I ought to keep a log of calls
Comments (11)My cat plastered herself over my not stitched part of my stomach the moment I came back from the hospital. I was to lay flat and not move for a couple of more days, except for some walking every couple of hours. She had never slept in my bed before. During chemo she was always there when I came back from treatment and to this day, if I don't feel well, she sleeps with me. Oh, she also was my excercise coach once I had to move more, by always wanting to get out of the door which was the furthest away from where I was and it always involved 2 sets of stairs. George, I am glad that you also have a nurse cat. Listen to her when she bosses you around....See MoreWhy do I keep having to log in?

Comments (25)I keep a journal using a spreadsheet. It's convenient because it's the same spreadsheet that I keep all my maps in. By maps, I mean the layout of the garden, Jiffy Greenhouse Pellet trays and so on. To add to the journal, I just click on the "Journal" tab and type away, then it's back to the maps for more tweaking. Here is a sample: 02/23/09 Completed all beds. Prepped planting areas for tomatoes away from the fence on the north side with compost and bone meal. Tilled leaves into east side of north bed. Spread tomato fertilizer over north bed. The only thing missing at this point is some mulch. Purchased an additional 10 bags, but it was not enough to completely cover the fabric. Moved plants indoors for the cold nights and back out in the morning. Forecast shows no more frost for the next 10 days. Will see what it says next weekend. May go ahead and plant out all non-tomato plants to free up space. 02/24/09 Potted all tomato plants that were in the Jiffy tray to Peat pots. Watered Jiffy Pellet Tray as pellets were drying out. Watered outdoor plants as well in tray. Set watering timer. It went off as scheduled and watered for the appropriate amount of time. I believe it went off between 9:00 and 10:00pm and watered for 15 minutes. It is set to do this every three nights. 02/26/09 Watered all plants. The plant on the right end of the window sill was looking weak. We'll see if the watering fixes it. Planted an MP in the ground. If the weather gets cold, this one will get the third WOW. 03/01/09 Plants that were outside on the tray were severely damaged by strong wind. Moved them to the window and moved the window plants to the tray. All plants were dry, especially garage plants. Deeply watered all plants. Left all plants indoors overnight due to cold. Still too cold to place them outside in morning, plan on moving them back outside in the afternoon. 03/03/09 Two of the three WOW's keep collapsing onto the plants. Drained and removed those two and hoping that there is no more frost. Watered all plants and planted another MP and CC into the ground. Planted second MP where a BK was planned before, but the spot planned for the second MP was not ready. Hope to plant more tomorrow....See MoreHow do you have an in-law live with you and keep your sanity?
Comments (46)This is the first time in a while I've had a chance to read through the more recent posts. I have to say my heart goes out to Melissa Stewart, who never did post again, sadly. My first impulse was to suggest putting a lock on the bedroom door! BTW, maifleur01's post of August 28, 2016 wasn't very clear to me. I think what she was saying was that AL facilities might be helpful to early/moderate dementia patients, but not all of them are willing to be moved there. This is very true. My MIL did not want to move. However, we did not give her a choice. She had lived with us for 7 yrs and it was stressing my DH's (her only child) health. The facility we found for her is a world away from the "just sitting in chairs" places. It is a 5-acre secure campus, complete with its own senior center and as mentioned before, a full schedule of activities every day. The regular routines and voluntary activities helped very much in slowing down the progression of her dementia. Her anxiety lessened, and she no longer needed the anti-depressants or BP bills either. She was the ideal candidate for a facility because she was very social but personally awkward at making friends (she felt it was being "pushy" and unladylike to be the instigator). The casual, regular social interactions enabled her to finally make new friends. This non-profit facility is the third-ranked of its type in the state. It has the lowest staff turnover percentage and one of the highest staff-to-resident ratios. The downside is, you need $$$ for this. Without exception we found the better quality full-care facilities did not take Medicaid patients. IF you passed the interview, had a signed evaluation of your mental/physical health from your doctor, and could claim sufficient financial assets for at least 5 yrs of rental expense, you could be accepted as a resident. In such case, as a current resident if you needed care in the future and ran out of funds, the facility can CHOOSE to apply for Medicaid on your behalf so you may continue to be a resident. Most non-profits will do this. Many for-profits, which unfortunately comprise the bulk of the industry and who are rapidly buying up existing non-profits when possible, do NOT do this. No funds = no residency. Always be sure, if you are looking for a facility for an elderly family member, that you make several visits, research their rankings (both federal and state inspections), and ask as many questions about "what if?" as you can. Just FYI, an article last week in the WS Journal on "We're running out of caregivers" said the average cost of a home health aide, full time (8 hr day) is now $49,000/yr. Remember if the aide is hired directly, you are also responsible for Social Security and other taxes, as an employer....See MoreRichard (Vero Beach, Florida)
