Ms. Madge,
That doesn't sound safe to live that way. It is good you have the presence of mind to provide Mom private caregivers.
What do you think aout a residential care facility near your home? An RCCFE, think they are called a six-pack often, because they take six people.

Does anyone think I am too old to go knock on my neighbor's door, say 'trick or treat?'. I wouldn't need a costume.

Too bad Halloween is over...it is such fun. Some of the staff was even dressed up when I had my eye surgery yesterday, and that helped relieve some of the pre-op anxiety. Then I watched a little bit of some old horror films from the 60's when I got home to bed, not too much. It was nice to hear too, that the staff's children had so much fun at their Halloween parties. I saw some incredible costumes this year.

Ms madge .I see the same. Also I see pts wandering drinking from others cups looking for something to drink. As several actually quite a few. Have ended up in shelter St Vincent where I was advocating and assessing needs, waiting for him to come out of hospital or on break from being at hospital w him. So several know or called in for more needs to dir. for dcf. I see why dehydration is a problem. I always checked made sure, I cann't see someone going three hours or more without a drink. esp. like in what I see called memory unit. I don't understand the part of the unit memory. Guess it suspose Lack.
Meet several people that have the same questions assuming as with stroke etc. that also are in unit. Representation as place where improve memory lost disorder. I don't see this. I saw recreation bring in stuff and halloween table cloth. they ones I know used to help clear tables kelt trying to rool plastic halloween table cover up it was to color on. Never got that far. After a few days the decorations were put up.
They like the snacks better.maybe just the dry erase markers with taped down designs.
He cann't hardly use his hands been so broke up one side then other thought he would get rehab. They keep saying will check out but Therapy says he doesn't have orders. He came with orders to evaluate and go from good from hospital to good in first nsg. hm to fair in memory nsg facility. That doesnt make sense. He's there because of encelopathy and hepatic encelopathy from Thiamin def. you'd think if they want rid of him so bad they would give him the Thiamine Vital high protien ordered. Instead of me having to tote it in.

Date and I disagree on much about American politics, but it's not a horrible, hateful thing. I appreciate the discussion and he says I'm the first opposition supporter he respects. Well. He's sleeping - at my request - in my grandmother's room, and I'm in the middle room, and we'll go see Game 7 tonight. All around -- it's a lot of fun, very positive for me, I'm grateful. Glad to have someone to tell it all to. lol

You guys ... are the ones I "tell it all to"... just to clarify... lol !! I'm dating again! This is good! I likely won't find lasting love in a few dates, but it's great practice, and I'm grateful. I think this is going well.

Good morning everybody. Hope everyone has a good day today. I am trying to get used to the fact I can see distance out of the repaired eye now, right eye needs contact for distance, and I have to have those drugstore reading glasses, which are rather fun as they come in various styles and colors. I used to just pop on my regular glasses and see near and far, but for the left eye which was like looking through sheets of plastic or a cloudy water glass. Now that eye sees but the right needs a lens of some sort as always. I still cannot read through the left from the retinal detachment damage but otherwise see ok. Letters run together when i look directly at them with that eye. I have those readers everywhere throughout the house, in purse, in car, and keep one pair on a cord around my neck. I guess it will take some getting used to. I don't need glasses anymore, but for the readers and I feel funny without them all day. Guess it will take time getting used to this...Right now I am typing with my old glasses and an eye patch I have to wear to sleep for one week.
Thanks for letting me vent about my eyes.Take care of your eyes and don't take sight for granted! I hope everyone has a good day today!

That's super news Katie! I can't imagine life without glasses, how long had you been wearing them?

Katie...Be careful with your precious eye.I bet you worry about rolling over in the night and sleeping on it,and for a whole week in that patch.My Mother who was very theatrical and funny didn't have any normal readers,but everyone of Mother's glasses had rhinestones and she had lots of colors and styles and along with her hair,she received many compliments on both.Do you have any with rhinestones?Or different colors? Hope you are having a good day too....

Biggest baseball game of my life happening right now. The Cubs went down 1-3 in the World Series, it's very unlikely for a team to come back to force a game 7. But here we are. It's exciting but I'm honestly worn out! It's over tonight. If the Cubs can win, it will be an amazing, amazing thing. It's bottom of 3rd and tied up 1-1, but Cleveland has runners on base...
