a day in the life

June 26, 2010 – 9:20 am

This may seem mean or it may seem funny. It’s neither. I spent all week trying to get Dad to fill the prescription for Zoloft we got last week from the doctor. I also needed him to get the 2009 tax information from the pharmacy and I couldn’t do that for him so I wrote [...]

on not having the answers

June 21, 2010 – 6:14 pm

Last Friday when I went to visit Mom, I started crying. I haven’t been able to stop since. Oh, it comes and goes. I’ve hardly slept because every time I close my eyes to try and sleep, I start crying again. It’s nothing new that’s happened. It’s frustration and anger and grief at the decline [...]

and…

And I don’t have cervical cancer either. Damn, I am so boring. No cancer, no brain tumors! My diabetes is under “superb” control per Dr. G&P. Nothing to complain about there! I have suddenly developed absurdly high LDL (bad) cholesterol for no apparent reason. Dr. G&P says it’s not my diet (the LDL has been [...]

so…

May 29, 2010 – 9:23 am

I know I haven’t been updating much lately and some people have let me know they’re concerned about that. I’m sorry. I don’t mean to worry anyone. Sometimes it seems I’m just talking to myself and I don’t think about the friends that drop by and wonder why I’ve stopped talking to myself. It’s been [...]

mother’s day

May 9, 2010 – 9:28 pm

I just couldn’t face Mother’s Day this year. Actually, I gave her a Mother’s Day card and a bracelet a couple weeks ago when I wasn’t sure she would be here. I love her, I will always love her. But I just couldn’t be there today. I will be there tomorrow. I’m going to take [...]

police update

May 5, 2010 – 3:26 pm

How about this? Two posts in one day. At the beginning of April, Mom was attacked by two members of the family of another resident. I spoke with Detective Boyd today of the Cassville Police Department and they have gotten these two people identified and charges are being filed. It took a while because the [...]

the way it is

May 5, 2010 – 10:07 am

Hi there blog, remember me? There’s so much going on and I don’t seem to have a lot of extra energy to blog about it. Still, I know a few people check in here and deserve an update. First, Mom is doing a little better. On the Saturday after I last posted, we received a [...]

waiting

April 23, 2010 – 10:35 am

Mom returned to the nursing home yesterday. She had been sedated while in the hospital since she was fighting to get out of bed. When she was transferred yesterday, we thought she had been sedated for the trip. Now we’re not so sure. There has been no change over night, she appears to be sort [...]

bonk

April 19, 2010 – 7:06 pm

It certainly is Monday. We got woken up with the news that Mom had fallen at breakfast and hit her head pretty hard. Dad headed (slowly, apparently) up to Monett’s hospital while I got up and around. The hospital called me before he got there to ask where we wanted her transfered as they wanted [...]

the other stuff going on in my life

April 4, 2010 – 7:48 pm

Yeah, it’s not all about the eating and not eating and obsessing about eating and not eating! Sometimes it sure seems that way, though. This past week we had an incident with Mom at the nursing home. One of the aides told me that she was helping another resident when Mom yelled and when she [...]
