    Good morning, Shiela I was out already cause Michael had to go to the dentist and went to walmart to get yarn....I canceled my appt cause I was sick, but went out for his, whatever, thank goodness it is like 50 out....

    Ducky thanks for checkin in...have fun with GD...I have to watch mine tonight...

    Meece glad that you feel like your DS wants to spend time with you, that is the hardest when the boys grow up and don't want or need mom.....and you have to watch the dIL and the jealousy that may be there...I think I told you that my friends son's wife told him to pick either mother or wife, he picked wife and it has been 6 years since they have spoken, he has 2 kids 1 of which she has not met.....actually tho he texted her this christmas saying merry christmas....not sure if the wife knows and it is the same friend that her husband was having an affair 20 of the 40 years they were together...left her and moved in the the gf...and is still with her......anyway friend and son were extremely close and wifey hated it....big time...

    I think that is an issue with new DIL.  I think she's jealous and knows she has the upper hand now.

    I brought the veggie store home with me.....

    You name it I have it.....Now I feel content with my fridge....I even found a small size papayas like a pound or so.......lalalalalalalalala Wink

    Sorry i hope nobody takes this in a wrong way....Innocent

    Once I had a MIL living with us in a 1 bedroom apt for 2 years.......

    I know she didn't like me because I wasn't good enough for her son and I disliked her the same way

    She came in our bed couple of times...pulled herself in and sat next to her son.....thought it was funny......I didn' find any humor in it........

    No this wasn't jealosy...Just unappropriate.....

    She is gone for long time...RIP........

    And also I have been told after all he was her son and what was I The gardener.......

    I never got any respect and wherever we went she followed us.....instead of saying just once

    "you go and I'll watch the baby instead she said once you have a baby you stay home

    So mother and son went visitings and I chose to stay home with the baby...

    THE END

    I don't have a problem with my MIL.  It's my husband that doesn't like me...  well, not enough anyway...  :(

    I would say my mother was maybe a tiny bit better cognitively today, but still not good.  Didn't seem to remember much from one thing to the next.  She'd tell us to be quiet or shut up or leave her alone and then next second she'd be asking us to do something for her.  She did say she was sorry once. I said for what?  She said for being mean.  She was friendly to the nurses and joked a little with them.  So at those times, she had her personality back.  My doctor friend said the "delirium" can last a couple weeks.  I'm hoping that's what it is and it goes away.

    Glad you are feeling better, Meece.

    Hope you don't catch what your granddaughter has, Ducky. 

    Glad you got your bed all made up nice and new, Sheila.

    Isn't that the life of a mom?  You cancel your stuff, but make sure everyone else's gets done.  Hope you feel better soon.

    How are you doing, Linda?  All the sickness is gone, I hope.

    Joan, are you feeling better?

    Hope you are doing well, Diane.

    Oh Linda....Christine had that done few months ago....She said she was in so much pain for few days

    Fill the RX even if he doesn't use it........I feel for him...

    Chris....Refresh my memory what caused your mother's condition?

    Hope it goes smoothly for DS and he has minimal pain, Linda.

    I don't even know what caused her condition. She was fine at 8pm New Year's Eve and by 10pm she was incoherent, unable to finish a sentence.  When the EMT's came, they took her temp and it was 103.8.  She hadn't complained of being sick at all, so my father hadn't taken her temp. She does have memory problems.  Wasn't sure if she had Alzheimer's or what - she has been refusing to go to the doctor for many years. 

    Because of the way she was acting, they thought she was septic, but later, blood cultures came back clear.  But they had started heavy duty antibiotics and kept her on them since she had a high fever.  Also, they thought they saw a touch of pneumonia also, but the Dr didn't think that was causing her to be so sick.   First urine culture was negative, but then a second was positive - don't know why that was.  She did have a catheter put in, but Dr said she wouldn't have gotten an infection from that that fast.  When they did the cystoscope (sp?) her bladder was inflamed.  But still - that could have been from the catheter, in my opinion.  She hadn't had symptoms of a bladder infection at home to my knowledge.  But who knows.  Maybe she did have one.  UTI's can cause delirium, I guess.  When my MIL had her stroke, before they knew it was a stroke, they said her behavior could have been from a UTI. 

    Now they are concerned about c-diff.  We'll never know whether she really needed major antibiotics and if she ends up with c-diff because of them, I will be pissed.

    Oh Chris, so sorry things are rough for you and your mom.  Be strong since you know that something is causing her to behave this way.  She's not purposely being mean.

    Sleep well on your honeymoon, Sheila.

    Good luck Linda - remember no straws for a week so he does't get dry socket.

    Chris - I am sorry you are going through all this with your mom.  Shake things up with DH.

    Hugs and kisses to my clean friend with the dirty mind (Sheila)

    Meece - once they know they have the upper hand, it is the pits as I well know.  Tonight I was reading Shelby her new book called "My Friends and Family" - only one person's picture wasn't included.  Any idea who?

    Sandy - so glad you are up and about!

    I must still have chemo brain - I can't even remember all the comments to the rest of you that I had in mind.

    Got the results of my thyroid scan today - nodes as expected but nothing of concern.  Off to the next doc to investigate auto-immune issues.  So fun.

    Hi everyone!

    So many things on my mind right now. Is it a let-down from Christmas? Or life itself?? I don't know......

    Here's a conversation between my Granddaughter & me the day before I was to leave to come back home after having been with her & DD, SIL & Grandson over Christmas:

    ( ~ Granddaughter will be six yrs old in two months.)

    Granddaughter to me as she leads me into her bedroom: "Grandma, come with me. I have to tell you something. It's very, very important. No, ******, (her little brother), you can't come in. It's private."

    She shuts the door on him & he was fine with that. (I thought he'd scream bloody-murder, but he didn't!)

    "Sit here, Grandma." as she points to her bed.

    GrandD: "Okay. I have something very important to tell you. This is very serious."

    ~~~"I don't want you to go home tomorrow."

    ~~~~~~

    Aw, what a sweetheart she is......she melts my heart. Innocent

    Meecie ~ I know just how you felt with your little Grandson. And the pictures of him are beautiful. And how sweet is that with him going to the room you'd stayed in & calling for you after you'd gone....

    Chris ~ I hope your Mother improves each day. What an ordeal.

    Sandy ~ I hope you are feeling better than earlier in the day. I appreciate your MIA alert, very much.

    Joan, Linda, Diane, ducky ~ Always the best to you.

    My Christmas with the grandchildren was beautiful. Mass was beautiful with the children's choir singing. I love their Church, so beautiful. I hope everyone's holiday was wonderful.

    Meecie, I so wish I could see my grandbabies more often ... I am more calm when around them. The pressures of (adult) life are non-existent in their small contained world. And they say exactly what they are thinking!

    While walking into St. Peter Cathedral for Christmas Eve Mass, my Grandson (age 4.5 yrs) with his tie & vest looking so handsome, was walking just in front of me with his Momma. He turned his head & said something to me but I didn't hear him - due to the wind  blowing & the crunch of the snow underfoot - I said, "What did you say, honey?" He said, "I love you, Grandma." Omg, right out of the blue. Angels ........ that's what grandchildren are. Innocent

    Sheila, I meant to say Hello to you separately last night, but my brain left me - to where I have NO idea - shut down the computer & went to bed. I bet your new comforter/shams look lovely, so comfy. Hope you had a beautiful Christmas. ♥

    So hard to keep up with everyone here.
    Went for double blood tests today for cardio and digestive drs.  I left my scrips in my office, drove there 35 minutes first, found them, got in car, drove a little; realized i had left them again in my office by my phone.  I was using my office phone quickly because my cell phone wasn't showing up in my bag so I called myself....it wasn't with me...i left that home....drove back to office again.  Was late for my appointment, and spent half the day doing the lab work.  Anybody ever do this stuff, or am I alone here?

    Meece, Patch is scrumptious.  I had vague back pain and my DH kept saying "I don't like this pain you have"....speaking from his fears....I ended up having to reassure him....it went away on its own.
    Val, what a precious moment with your grandaughter...I hate to leave mine but they are only 2 hours if I feel like driving over 2 bridges through NYC to NJ or CT.  I have had moments of such joy with them.  My daughters are good about talking about us when we are not there so we are remembered. My youngest likes to call me on the phone all the time...(they call me "Mamaw")
    I missed her 2nd BD party this past week end because I was sick.  :-(
    I made a computer movie of her first 2 years of life while I was sick in bed Saturday...now I have to do one for her 5 year old sister....a lot more years! 

    Am feeling better....only person at work...no classes....very hard to focus on work.  No complaints, though!
    Chris, I hope your mom has a good day today.  It is very draining to have family in hospital or sick.  Take good care of yourself. 
    I'll check in later...

    Yes, Joan, I have many days like that.  If you looked at my cell phone's call log, you would see how many calls come from "home".  Thats me calling myself to find the damn phone!  Sometimes its in the car, sometimes my back pocket!
