also my eye Doctor. I walk in and its "hey Trouble, how was your weekend." Or eye doc comes out to waiting room with my file and reads the name "Trouble" so I know its my turn up. What did I ever do to earn this? lol

Betty...where are you.

Morning hugs to Shirley and Tubby, praying you got some rest.
Bev, how is the weather out there? How is Scotty? Meds kicking in?
THinking and praying for Ann & Mike also.

I need some more tea....so running off for now.

Debbie

Holly we did get horse manure and added compost over the fall/winter. So this is the first time we planted anything and it is a wait and see.
Well running.....be back later

Morning all, blue sky, sun is trying it's best to stay out but wind is blowing and is so very cold!

I've been up for hours, with working from home today it afforded me early morning shopping time in Midland..makes it easy when Super Walmart is only 10 minutes away..

On my 2nd cup of coffee, played cut-outs with Christmas fabrics ..jumped to month 12 so I could have mega cutting to do,Laura, when I post a photo of this panel you'll see that the lovely Christmas fabric is now socks..lol

As for health, eyesight is clearer, no headache when I got up but add some running around and it's there, not in full force so I know I must sit,do,sit do and I will finally get some things done.

Dianne, sorry to hear DH is not finding relief with his visits to the therapist..smart lady, not trying to continue the process without searching for the underpaying cause..not an easy thing even when referred for test to get them immediately, as I was told here by all of you, perhaps if you had him brought in to emerge letting them know he cannot go on I. So much pain they may start the process..hard on the
nerves laying in pain and not being able to help out, or do daily chores...then all of that you get to add your headaches..darts..would take some stress away if as you say you can hire someone who can do the list of 'to do' s' you've accumulated all winter..with those done it will be less of a worry! Hope the day brings you both sunshine!

Shirley, Mary will be thrilled in getting rhubarb for her garden!

Glad you were there to physically offer support for Tubby, sure would have been disastrous had he fallen. I'm with you, this time is for both you and Tubby and not an entire houseful of people that is draining your energy and knaw'ing at your nerves..guess Tubby is too ill to somehow get the point across that he loved seeing her but thinks it's time she goes home and rests as well? Darts I hate to see you have to take all the hard knocks yourself, been there and done that and hate to say the worse is yet when it will come time to-dealing
with them!

Hopefully this morning you will be able to get outside for a bit, fresh air always seems to clear the mind especially when you walk the gardens and see new growth coming!

Hungry, off to make us some muffins...

Hope Betty's DM is Ok and no complications from her surgery yesterday. Thhink if we don't hear from Betty by noon we should try and find a # to call - does anyone have her work #? What a bunch of worry warts we all are!!! Sure is nice to know people care though.
My Bleeding Hearts are up in all 3 locations. HURRAH! I was worried the last snow we had got 1 of them on the lakeside. Just raked some more leaves off of the garden.Figure if I work outside 45 - 60 min and then read for a bit I might not be too sore. Going to rain/wet snow or even snow staying on the ground overnight. Ugh as our friend Adina would say!!!!
Dianne

Big relief here Betty - ya had us all stewin'. Looking forward to the muffins.
Dianne

I am here Debbie and boy do those doctors have you number!! Lol those blue eyes looking up at them must send them in a headspin!

I'm in 7th heaven puttering around, the past 6 weeks I've done nothing so it truly is a blessing to feel like doing something..sure some of you know where I speak!

Oh Laura, you will so love this panel..thanks for your kindness..amazing when you need 12 different designs how difficult it is.

Kris, everything planted this morning..so bet your gardens take your breath away..nothing like walking in Garden of Eden and knowing you had your hands in the design..yikes smell plastic, wonder if I left a pot in it

Lol

I learned last night that my friend lost her husband and 18 month old daughter in the storms on Friday night. A church group is rebuilding her home so she's not homeless but she can't afford to pay for the funeral, so if anyone can please donate you can via paypal to donationsforjeff@ymail.com.

Omg Crissy, how horrific for her..you must be heartbroken and in need of a prayer...feel them coming over the airwaves..storm comes and goes but the aftermath lasts forever. Is there no agency that helps financially when a disaster as such takes a life?? Sure hope financial needs are met..lord sure has a lot to deal with, perhaps our prayers should be focused on prayers for Him as well



As for Ann/Mike, I received this email a short while ago

Hi......Sorry have just put the computer on.  Mike went into the hospital on Friday.  His oxygen was really low, heart rate really high, dehydrated etc.  He came back home around noon today then they came to deliver oxygen, i went to get his new meds, a hospital bed has been delivered and a nurse came to show me how to deliver morphine inhalations and other things he might need from the symptom kit that was also delivered. Melissa stayed and will go home sometime tomorrow.  I have to go to Barrie for the social worker tomorrow but if you are going to be home maybe I will pop in for a visit.  I had planned to do that both Sat and Sunday but with the hospital just never got around to it.  How are you feeling


Come sit, I'll make the coffee, we will have a hot banana muffin, give thanks for what we have, prayers for friends in need!!

Oh Betty that's horrible, poor Anne and Mike!

How are you feeling? What's going on with the headaches? I want to catch up but I know there's no way LOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUBBY!!!!!!!

Is terrible, it's the sitting / waiting /watching you loved one die without being able to do anything about it that gets you down..let's hope the Lord in his wisdom has his angel of mercy come to take him home..

Glad that with the long weekend coming up she will have the girls at home t help her!

Crissy, although not 100% better, am more than 1/2 way there bringing down the high blood pressure..

Well my friend, I guess it never rains but it pours. Crissy, I'm so sorry about your friends. I just finished sending a donation to NC for a dear friend of my brother. Wish I could help all.
Oh Betty, I wish so much I could be there with you to help comfort Ann. I did the same thing as she with Norm's Mom. She lived with us and we kept her home to pass. I too had to learn about the drugs and such. It was not easy but when she passed, I had no regrets. I knew that I had done everything I could to make her happy and comfortable for the last three years she had. My SIL did the same thing for my Mom. All we can do is hope our children will care for us that way when our time comes.

I have finally found out the reason I have been a bit depressed and didn't want to post or anything. I couldn't see!!! I went to the eye dr yesterday and I'm now legally blind in my left eye. NOT to panic. It is a cataract!!! I'm have made a consulting appointment with an eye surgeon for May 2 and will have it operated on after that. I was also told the other eye will need to be done after a 5-6 month waiting period. I've been using magnifying glasses and a large font on the computer for about three months. Now I know why!!! I'm not concern
ed about the surgery. Cataract work is very common now and I have great faith in the doctor I'm seeing. I've worn glasses since I was a teenager and there is a chance I won't need to wear any after these operations!!!!
Shirley my heart is with you too my dear. I pray for your strength and Tubby's comfort. I know he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings but I'm glad you will lower the boom when necessary. This is YOUR time together and you really don't need to share with anyone if you choose not to. You certainly don't need this kind of crap going on and neither does Tubby.
I must finish some laundry. I'll be back later....
Oh, Judy I'll be calling tonight. It's supposed to be quiet here I think!!!!

That is worse than horrible. I hope so, my goodness.

Ah! So you have high blood pressure that's causing the headaches. I'm so glad you found out the culprit and can get rid of them! Did you cancel the other test or are you still going to have it?

Barb my mom had cataracts removed from both of her eyes at the same time about 15 years ago, it's wonderful to get that taken off, you'll be able to see again!! They were making my mom see triple of everything!

You got it Crissy. Can you imagine I can see three and four of you every time Betty posts a picture!!!! Heehee

LOL!!!!! That's funny Barb!!

Crissy so sorry to hear of friends loss. Such a shame.
Barb at least you have found out what is cousing the problem and seems like it will be easy to fix.
Betty I am so glad you will have a use for the fabric. Happy to send more if you need.

Goodness, you all have been busy!
yes Dianne, I started PT today, and she told me I need to keep it elevated above my heart, to get some of the swelling down, and ice will help also. She gave me a fistfull of silly putty, yellow and bllue, and told me to keep pinching it, till I get it all mixed and it turns green. She a lso told me to use rubberbands around my fingers, ans use those for resistance! So I am sitting here, playing with the silly putty. Not an easy thing to do!

LK I bet you have damaged tendons from the door slamming on them.
