up date on me....
Comments (28)Pam, Thanks for asking. This week has been uncomfortable, due to the humidity. I am no longer using the walker except in public. I still fear that I might fall or someone bump me. With out thinking I actually bent over and picked a tooth pick off the floor yesterday. Probably not the thing to do, but I was able to do it. We had a power outage yesterday and now my pc won't start. I am using the laptop, but can't get the outlook express to work on it. I need to call roadrunner, but keep putting it off because my brain is still a bit fuzzy from all the drugs and anesthetic. Or I am just lazy. I went to my son's for Father's day. I told him some FD, he had to drive 45 minutes to pick me up and then 45 back home. My grandson drove me home. It was his first time to drive this far, so I worried until I felt he was home and then called. He said , Yes, grandma, I got home ok." I guess he was a bit put out that I worried. I have to brag on him. His church youth group just got back from a week of working in New Orleans. They did the same thing over spring break....See MoreI am sick of being everyone's Mother...
Comments (15)Fairegold, as strange as it seems, your message was an encouragement to me. It's good to know others are dealing with similar issues. My 90 year old mother is in a lovely assisted living community. But every time I see her she has new complaints, especially about the food. Pork chops every day; no fresh vegetables, only canned; no spices; mashed potatoes, french, fries, potato chips; only chocolate for dessert...on and on it goes. Sometimes I just want to scream. But I don't. Instead I try to come up with ideas to "fix" things. But my fixes are never good enough. Anyhow, to you & the others who responded, as I said before, it's good to know there are others dealing with similar situations. Regarding your husband's hearing difficulties, I've worn hearing aids since I was in my mid thirties (I'm now 58). In fact, I got my newest pair about two months ago. They make such a difference in quality of life. And it's good for your husband to get them while he's still spry & able to adjust to new situations. My mother needs hearing aids, but I'm afraid that she won't make the adjustment & will end up not using them. The only adivce I can give (and, of course, you didn't ask for any) is that your husband make sure he gets his aids from a true audiologist, someone who will give him the best aid for his particular needs. Follow up is very important too. He should be able to see the audiologist every few weeks for almost six months, so adjustments can be made. He needs to tell his audiologist everything he notices -- a slight uncomfortable feeling, feedback problems, etc. Anything that concerns him. Nothing is too small. A good audiologist will make every attempt to correct problems. Under no circumstances should he just grit his teeth and bear it. (By the way, my new hearing aids have two microphones & are digital. They were expensive, but worth it.)...See MoreBrody's 2 month appt is today--?'s
Comments (14)I agree not to worry until told to. My oldest son was born at 36.4 weeks. He weighed 5lb 7.5oz at birth and was an apgar of 2! (not good) The only thing we think he suffered in is his growth spurts..he seems to always be behind on them, even now at 16. However, he is now 5' 10", wears a size 11.5 shoe and is just over 200lbs. He's due for one more large growth spurt..but it's slow coming. (I know you are thinking..does he need to grow anymore? lol..but yes..we think he'll top out at about 6'1"....See MoreDog experts, HELP please!
Comments (36)Thanks, everyone. She was happy to report a normal stool today! So that's good news. He'll be with me overnight so I'll be able to see for myself how he seems. I guess the cottage cheese didn't harm him! KSWL, she didn't send any of his regular food because she didn't want him to eat anything but rice and chicken (human food). I was able to do that and it seems it agreed with him. I suspect she'll do a vet check Monday when she's off work and have another stool sample to check for blood. It truly was a tiny amount, so I don't feel it's neglectful. She was available to me to get the vet info if necessary, or to have someone else take him if he seemed it was an emergency. Since he was so completely normal, once the diarrhea stopped, happy and eating, drinking, playing, I think it was ok to wait. Esp when I saw that vet's article about mouth cuts from grass. That was what I was mostly wondering about from other dog owners here. I'll keep a close eye on him. I so appreciate everyone's advice and concern....See More
