Hi everyone:

Holidays get harder as we get older. As children we looked forward to the presents and the no-school days, now we have the real life experiences to worry about....

Dottie: I'm really sorry about what you are going through... It is heartbreaking... Reading that brought tears to my eyes .

Nora: I lived all the The girl who played w fire series. Hope you enjoy them. Thank you for your concern.

Mama: glad your husband is back to his normal self.

Hi, sunbeam, roz, Paula, and others.

Today, I'm going to look at the people/things I still have in my life, instead of what/who I don't have anymore. I'm going to thank God for lending me time for being w those who were in my life, and pray that he will continue to guide me and use me to help others.

Went to the care conference today and he was OK but of course thought we were there to take him home….sigh…but by the time we were ready to leave he was totally confused…probably wont even remember we were there…..I feel better after the meeting and know he is in the right place for as long as he can afford it...The support group meeting is Wednesday so I know that will help too.
Thanks for all the support I really do appreciate it..

Dottie and Juga, we are also dealing with my MIL's decline. She has had Parkinson's for quite some time, now they are calling it Multiple System Atrophy. She still knows us, but she is so confused and stressed about things that aren't true like unpaid bills, or at 2:00 she will insist it is time to go down to dinner. Nothing can dissuade her. She is still in assisted living with lots of hired help, will be going to a nursing home soon. My SIL very capably manages everything, we make the 6 hour trip as often as we can. It is just so hard to watch. Her brother died last week, that is the third sibling she has lost within a year.

Hi, loves,

Made the best of the day. Helped Mom with everything, and then took off for my favorite little city. Had a mani-pedi, and went to T J Maxx and bought brand new clothes and shoes for me. No Salvation Army or thrift stores this time around. Felt like crap as I made purchases for me instead of someone in need. Guilt abounds. My checking account balance is low now, but I don't give a flying f***.

DH and I had a go-round last night. I find him impossible to communicate with. I have no voice, and I'm tired of it. Spent all day looking for "For Rent" signs. Can I make it without his insurance? No. Stupidest mistake of my life was not keeping my own insurance when I retired, regardless of the cost.

I'm in bed now talking to you, and he softly whistles every now and then. That's how I know he's uncomfortable. Not a good poker player. He'll let me have it full-bore eventually. He's real good at shutting me down very quickly. I have to find my voice.

Thank God I have a job to go to tomorrow.

Love to all,:h

Juja

Sweet Paula, I'm sorry you've been so ill. I hope hubby feels better soon, too.

This seems to be the year for sickness. Who hasn't been ill on this thread? Zen? Dottie? That's about it, isn't it?

Good morning everyone. Need to get ready for work....
