Thanks, HH

I should be used to her going in an out of the hospital. When it is our child, it really hurts.

Thanks, everyone

My daughter had her procedure today and it went well. They are going to watch her for awhile and then she can go home.

My brother’s stroke was serious and he has to do rehab, PT, OT and speech therapy. He’s having issues with walking, his mobility in general and speaking.

Yesterday was a hard day for me. My phone rang early. It was my brother who lives in D. C.

I have been looking forward to seeing him on the 1st. He had reservations to fly into New Orleans and stay for a week.

In one phone call, everything changed. He was having difficulty speaking and in the ICU due to a stroke. He certainly won’t be coming home to visit now. He’s been through so much. I hope that he can recover quickly.

Then, later in the day, while my husband and I were out running errands, my oldest daughter calls, she is going back into the hospital. She too has many health issues.

So many people take their health for granted and others struggle horribly. I get a little down at times thinking about how many things can go wrong with our mental and physical well being.

Lol. My daughter recently told me that based on her future FIL’s personality , she is assuming he will be very difficult to deal with and stubborn when he’s elderly . I told her to eat a chipwich . 🙄🤷‍♀️.

Hothouse,

Glad you had a nice visit. I remember having the rare nice visit with my mom . DH has had rare ones with FIL as well but not recently .

I don't have a whine moment today, and believe it or not I finally have something nice to write. I visited my father yesterday at the NH, Was allowed to go into the large room where the residents congregate. They were playing Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole music. Spent a lovely hour sitting with him and his little group singing along. They are really nice people and have a great sense of humor. Had to laugh, one resident has dementia and started ranting and raving over something. When the nurse walked in all the other residents yelled to the nurse good naturedly "Give her the Pill!". I guess she was due for her meds because the nurse did. Just a humorous moment.


My dad was in good spirits. I left feeling good about it all. It was a good day.

Venting, Yeah I hear you. No one knows what is in store for them. Everyone has to play the hand that was dealt to them. Some have it easier than others when it comes to caregiving and dealing with elders.

Sunday morning here. I’m watching a movie: love story: the engaged couple are having a dinner party with both sets of young parents, and they’re all happily toasting, “To family!”

And I’m thinking, they have no idea what’s up ahead. (Meaning caregiving and solving problems for elderly people.) (The movie’s not about that at all. But you can see how my mind works.)

Venting, it’s bad when one can’t avoid certain people. Anyway, try to move in different circles. Then at least you catch some of the good people, too.

Thanks Llama!! Kind of you!!

I seem to bump into a huge amount of dishonest and rude people (like yesterday). People who don’t keep their word. It’s people I can’t avoid. I hope soon I have better luck of just bumping into better people.

Llama,

I love spring! One of my favorite trees in the Spring are the cherry blossoms! So pretty! I also love the dogwood trees. We went to D. C. and Virginia to see them. We don’t have those trees here. They are beautiful!

Llama,

Concord is nice. We were there years ago on a trip to see the beautiful fall leaves in New England. We flew into Boston, visited Concord and Lexington, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
