I'm back online! I took it to my computer guy and it worked fine at his place, then when I got it home everything was back to normal. I'm not sure if the issue was fixed by my IP or it was something else.

So, this was my program for today, to turn my life around.

1. Focus on MY health.
2. Spend more time with people who are good for you.
3. Evaluate how you spend your time.
4. Find your passion.
5. Love yourself, even during tough times.

That lasted about 5 minutes. In reality, this is what I did.

1. Stress eating.
2. Spent time writing Volume 8 of “People who get on your nerves”, co-authored by Anabanana, Need, Scampie, Burnt, Oldage, Southiebella, Poodle…and many others.
3. I was too busy to evaluate how I spend my time 🙂.
4. Food.
5. Ok, if you say so.

So sorry to hear of your dads fall Tgengine. Hopefully he will make it back to his nice room. You know the drill from long years of caregiving and can appreciate that he is getting the care he needs.
I hope your daughter gets settled soon. Maybe change the locks🤔🤨😇.. Just teasing.

Dads in a retirement facility now, placed him in a very nice facility with ability to be in his own room and bathroom and 3 meals a day and activities as long as he is able to get around in his walker and dress and get to the bathroom and bed with some coaching or minor assistance. well that lasted not a week. He fell getting into or out of bed, they ordered a hospital bed, that didn't work, so they send him to the health care wing with a double room for PT and OT. Not happy about it, has a near deaf roommate driving him crazy. Hes getting PT but not not sure if he does not get better he will loose his nice room.
He is where he needs to be, there was no way we were going to be able to handle him at my home.
On our end live is better but a daughter is bouncing back and forth. Never get a break! I left home at 21 and kept going..... not this generation.

cwillie, if it turns out to not be your provider... for a wifi adaptor, have you looked on amazon.com? In that site search "wifi adapter for pc" and many will come up. Any questions on how to install or use will be easily found on YouTube, for instance if you have a very old PC it may require a different solution.

“I live in a small town so there is nowhere nearby to buy a WiFi adapter or a tablet.”

I should live there so I spend less time on the internet. 🙂

Unfortunately my PC isn't WiFi capable. They are sending a tech on Friday so I will wait it out. But the person I spoke to said he could see problems with others in my area so it could be my internet provider, I'm hoping it will be fixed sooner.

cwillie, if I understand your problem correctly, can you use your phone as a hotspot to access your wifi for your other devices? I'm on a Mac so can't give you specifics for a PC, but go to YouTube and and search this: "How to use your phone as a hotspot for pc" -- many instructional videos will come up. Also in YouTube, search for "how to fix a PC that can't connect to the internet". Hopefully one will help you.

The internet on my PC is offline for some reason and I'm limited to WiFi on my phone. I spend my whole day on line and this sucks big time, I don't know how people live on their tiny phones

In case this helps anyone, here’s the program I’m creating to turn my life around:

1. Focus on MY health.
2. Spend more time with people who are good for you.
3. Evaluate how you spend your time.
4. Find your passion.
5. Love yourself, even during tough times.

Ugh day. Just venting, not looking for feedback. Just need to get it off my chest.

I wonder if anyone on the forum was able to turn their life around, while the LO is alive. I don’t mean, just making it a bit more bearable for oneself by taking some of the load off one’s shoulders. I mean, really turning their life around.

If not, please be the first.

Venting: I don't have much faith in that medical practice. I did not start the Flonase yet as I had another doctor appointment today. It has to be primed. Yeah, not so much on the person (man) who hollered after me to give me it. He wasn't the person to figure anything out.

Thank you. I, too, hope for headache/migraine relief. 💗💗

Llama,

“As I said, that doctor screamed and threw paperwork at me.”

:(

But the other man gave you Flonase. Hopefully it works. He must have said what diagnosis he’s giving it for. He can’t just give medicine without saying what the diagnosis is. I guess sinus?

I wrote “I hope the doctor figures out the cause/treatment.”

I just mean whatever doctor you might need to see. Maybe the Flonase man figured it out.

I hope your migraines stop soon!!

(((Hug)))

Llama,

I have a friend who can’t drink wine or eat chocolate because it will trigger a migraine. She hasn’t had wine or chocolate in years. She says that it not worth getting a headache over.

ITRR,

My word! Scrape your eyeball? That’s insane.

Venting: Thank you.

Yes in re the symptoms of allergy.

I am a migraine headache sufferer.

The doctor figured something out? Yeah, right! Not.

If I ate raspberries as a much younger individual instead of a seventy six year old, it's possible that it was not an issue IF indeed the tannin count did not precipitate a migraine.

As I said, that doctor screamed and threw paperwork at me.

ITRR: Oh, my! That doctor who wanted to scrape your eye should not have been practicing medicine. You're right about the medical industry. Sorry about your intake of avocados. I do know my food related migraine triggers, though the raspberries caught me off guard (if that's indeed the culprit). Thank you so much. After seeing my ear doctor today, I will begin ear drops for an infection. May be the cause of the headaches. I cannot do the doctors' work anymore.

Oh Llama, that is unfortunately the state of our medical industry nowadays.

I had a "drunk as a sailor on leave" doctor when I went to an urgent care eye specialist. She wanted to scrape my eye to get the piece of wood out. YIKES!!! NOT!!! I am hesitant to use them now.

I feel for you. I found out from trial and error, when I started getting massive headaches, that I can eat avocados occasionally and no more then half of one, or I get a blasting headache. So, it does happen and is such a pita.

Who would have thought you can eat something occasionally and in minimal quantities, be totally fine and turn around to have such a terrible reaction when it is introduced on a larger scale.

May The Lord touch you and show you something equally as good for the gut.

Hi Llama,

Typical symptoms of allergy are itchiness, and/or rash, etc…

Headaches can have hundreds of causes. I hope you get well soon! I hope the doctor figures out the cause/treatment. Hopefully the Flonase medicine solves it.
