I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I got pot leaf cookies cutters from someone, and little bro told mommy I have a weed business. 😂.
True but not true, I make Carmel, and sell them really cheep to a few good friends, absolutely nothing illegal.
The thing is the only one it hurts is mom, and that sucks
My mom needs support group caring for her elderly mom.
Is there a zoom meeting anyone can recommend?
Thank you
Brother will be going home tomorrow with 2 shiny new stents in his arteries. Blood flow has been restored and he’s doing fine. No news yet as to whether there was much heart muscle damage. Time will tell.
DH has been mostly lucid all day although he did ask me how much I was getting paid to put him in AL. Hah; some joke.
Eva, wrong thread but how is your husband today - are they getting his pain under control? I’m sorry this is going to be such a difficult holiday season for you two.
Nacy, I hope your guy is feeling well enough to enjoy Christmas Eve.
Golden, I’m so glad R made it through the awful headaches and I hope you both have a lovely Christmas.
Ali and Llama, sending blessings……
To all the whiners on this thread, I wish you peace and joy this holiday season, and on we all go, until we don’t.
I am so sorry about your hubby. Hope he gets better as I recall you have cruise planned.
Psue,
I am going to quote Golden, life is a B***h.
Too much for you to take for sure.
Hope Mom and brother will be well.
Hubby will adjust eventually. Takes at least two weeks or so, but I know it is hard on you.
This is not good month or year for most!
Psue - Sometimes life's a b****h and it sounds like that for you. Emergency stents sound scary. Hope your mom recovers quickly, and bro too. I know that's not in the books for dh. I am sorry his first visit did not go well, but doubt that indicates how well he will do when he is settled there. But for you that's too much. Ex wife or whoever can give you a shoulder to cry on - doesn't matter. Lean on who you need to, ((((((Hugs)))).
Your phone call with the x wife is very very sweet. Look at Demi Moore and how she helps out with Bruce Willis.

So good to hear R is doing better!
Yes, and I was confident that I would find an answer here. Safety pins didn't sound too good for socks, but clips did. I have a compression sock aid that helps me put them on. I fold them inside out over this half tube, press it down some, and then point my foot to place my foot in that hole. I pull up on the two sides of the aid, and when I remember to spray my legs or use baby powder, the socks slide right on.
I think I finally got hubby to accept the fact that when he gets the sniffles, he has to test for the flu and covid, ASAP and get on anti viral meds. I'm going to have to keep reminding him, when he is healthy, so I don't get issues when he is sick and grumpy.
They sell flu and covid test kits now, more expensive but, what else is new
Thanks for the clips idea. I found our small metal ones and they worked. Now, I can put them on much easier!
Way I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope the drs find some meds that help her. There is not much more that can be done. I know it's hard to hear her anger and blame. Please look after yourself and don't get too weighed down by this. It is out of your hands. (((((((hugs)))))
Ali - I used to use nail polish on panty hose too. Don't think I have used it for anything else but it is a good idea.
Psue - I am with you!
nacy - she pretty well did her own thing anyway didn't she?
TB welcome. Glad you are getting your mom into a facility. Caregiving often falls in one person's shoulders.
I'm still not sick! 😁. Hubby definitely has some recovery to do now, much much better but it's gonna take him a bit longer than he thinks to be 100 percent. Coughed a lot during the night so he got up so I could sleep. But he slept for like 48 hours straight, so it was my turn last night.
