11/19/24 - Update On My Husband

LindaOH @LindaOHio (178568) • United States 19 Nov

My husband is still not calling me in the evening. Maybe it's due to the sundowners. I like to see how he is and how he's doing in physical therapy. My medical alert pendant has arrived; and we (my husband's 2nd cousin) will be...

Beautiful Day

Jim Bauer @porwest (90797) • United States 19 Nov

I have to say, this weather so far this fall has been more than welcome, having to barely keep the heat turned on, and having several days when I can open the windows and just let the fresh air in. Today is a day like that with...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (178568) • United States 17 Nov

Thank goodness. My husband called me at 11 pm last night. He's always hard to understand these days; but he sounded very lucid. He thinks he's going to be going home soon because he's doing so well. I doubt that's the...

Our Turkey Day Will Cometh Later

Jim Bauer @porwest (90797) • United States 18 Nov

Unlike normal people, and of course my family has never rightly ever been considered "normal people," we will have our Thanksgiving gathering on the 8th of December. Hey, we're not hosting, so we didn't set the date. But it is...

Lena Kovadlo Happy Veteran’s Day! Hope it was a good one. Would be nice if we stayed skinny all of our lives. Some are lucky in that department. I’m not one of them.

11/11/24 - Update On My Husband

LindaOH @LindaOHio (178568) • United States 11 Nov

I visited my husband yesterday. He seemed fine and only had a minute of confusion; so it looks like he has sundowners. His care is terrible. He still hasn't had a shower (he's been there 3 weeks); and he was lying on a soiled...

My failed mission to the Dollar Tree.

The Horse @TheHorse (218787) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Nov

The Dollar Tree near my house used to have thing like cortisone cream and el cheapo Benadryl. But I have not seen these important products the last couple of times I was there. I have an itchy patch on my left shoulder, and I...

Trump Wins!

Jim Bauer @porwest (90797) • United States 6 Nov

It Could Have Been a Beheading

Jim Bauer @porwest (90797) • United States 7 Nov

Lena Kovadlo First time voting ever. Did it early. Wasn’t a big crowd so that was good. Thought they’d ask for ID but I was told they are not allowed to do that. I have a feeling we won’t know the results for a while, like what happened in 2020.
