Oh, Kelley, darn it! I'm at work so... We're between appointments now. pamela, I am doing okay and hubby's back is much much better. I'm sorry about your trauma. Glad it's OK now.
Afternoon everyone!!! Today went GREAT. the 2nd clients social worker liked me so much, she asked if i wanted MORE clients!!! The first lady. Ill call her Mrs. B.. she is such a hoot! a real spitfire, love it.. she has mild Alzs so on my info sheet that i gave her she wrote "she is a young fart as i am an old fart" we were crackin up the entire time i was there.. Her, i will look forward to every week!
My 2nd client.. its actually pretty sad for her.. shes a temporary case as her home will be taken from her soon and she has recently gone blind.. this is on top of her having Alzs.. the social worker was trying to remove her from the home even before she went blind so... ugh i feel bad for her, but i see how she lives and she really cant do it on her own.. so it will be better for her...
i swear, Pirate, with every story i admire you more and more!
this is probably the most anyone will ever see me be religious.. as im really not, but.. if there is a heaven... and theres a special place for children.. then i have to believe there is a special place for you ladies...
im not a mom either lol in my profile i used my cats name and said she was special needs.. i didnt exactly LIE.. my hannah is my baby lol.. shes certainly special needs hahaha... i just love the games on there...
if you look under meet moms.. im kgraywolf.. i only have one friend so.. you know who that is lol
Will we have a computer on board can not start the day without reading the obits a clown at the senior center asked me if I saw my name. Another day when I was taking food home they give us too much food at lunch -so I take a container and put 1/2 in it a man said can't you see the sign that says do not take food home-I told him I could not read ENGLISH Maxine here
Hey bobbie321, is that your name on Cafemom? Can't wait to "see" you there. I was up chatting with KellyBean till 4am my time. Poor thing had to work today. It was so cool to talk to her and see all the pictures, too. I am excited! I think dark chocolate is the best choice. More antioxidants, they say, though I could care less about those. I like the natural mellowing agents, like ketchup. LOL, for all you Prairie Home Companion folk. ha ha I do like Good & Plenty's most of all. Great for female cramps, menopause, and mood things...try it and see what I mean. You'll be addicted, too. Not bad medicine for a buck. Get the theater box size. One box a day does me just fine!!!!! Morning noon and night. The dentist won't like em though.
Pirate Gal, I wish I could have gotten mom on some of those meds. Actually, the doctors tried, but she refused. Used my dad (retired Pharmacist) as an excuse. He was dumb not to put her on them...except she was on Tylenol #3, and #4, and on 200 mcg of Fentanyl, and Ten High. Think he was trying to do her in? Hmmmmmmm. It almost did. If she had been a good girl and taken her Psych meds, perhaps she wouldn't have taken me to court. Ha Ha. As least you can contain your mommy dearest. Mine's a piece of work! Now the PG and the county can take care of her...and I'm...well, almost...hopefully...free?
At least, almost to the boat. Hey, I was thinking. Why do we need a bird? Can't we just look up in the sky at them?
which one is Demi? I forgot. And miz, and all...Yeah, where is nutz? Is she out looking for boats? BTW, what's wrong with boat shopping? I'd kinda like to sail again one day. Soon! Ciao, all. Hope your day is positively great.
And Bobbie, doesn't matter which group you join. That is up to you; wherever you feel comfortable, or led... You have a profile page, and a wall page, and can do all sorts of cool things there, like posts slide shows, pictures, download stuff, play games, "friend" people. I can see Bobbie joining a "boat" group, LOL, or starting her own. Which gives me an idea...why not!?! Yeah, Bobbie. Wanna start the Poco Loco Love Boat for Caregivers? Could be a hoot. You can see all about starting groups there... And I'll be looking for you! I'll "friend" you, so you can get to my wall. I'm not Secret Sister there, though...
OK, Ciao! Je' Taime' Bien, (er...something like that!)
You bet I remember that lady in the movie, On my way to do the paperwork for mom.... oooohh I am slow and crazy for sure. On the way back I'm getting some chocolate for real.
oh and about chocolate it's a proven painkiller, ever wonder why you crave it around your period, cramps and PMS? Or whenever you need a quick pick me yup. Anyone see or remeber the movie "Chocolate"..the one with Johnny Depp remember what the cocoa nibs did to the husband? That lady became the shopkeepers most valued customer! LOL
oh and by the way I love the name for the boat ''PACO LOCO'
Pirate, it is very tough. The not understanding and not knowing what is real and what is an emergency. Well, what you said. :) Sometimes I call my sister-in-law because she's a nurse but she is not here. Pirate, you keeping your sanity through all of that with your mom says so much to how strong you are. I really admire you. :)
Hi folks, well my mom has not been having any more rages after the meds settled in. When she went to the emergency ward that time, the next day was even worse. They had admitted her to the hospital because they found a tad of pneumonia and had to have that cleared before transferring her to the 72 hour hold. That day I sat in the hospital (and they had to have sitters - young nurses in training that would sit there because she was a flight risk)...she went on and on about how I needed to go to her house about the mail, boy she got testy about that..it went on all day. That was nerve racking...then when she was out of the psych ward..3 days later I had taken Family Leave for 4 weeks, well it was the second week and I had gotten over there around 11:00 and I had a feeling I should have gotten there earlier, well as I pull into the driveway I hear her raging in the kitchen (mind you this was June 2009), well heck I was ticked.,.,I went into the house and she was raging about the neighbor next door, saying he had opened the back gate and opened up the garage door and went into the garage. I was thinking no way..the guy next door is so messed up physically. I thought okay I will least check out her story. I knocked on the mans' door and felt like an idiot, he was bewildered.,.,but I could still hear her raging through his house out his front door...wow. So then I look behind me and she is there.,,,,and so I apologize to him and say hey I am just checking out her story,l know she's not right. So we get back in the house and she says some crazy stuff about him not going along with her...what? Well after 4 weeks those meds finally take effect. That was about the last time she had any real outbursts. So she has slowly slowed down. Now it's a different route a more depressing one about constipation, not feeling good, headaches. But at least it's not the real crazy stuff but some of this stuff has driven me a bit nuts. Like I said before this is tough for us because a lot of this stuff resides in a medical, geriatric, psychcriatic fields, not just a simple family member...so this makes it tough the not understanding and not knowing what is real and what is not and what is medical and what is not and what is critical or an emergency and what is not. WHEW...did I say enough?
bobbie, thank you!! As my hubby would say, You're so awesome!! I went to cafemom and signed up. I have no kids except for my two cats but I really want to be able to chat with you guys sometimes. (And sometimes I feel like I'm my mom's mom now.) What group do I join?
i showed him your post Miz and got a big wet one from him! thank you for your very sweet compliment.
thanks for being there last night. Man. if it wasn't for you guys... and Miz, I'm telling you, you have helped me so much. thank you again! I guess cafemom should be for moms but SS said that she and kelley were able to chat over there and that works for me! Just because my kid is a little older than other moms........
Good Morning all, Nik wants me to say hello to everybody because I have been telling him about how awesome you guys are and he can see it in my demeanor that I am more grounded. And I think he's happy that I don't just sit here and look at boat porn!
