Just need to talk to my friends (200)

Good morning

Good morning,

Hope everyone is feeling better this morning. I say a prayer for you each day.

Today is "take the RV to the Shop" day. DH drives and I follow. The AC seems off and DH wants it checked. I'm trying to get us away for a few days around Thanksgiving. That depends upon DH finishing the fencing he has been working on. Hard to make any reservations until he can tell me it's OK.

Shopping with the Grands was fun. And exhausting. This weekend is the Great grand's birthday celebration, but it will be small. They just got home from Disney and that was her "birthday present". Of course, she's only 5 turning 6 so I doubt that will make sense to her so a little party is what we are doing. I got her a comfy Mermaid Tail to snuggle in on the couch, a pair of Juicy Couture pajamas (all in shades of pink), a Hello Kitty backpack/purse and a card with $ in it for more shopping. She is currently enamored with "The Miraculous Ladybug" so that is the party theme. And I am on the hunt for ladybug wrapping paper.

Haven't used the new stove yet since I had made a crockpot roast with enough for 2 days of meals. Making a quiche today. That's quick and easy. DH made his breakfast on the grill yesterday. I asked him why the grill and he replied "I'm not going to be the first to use that new stove!". lol

Well, time to get up and get going, Have the best day you can. ❤️

Goodmorning, on way to senior center for a pop up breakfast coffee and juice and potatoes and an egg sandwich.

Later going to the dentist to my stitches removed from my broken tooth.

off to the museum,,,

Yellow mustard helps wasp stings. Just smear it on when you're stung

I dont blame you Carl. Yellow mustard interesting, now if i just can remember.

Eagle last year i got into a yellow jacket nest. I didnt know what to do. Thought Im going to roll in grass. Thats what i did and i did get away from them. Hope you are feeling better by now.

Been windy here the past couple of days too Lorita but cool.

Had an interesting day. Neurologist said mom has multi vascular ???, cant remember rest yesterday. He said Im not saying she has vascular dementia but that it means she could develop it. He said testing is done as outpatient at baseline. Thats not happening and doesn't matter.

This is fourth day mom has not got out of bed. Yes she is getting weaker. She eats good though. she is very alert even with pain medicine. She cant raise either leg off of bed now. When I left this evening she was starting to c/o thigh pain. They are calling in a podiatrist and think they are rechecking for fracture. She said they may be ordering an MRI to make sure infection hasn't gone to bone. They are going to order PT&OT. That will be interesting. Doctor thinks may be some drama. Im not sure but know it is possible. Psychiatrist was in and she said today mom is competent to make her own medical decisions. She said if she can’t walk when discharged and refuses to go to LTC then that she will be incompetent and i can sign as POA. Im thankful my sister was insistent on psychiatrist being consulted. Case manager called me and said this is written by psychiatrist in chart. I gave her our choices for these facilities. They are all in a small town about a 15-20 minute drive for my sister and will be a 30-40 minute drive for me. Our first two choices are very nice my sister said. The last one not as nice. If we have to go with third choice then we will probably put her on waiting list for one of other two.

One of my sons was stung, about 40 years ago, and an old man who was working at the house said to use mustard. We smeared it on and it stopped the pain almost immediately. It's kind of like using vanilla extract on a burn. I don't know why they work, but they do.

My wife and I are making a point of driving by the cemetery on the hilltop every day. It's planted with red maple and a few other trees, and it is gorgeous this time of year. But the wind is blowing the leaves away, and it will all be gone very soon.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, for time is swiftly flying.

Good morning

Iris they have thise things on your legs that massage them.

Good morning. I finally slept all night, eight hours, after a prolonged coughing spell that including vomiting. I don't feel congested this morning. I'm going to the pet crematorium to pick up Simon's ashes today. I have a lot of things to do on my To Do list, but I still feel a bit sluggish after being in bed for about ten days. Well, onward and upward!

Beth, I am using the CVS brand of MucinexDM, which contains dextromethorphan and guaifenesin, but no acetaminophen. The honey really did not help at all.

Lorita, I live just outside Springfield, Missouri. We're having a drought and getting winds of 20-40 MPH. North of me is farmland, former prairie. South is the Mark Twain National Forest, which contains a billion tons of fuel for a forest fire. We've had one little rain in a month, about enough to settle the dust on the gravel roads. I'm very ready for autumn weather and rain.
