I had another small issue today, but nothing like yesterday's 3 times changing pads on chairs and changing him from the skin out 3 times. I don't know how to stop this....

I wish I had an answer or even an idea, but I don't. I will be praying!
Still doing well. Tummy isn't great this morning but no attacks! We put a turkey in the oven and it should be ready by lunch time! That shouldn't bother my tummy. I've been able to eat some normal stuff, but I need to limit it to one normal thing a day, and keep the rest mild. Yesterday was a very good day, mild pain and no real tummy issues. God is good!
Not much else happening with me.

So glad you had a better day
At 2:30 am, I got up to check on Bill and he had done it again. I got him up, cleaned up, covers in washer and when I started to re-dress him, I reached for comfy oversized pants and thought that maybe they were too easy to pull off, so I put a pair on him that are a bit tight around the waist. When I got him up this morning, it looked like maybe he had tried to pull down from the back and wasn't successful. Maybe I just need to put tight pants on him instead of easy and comfy ones. If that doesn't work….duck tape? Suspenders? Super glue? Mouse traps? Electric shock? Well, maybe those ideas aren't so good.

Hugs and prayers to you, Connie. I'm glad you're able to keep your sense of humor about you.
Sitting in the salon, waiting to get my hair cut. The kids put together something for Mother's Day today - brunch at my son's house. Dave and I are leaving on Sunday for the start of the last 3 cities on this tour we're doing - Westchester, NY, Chicago, Las Vegas.

Oh, Connie. I hope that you don't have to resort to that last one, but suspenders might work!
Cindy, have a really fun day today! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to our mom's! Hope each of you has a very special day.

The girls came over today for Mother's Day. They are such sweet ladies and I am beyond blessed to have gotten them when I got Bill. There is not a lot of difference in our ages, and I'm not sure if I would have been as sweet as they have been if my Dad would have decided to marry someone 6 or 7 years older than me…..
Last night was a pretty good night…no mousetraps or electrical shock needed, Today has been pretty good, as well.
Tomorrow, I'm not sure how I am going to go see Mom and go to church. I can get Bill out for one of them, but not for both, and I'm not comfortable leaving him. I am thinking of taking him to church and then going by Mom's on the way home (A LONG WAY OUT OF THE WAY). Church is 2 miles from us and Mom is 14 miles from us. I will just have to see how he is doing tomorrow. If I feel comfortable leaving him, I will just do a 15 minute run by for church and he can go with me to see mom after lunch.

Made my decision for the morning. We got up a little early and went to see mom right after breakfast. Then to church on the way back home. That way I didn't have to leave Bill and didn't have to worry about mom's meal schedule.

Good plan! I'm assuming Bill enjoyed Church since you mentioned he does like the attention of folks welcoming him and wishing him well.
Had a fairly good day yesterday, just a tiny bit of stomach issue, but able to go to Bible class and both services. Mother's Day service was very nice. One of the young ladies brought each of the moms a corsage, she is a sweetie! Precious Memories was sung as a special and Pastor David shared some precious memories of his mom and dad and then quite a few others also had precious memories of their moms past and those still present. Really nice.
Am quite sleepy this morning. I think that the meds I take at night to help me sleep are just keeping on this morning! I got at least seven and a half hours of good sleep last night and I still want to put my head down on the table and go to sleep! 😴
Hope this week is really good and Jesus is closer to you than ever before! Love you ladies!

Bill's new primary care NP was here this morning. This switch has really thrown off communications. She wasn't getting the orders for Bill and we weren't getting information about canceled appointments. Hopefully since she has been here we will both get better communication.
0 -
At least you now know what's been going on! I hope it all works out now and Bill can get the care he needs in a timely fashion!
I have a bunch of records problems with the orthopedist - three different charts! One for Hickory and two for this area. Oh boy!
I hope y'all have a great day.

We had good days on Sunday and Monday, and so far today! Yay!
Kansas has decided to get warm, so I am expecting storms at any time. It usually goes hand in hand, hot weather in the spring is followed by storms. We are expecting rain on Sunday, but it wouldn't surprise me if it comes earlier.
0 -
Our weather has been storms on and off and today should be the same. It's fine with me, the summer is drying and we need a good soaking to see us through those dry days coming up - dry and HOT days!
Oh, I forgot to say in the What Have You Done thread - I drank more liquids yesterday - other than my coffee (17 oz with creamer) I had one and a half bottles of water or 24oz. I usually only drink around 8 oz of water and sip on my coffee throughout the day.

Even warmer today! I left Bill long enough to grab a haircut and it made my walk after lunch. Thank goodness for a slight breeze.

Doing alright on the liquids, I drank about 20 oz of water and also part of an orange Coke, as well as my coffee. My yo-yo is set at 234-235 now rather than 239-240! Lord willing I can hold at that and then lose some. I am thinking that 50 of my pounds are ones I can't lose unless I get liposuction. That would put me at 180, so I need to lose at least 30 more pounds to be at the weight I was when I got married. Okay, I've been working at it for at least 20 years (since getting on Spark People) and have gone from 263 down to 235 today - it should only take me another 20 years to lose that next 30 lbs! LOL! Praise the Lord for the 30 I have lost! We will just keep chipping away at it.

At least you haven't been gaining like I did. WOW, I gained way too much!

I have 25 lbs that I just can't lose. It's very frustrating. This is the last city of the 5-city tour I was on. I can't wait to go home and sleep in my own bed for two whole nights. I get home late tomorrow night (my flight lands after 10pm and I probably won't be home until close to midnight). We're going over to my son and daughter-in-law's on Saturday to celebrate 9-year old Charlotte's (our granddaughter) birthday. Then I head back out on Sunday to San Diego. I have an aunt out there that I haven't seen in years. She's my mother's younger sister, but we don't have a lot in common and aren't close. Debating whether or not to reach out…

Happy Birthday, Charlotte! I hope you have safe travels, Cindy!
Oh my, Wade came home with my favorite pizza - Little Caesar's Pretzel Crust with cheese sauce. I had eaten my yogurt with some spiced homemade applesauce and some homemade granola - then he walks in! I did eat two slices and dinner will be very small!

Cindy - have a great time with the family. I'm sure the your travel is exhausting. Work travel was always exhausting for me, and when I did it, it was usually to the same places, staying in familiar hotels and working with familiar staff. Usually every other week. That's why I went to Old Navy and a much lower position...totally tired of travel and the stress.

Wade did a lot of traveling when he started his job with Beckman-Colter and I was able to go to California (their headquarters are there) a couple of times with him, we ended up going to San Diego for our 25th wedding anniversary we like it so much; now, I wouldn't go if you paid me! Most of his travel was near our home, but there were many times he had to stay overnight at a place a few hours away, just too late to come home and then go back in the morning. I think that that was the last time I was on a plane too! This year is our 41st anniversary!

We're a little behind you - in February of this year we celebrated our 36th. 🧡
Dave picked up the same job again this year (for the 3rd year in a row). He'll be gone a lot of the summer again. 121 days between July and November (that's 121 days out of 153). Gulp. BUT - when someone asks him why, he says, "We raised four kids, now we're focusing a little on retirement."

Boy, I can understand that. Hopefully he won't wear himself out before he retires! LOL!

That is a LOT of travel, and I complained about 5 days every other week!
I'm the old lady of the group, but Bill and I have just been married 34 years. He spoiled me for 30 years, now it's my turn.

What a great attitude! It's amazing in these days for us to have been or are still married for so long - having Christ at the center sure makes a difference.

I just saw an article about my pastor as a teen. He was the best preacher that I have ever heard, and he had a heart for the youth of the church. He kept us so busy that we didn't have time to backslide…. Anyway, the Southern Missouri district just awarded him a certificate for 80 years as an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. When he turned 80, he moved to Springfield, MO and pioneered a church. He turns 102 this month and at the end of the month he is traveling from Springfield to Chicago to minister in another of his former churches. He had a profound influence on a lot of people. When I was in Bible College, he would come as a guest minister a couple of times a year and was one of the most beloved. The pictures of he and his wife made me smile, so many great memories.

How wonderful! I love your like about being kept so busy you didn't have time to backslide. So true too! Stay busy for Jesus. 102, that's amazing, and still ministering!
I hope that y'all were fine through all of those storms. You were in my prayers! We have family who live near to St. Louis, but it stayed east of them - thank You, Lord. It went north of us. We could use more rain, but I'm glad we didn't get those strong storms!
I saw my NP yesterday. She asked me to come in after a tele-visit, she wanted to listen to my lungs. She didn't hear any diminished breaths, everything sounded clear to her (which it did the first time I had pneumonia). Because the x-ray the first time didn't show anything either she went ahead and we are doing the antibiotics. She wasn't convinced it was pneumonia, but wants a CT scan a month from now to make sure my lungs are clear. She also told me to keep calling the rheumatologist so they won't "lose" my referral! If they don't get back in touch with me (like they didn't the last two times I called) I'm not sure I trust them to take care of me! There is another rheumatologist in New Bern that I could see (a friend of mine sees him), but I want to give this group a chance before I ask to be referred to the other guy. It seems rheumatologists are in high demand these days - wonder what in our world is making so many of us have these struggles!
I hope y'all have a beautiful day! It will be hot and clear today for us. I better get out on the porch before it gets too hot! LOL!
