Hmm
I don't think the SNF where mom is getting her IV has cookies
In fact, nurse told me I couldn't give her any candy - ha ha
If they think I'm not going to give her a treat now and again, they don't know what a berserker Viking will do when she wants a cookie

That said, mom's skin is breaking down now
She slept 24 hours with no food or water Thursday
Nurse asked doctor for IV fluids yesterday at noon and didn't hear back until today at noon

Sepsis is kickin her butt

I want her back in her full size adjustable bed but sending her back to hoca seems like a bad idea too now

SNF is private pay but a bit less than hoca and no where near as comfortable

Still no frick n frack -

I'm wearing the same clothes I had on yesterday - clean undies and socks - and have to go into the office this afternoon

Wish I had the energy to behave badly

Btw, who ever mentioned that series on FX better life or better things - I did a binge watch and quite enjoyed it - dark comedy but this week's episode about a family trip to Canada to visit English relatives was quite brilliant

Cwillie - do you have a good book ? I just ordered the lilac girls or lilac sisters based on a friend's recommendation but suspect it will sit with all the other books I want to read and never get to enjoy

madge (((((((hugs))))) to you and the Viking. It sounds like the sepsis is kicking her butt. Clean undies help. I am sorry you have to go into the office this afternoon. Please take care the best you can. Blessings

Second that, hugs to MsMadge and her dear Mom.
My scientific friend is working on a cookie flavored IV right now, bypassing the taste buds, it allows one's brain to think they just had a cookie.
No doubt, it is an In-N-Out night followed by a cream puff. Thanks MsMadge.

Delay in hydrating patient, not good at all. So sorry!

Oh Send,
What a marvelous idea, an IV cookie solution that tricks the tastebuds into thinking one was just eaten! Where do I sign up? They can put in a PIC line and I'll make a pot of coffee! Cookies are my favorite food in the whole wide world so, the Viking and I share that.
MaMadge, my prayers that your mom will rebound from the sepsis and that her bottom skin will regenerate quickly. Hugs and prayers.

Send, love your cream puff avitar. Hope you enjoyed your burgers.

Mm, cookies and cream puffs sound delish.

MsMadge, my grandmother was nuts for candy, too. Anytime I would walk by where she sat on the couch, she would ask for candy.  I bought big bags of Ricola herbal cough drops and would give her those for her "candy." Looking back, if I'd have thought about the fact that she was 103 and wouldn't live much longer, I would've gotten her the real stuff, some great big chocolates and caramels. I thought I was helping her to be healthier by keeping the sugar down.   Yeah, I vote you spoil your mom with sweets as much as seems reasonable to you.  Nothing worse can happen to her if she has a little candy or some cookies.  

I'm sorry about your mom. No IV fluids for 24 hours? How is her body supposed to fight the sepsis w/o fluids? I'm not a doc but that doesn't seem right. I hope you got some sleep. Please let us know how things are when you can. Thinking of you and your mom.

Really hoping I don’t have to Behave Badly today...The Contractor was supposed to get started 2 Monday’s ago. I have been given pretty legit reasons for the delay. But this the third Monday morning I really expect them to show up!

Today, I have won 1/2 a battle.
Still not feeling the magical "makes you stronger".
Feels more like I need CPR, food, and a shower.
Recommend to already have ALL your papers and house in order ahead of time.
This could have been easier.

MsMadge, i don't understand the withdrawal of IV fluids unless she is going into Heart failure or feel she is actively dying. You do deserve an explanation and be involved in decision making.
Sepsis does have a very poor prognosis especially in the frail elderly. Poor Viking and poor you. This is a terrible time for you both. Big Hugs

I nearly did go to work unshowered today, but then thought better of that idea

I stayed later than originally thought at the SNF after mom's care meeting today and decided to stop at See's and Starbucks before heading home to change for work

i stocked up on cranberry orange truffles and pecan pie truffles

Isn't it great fun being deleted Send? It means you have substance. Good on ya! I think we should all try to get deleted. Make it a contest. See who can get deleted the most.

What was for dinner, MsMadge?

Gershun, what would you do if you were deleted?

Turkey panini and sweet potato fries

Felt a twinge of guilt enjoying it since mom said "meh" to her puree lunch and then the SNF served her the same flipping thing again for dinner to which she said "that again?"

The SNF is making hoca look more and more attractive

I really thought the song went: "You can check out anytime you want, but you can never l e a v e ! " (The Hoca).

Well, leave it to the Viking to get out of the hoca anyway.

You are just going to have to break soms rules, bring her pumpkin pie ( without the crust).
Does that count as pureed?

If I was deleted? I would press ctrl alt delete at the same time and try to bring myself back.

This one is going to be a bit harder....
What would you do if we asked you to impersonate the Viking, we snuck her outta the SNF, and you had to spend the night and pretend to be MsMadge's mom for a day?
