I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I hate pressure sores. For this I say followup followup and followup and do not ignore, don't let anyone else ignore.
You all know the by now boring story of how much my bro wished to die rather than facing down the inevitabilies of his probable Lewy's diagnosis, and that he GOT that wish, and I am more and more grateful for that as the years pass and I know what his losses now would be.
BUT he died of sepsis and that of a TINY non healing wound on his shin that he mentioned to no one. What did he use? Triple antibiotic ointment, his usual getting out and walking. But it went to sepsis and MRSA, resistant to all help. One week in hospital. One back home on hospice and he was gone.
This was what he wanted.
But you DON'T. Please watch this and don't ignore as they can QUICKLY go south, causing loss of tissue much in the way a cat abscess does, silently, down under the skin, going toward the bone.
Please take good care of yourself.
Barb, what great news about hubby!
Glad they recommend wound care clinic . Best idea . The mattress topper sounds great too . They also have gel pads you can buy for your chair during the day .
Hoping that you got some sleep and will find relief and healing for your sore soon. Hugs!
Barb, that is great news!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope you got some sleep and your wound heals quickly .
So happy to hear this news about your husband. I certainly hope that the worst is behind him and that you and your husband will not have any more trips to the hospital any time soon.
Followup CT scan to check up on his kidneys in a month. Ordered in Chinese food tonight to celebrate.
Thanks to all of you for your hugs, support and prayers during the last couple of weeks.
My husband says that the weathermen have the only job where they can be wrong 50 percent of the time and not lose their jobs! 😝
Y’all are getting slammed with snow! It’s almost spring!

Also , dirty slush is gross .
Beatty thx i wasn't bad. Hope kitty gets lost
Need - snow isn't pretty when it melts and turns to slush.
We get our fair share of rainfall too. I don’t like cold weather or rain! Especially, when it rains during jazz fest.
I like plants in pots. I have potted plants on the porch and the patio.
At least, snow is pretty! I’m sure that you’re sick of it though.
I am with you about the beach. I love everything about the beach except for hurricanes! My dad grew up in Florida.
We went to the beach every summer when we were kids. We took our kids throughout their childhood. We still go every so often.
That’s strange that you get the kitty when you try to change it. Have you thought about contacting AgingCare to see if they can fix the problem?
May the cleaning be easy Golden!
My whine is I am still stuck with my New Year's Eve firework avatar. Get the whoops cat trying to change it.. nevermind. I am happy to admire your sweet bird Need!
Thanks ,
We’ve had a decent amount of snowstorms this year . There is still a few inches in the back yard . It melts more in front where it gets more sun especially next to the driveway . That’s where the wet grass , dirt, mold will get me when I go to shovel and I disturb that area again . Plus there are big piles the plows make along the curbs. Shopping centers have big piles still but they are melting . I’m so over winter , even though I know a wet spring won’t be much better allergy wise . I’ve stopped digging in the dirt to plant flowers a few years now . I just have a few planters and flower pots .
I do much better in a sandy beach area ( where I grew up ) than inland like I am now . 🥺
