@Veta2018 So sorry about your uncle! What a terrible thing to do to anyone, but especially evil when it’s an elderly person. I hope he can get a new scooter if that is what he wants. ☹️ @Katmary71 We do use a seated walker /transport chair in the house that I push him around in. He can’t use the walker portion because he…

@trooworld Oh my goodness, I am so sorry about your car! What a terrible thing for someone to do. Hopefully, the jewelry making will help distract you from all your stresses. ♥️ Good morning! Not much is going on around here other than trying to keep my man alive. Over the last couple of days, Joe has been experiencing…

@vegan4lyfe2012 I am sure that the reason they don’t want my sister is because of the money, but my idea was that the two deacons who count the money would put it in a sealed envelope. We will see what great alternative they come up with. 😀 I'm glad Sydney’s surgery went well. Awe, those seizures must be so scary! ☹️…

Wahoooo on being #1 this week!!! 😎🤩 @Katmary71 Joe and I used to go to a town about 30 minutes away that has a Del Webb community and tour their homes. I even stole a house design once when we were thinking about building our own home. We would have moved there if I had already been retired. Joe didn’t like it because he…

@AustinRuadhain , I always have to remind myself that my mom is doing exactly what she wants to do. I think sitting in my bedroom 24/7 sounds horrible, but to her it’s her happy place. To each their own, huh? 😁 Wow, a 10 K on the treadmill is fantastic! 😎 @Katmary71 I watch the Villages on TikTok. The videos of their…

@Katmary71 Thank you so very much for your kind words! You are such a dear friend, as many others on here have become. I’ve always been amazed at the power of the Internet to bring people together. Not only did it give me my Joe, but also some amazing Slimpossible friends! 😍 Ohh my that is so scary how sick Chewy got.…

@laurelfit57 We do have daycare here, too, but when Joe was doing better, he wasn’t interested in going, and now he is just too far gone. He has terrible aphasia, which means no one but me can understand what he is trying to say. I do have my sister who can watch him if I have to go somewhere for a short period. I just…

@micaroo4 Thank you! I always appreciate your insight, and you are so right in that my inner fat girl is a 5-year-old and LOVES cake for breakfast! I know there is no pressure from the group, and I so appreciate that. 🙂 @vegan4lyfe2012 thank you for your support. ♥️ OK, you need to put a post-it or something in your potty…

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks for telling me about PACE. I do think we have something like that, but Joe is too advanced in his dementia for me to leave him. The good thing about Joe is that he sleeps so much that I have several hours a day to do what I want. It’s how I get so many puzzles done. 😁 I’ve heard of Potty Squats, too!…

@Cornanda I so appreciate your wise advice! Yes, I need some help, and I’m hoping to get him on palliative care, which will turn into hospice. For all I know, he needs hospice now! I know we have progressed to the point where he needs skilled nursing, so that we can stop going to doctors. He has a port that requires…

@Katmary71 I’m glad that two of the girls have found a good home to go to! I had to laugh that, of course, the mushrooms are doing great now. Isn’t that the way of things! 😀 @laurelfit57 What a beautiful kitty, and I hope she and Vannie will be nice to each other while you are going. Have a good visit with your family. I…

@vegan4lyfe2012 I love that you found inspiration with your dental hygienist. I’ve had to cancel my last two cleanings because of Joe, and I miss my dental hygienist, whom I’ve had since I moved here 20 years ago. 🙂 @Katmary71 I admire your resolve not to keep all those kitties! 😀I don’t get nervous helping Joe stand up,…
-
@micaroo4 Ughhh I’m sorry you lost your computer! What an ordeal to have to deal with. But of course, you didn’t let it derail your self-care, so good for you!! 😎 @DrewsAnna Yayyy for Prime Day! What are you buying? I have a great-niece turning 5 in a couple of weeks, so my cart is full of little girl stuff! 😀…

@Katmary71 I am sending up prayers for the kitties to have no issues with their spay and neuter. I’m also praying for you and the drive, and that you can attend your class. It is interesting that you are using the micro current on the kittens and Asher. I can see how mushroom growing is real commitment and how stressful it…

@Katmary71 I can’t help but laugh as I picture you running around your house trying to scoop up those clever little escape artists! 😂 I hope you can come up with an idea on how to contain them. How long after they are fixed can they find their forever home? @trooworld It's hard to read about end-of-life care, but it needs…

@micarro4 I bought a vibration plate a few months ago . It helps a lot with circulation, and Rich can find all kinds of YouTube videos on different exercises he could do. I use mine mainly for a warm-up to loosen my muscles before rebounding or doing a lower-body dumbbell workout. It also really helps if I have a lot of…

@micaroo4 You explained my freaking out brain so well! I got a bed alarm that, if he gets up, the remote I have will light up and play a loud tune. It’s going to be a huge piece of mind and maybe keep me from unloading my fear all over my poor husband. 🙂 @vegan4lyfe2012 How wonderful that you get to enjoy the holiday with…

@Katmary71 Joe said the Fairlife was OK. Good enough for me! That's good news that the dentist can add another tooth to the partial. How long do you have to wait to get it? Hopefully, it will fit perfectly so you won’t have to deal with it any longer. 🙂 @baodell17724 I ’ve been a member of TOPS on and off for years, and…
-
@AustinRuadhain, I love all the names of your animals! And I must admit that I’ve never heard of someone having math as their hobby. I see math, and I instantly get out the calculator. 😀 I am sorry your grandmother had to be a caregiver to your grandfather. I never even thought about the toll it takes on the caregiver…

@vegan4lyfe2012 I love that picture, and what a wonderful world you live in! ❣️You do need to keep looking for an answer that will help your poor ankle. Are you sure you should be walking to the fireworks carrying a heavy kiddo? I will be hiding in my bedroom with a barking dog during the fireworks. 😀 @Katmary71 , I'm so…

@laurelfit57 Thank you for those kind words! 💓I’m so glad that the Agility match went well for you and that you and the dogs had fun! How great that you didn't get too anxious and want to go again. And next time, you will know more, so your brain may not be so exhausted. I’m glad the food sequencing is working for you. It…

@Cornanda, yes, I could get someone to come in and help me, but from what I've read they want a minimum of hours a week, and I don't like the idea of a stranger hanging out in my house. However, that day will probably come, and I need to figure everything out now. I did order a high-quality gait belt with handles to help…

@vegan4lyfe2012 It is scary that you can’t climb a flight of stairs without being out of breath and your heart racing. Chasing the dopamine has to stop! I’m right there with you, and we can support each other and end this year proud of ourselves. We can do it!! ♥️ @micaroo4 Your kitty is gorgeous !! 😍 @laurelfit57 I love…

@laurelfit57 Thank you for the exuberant hug! I needed it! 💗Most summers, the hottest we get is the high 90s and occasionally into the 100s. As we say in the South, it’s all about the humidity! High heat with 80% to 90% is miserable! I never understand people who like saunas. 😂 Yeah, we Baptists do like our potlucks, and…
-
@Cornanda Wow, that's an incredible art piece! 🤩 @trooworld Yes, my sister doesn’t tell me about the drama because she's protecting me. But she also wants to avoid my judgment of their poor choices, which I can appreciate, and would be happy to be kept in the dark, if they didn't come to me asking for money to fix their…

@Katmary71 Poor kitties and poor you, having to administer their medicine. Ugh, sorry about your pain patch. I hope your bone test appointment goes well. Getting a medical ride is a good idea so you don’t have to try to drive. I'm glad you had a good time with your friend. 🙂 @FushiaKat So happy you are enjoying your new…
