    Kim,

    Your mom has decided to go home.

    Enable her success to the best of your ability, then take her home.

    Does she have a 911 pendant with GPS in case she falls again?

    Love, Karen

    Just a quick update - PT has told her in no uncertain terms she can not go home at this time without help. So if she demands to go home they will call senior services and get professional help to keep her safe. She backed off in front of PT at least, and I went out to work in the yard.

    thanks for all the support!
    Kim

    :) That's great news

    I am glad you have PT on your side. You can use all the back up you can when it comes to your mom.

    Did the 20-40-60 workout on Wednesday. Soup kitchen tomorrow after work

    Started opening the pool. Got most of the leaves out, got the wasp and hornet traps out, I poured 3 bags of salt (each is 40lbs) in the pool, got some of the ceramics out, cleaned all the tile (the wall between the spa and pool can be challenging) installed the new pool railings. See, when the pool was built they put in stainless steel railings. Do you know how hot stainless steel gets in July and August when the pool is in direct sunlight for 12 hours/day? We had covers, but you could feel the heat even thru the covers. This place in FL makes railings that are not supposed to get hot. Oh, I bet they get at least warm, but not to the point where you burn your hands. I’m thinking that maybe we should also use the covers mainly for traction. I’d thought these were textured, but they aren’t.

    Rebecca “we only hurt the ones we love”...how true! (((HUGS))). I totally understand. It’s been years since I’ve spoken to my son. I’m so sorry your letter was returned to you.

    Ordered pants on Amazon, now have to return one pair. I just wasn’t sure which size would fit better. Now I’d gotten 10’s and they were way to big. The ones from Amazon, the 10 fits me well. Go figure!

    At BK they’re starting this “labor is down” crap. The one manager asked me twice what I needed to do. The second time just the pickles and cleanup. She did it for me. Really, it didn’t save that much time. I do need to see if they really got a 92 on the health inspection. She said that the inspector doesn’t have to come back. I’d always thought that with such a low score, they gave you time to remedy things and they come back to reinspect. Maybe I’m wrong.

    Regarding MFP – lately it seems that whenever I log in to use the “food” tab, it always locks up. I have to restart MFP and then it’s fine. Just a hassle

    Was supposed to go to the dentist Wed. but his office called at the last minute. He had an emergency and wasn’t in the office so now I go next Tuesday

    Rosemarie – I’m glad you weren’t alone for Easter. Sounds like a nice day you had

    Deb and Rosemarie – Vince only goes to church on Christmas and Easter more to make me happy than anything else.

    Mary – I got ANOTHER invoice from the landscaper so I texted back that I continue to get these invoices that don’t reflect the amount I already paid and asked when he was going to complete the work. Haven’t heard back. On the bright side...the check hasn’t been cashed. If he didn’t need it, why did he ask for it?

    The drain overflowed at work today. I told Jerry, and he said that the drain is clogged and that he was going to get something. Came back with nothing and said “well, it stopped” (yea, because less water was running out of the sink). Hope it doesn’t happen Sat. when he’s not there. If so, I guess I’m just going to be in water!

    Tracey – hope you get one of the jobs

    Was able to get a walk in yesterday and today. Yesterday Vince was too tired to go, so I went. Today he went with me, but I continued around the block

    Vince took Loki to the vet today for routine blood work. Seems our vet is going to retire, they’ve hired another vet and asked him to stay just until she gets settled. We’ll probably change to another one of the vets. We understand this new vet is in her 40’s so she’s probably been practicing for a while. But we’ll probably go to another one of the vets

    Flea – good thoughts being sent to your hubby. I know he’ll make the right decision

    Nice and warm today. But it’s supposed to rain tomorrow and get colder. Yuk!

    Patty and westpark – welcome! This is a great group of gals

    Allie – thanks for the pics of Miles. Love them all. Hope he isn’t sick

    Jess adopted a dog. He’s older and she says that he isn’t rambunctious

    4hms – welcome. We are a very supportive bunch

    barbie – I agree with Beth, your posts are very insightful

    sirenofthesea – wb

    Kim – wonderful that PT told your mom she can’t go home. You are a great daughter, even if she doesn’t think so

    Good morning ladies!

    Well my dad made a lunch date, so it will be tricky timing to get him to a doctor. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Stubborn *kitten* parents.
