Yes, wiping herself is something Mom just doesn't seem to be capable of. If you catch her right as she leaves the bathroom you can avert a problem. If not, it could get ugly.

My mom will wipe her rectum with her hand if left alone in the bathroom, doesn't do it as long as I stay with her.
My daughter worked in an Alzheimer's care facility and would comment that the paitents seemed to have feces slinging parties almost every night.

hello shipmates.

i've been on the boat with the Captain for 3 days now and he's going through all the systems. We leave tomorrow for St. Augustine for a few repairs and then North.

RIP!! Almost There!! We'll probably do the renaming up in St Augustine!
easy peasy 2 day cruise. This boat really moves. Slow.

Build for Comfort and not for Speed.

Like me.

Flex!! got to do the Teak rails!! Wanna do some teak in Charleston?

Rosella, you hang in there, you'll be here before you know it. until then work like hell to make it funny and warm because it sux so bad.

Rossella, dozing on the deck with a nice cold drink, getting tan and I have to have my smokes. Who knows, maybe if all this stress is over I won't need the smokes. But all that sure does sound good.

Rosella, I understand your jealousy of others going on vacations. I really do. I'm so sorry about your day today. Just think about the boat.

Mary, my best friend and her hubby live in Wisconsin in the Dells and there's a Renaissance Fair up there also. Hubby's into that stuff. We have a Celebration downtown here next weekend so maybe we can get away and go to that. Music and stuff to buy and that good old carnival food. :) And, yes, I sure do need a break. My doc really wants me to.

SS, I had an interview last Monday and I have a second one this coming Monday. They did up the pay a little for me so I think they really want me. My boss isn't going to be too happy with me because she wants me to get a job in the hearing aid business but I have to get something part time and start bringing in some money. It's 19 hours a week M-F in the afternoons. That works out well cause I can do my thing around the house in the morning and then go to work.

love,
miz

Mary, I'm with you on the boat. Hope you're having a great time, Bobbie!

Bummer for the flattened wicker box! Rosella. Sounds like you should be on the boat, too.

I am very nervous and impatient and fed up those days. I think it is because everyone is going on vacation and I can't. 4 of my cousins are in US, by the way. They are now in NYC and they will make a trip and will arrive to California. Other friends are on the beach, other ones on the mountains! I do not know if you are jealous of people that go on vacation. I am. On top of that, we had a very complicated day with my mother. I had to buy something in a shop and I brought her with me. Big mistake. I lost sight of her for 5 seconds and she sat on a wicker box. She crashed it and collapsed to the ground. The lady in the shop was very kind and was worried that my mother had hurt herself. She hadn't, but she had smashed the box, and a lamp had fallen to the ground. I was very lucky because the lamp did not get broken. I insisted on buying the crashed box (the lady of the shop said it did not matter - a fine person) (she made me a 50% discount.... I shall have to go back to that shop and buy something else). Then I went back to the car and my mother complained because she did not want to go home.
So, yes, I would need to go on vacation as hell.

Dang Miz ...
Don't you need a break?
What's in Wisconsin?

I think you should head to the east coast & intercept Bobbie's boat at an unknown port.
I wish we all could.
Imagine ....
Bobbie docking at a marina, hopefully not charging the pier, (private joke for captains)
& there would be a dozen of her faceless friends that suddenly had faces!
Waiting to board the Barbara B with drinks & Chippendale men.
oh - OK ... Chippendale guys don't hold a condle to our brains ...

Bobbie knows our lives, just not our appearances!
If dreams could come true I wish we could make it happen.

OK ... I am dreaming while awake. Need to take care of my dear Dad & finish my household trudge.
Maybe sleep tonight ...

Bless you one & all!

Your confidential friend,
Mary

Pirate, my mom has gained quite a bit of weight since Dad died. I think it's mostly from inactivity. Where in So Cal are you? I lived in San Diego for 9 years in the '80s.
