HAPPIER and healthier days!
I realize that in these golden old age days we have trouble making the right decisions.
Phoning the ambulance to take me to hospital was the right decision.
Leaving may not have been.
I am still not having any movement.
Maybe a lazy bowel.
I will try to talk to Dr. Nolte.
The emergency is not the right place.
I was worried about dad.
He loves to clean and he kept busy.
He also did the shopping.
If I go into hospital dad will need a caregiver.
He does not eat.
He forgets to take his pills.
He is up at night cleaning the bathroom.
He needs some one around.
He does not want this.
Maybe if family just phone and ask him if her has eaten
Sandra phones to make sure he takes his pills.
I am not sure what will happen today.
I am very weak and not hungry.
I am afraid the problem has not been found or treated right.
I feel I made the right decision to come home.
Pray for us to be able to make the right decisions.
Love You!

I am praying.
Much love, Cathy
So I hope you will let us all know when you do start to see real progress.
Dad is not the only one who forgets to eat, so do you.
Even if I ask Dad if he has taken his pills he says yes but then when I get there he hasn't.
We can no more force help on him then we can on you, even though you would both benfit from a little.
The hard work of getting old just keeps on going, but soon you will be over this hump.

I went and got tested for Covid, I've been feeling sick . The test came back negative. I will find someplace to get vaccinated on Monday. Melina and Jasmine still not too well. Melina starts her new job on Monday.
You really have to drink enough water Mom.

Thanks Cathy I am comforted to know you are praying.
Nancy I came hone because becaue they moved me into a hallway with promises of a bed.
I desperately need to be near a washroom. I need to use it. I ask for a comod. Promises again.
I have had no success yet.
Boy am I feeling crappy.
Larry feels like he is having kidney pain.
Thanks for the prayers/
Ken and Melina are unwell too.
I wish we could help/
Life can be though at times.
Keep in touch.
Love mom,
Awe, Beth, I feel so badly for you and especially for how callously you were treated. Really...putting you in a hall and you needing to have a comode and they didn't bring it?
You know, I went through a lot with Carl, many years of it and he was so ill and I found out that one has to be demanding and speak up. I am not inclined to be demanding at all, but boy I had to get really angry with a couple of doctors before we got action. I refused to take him home, from emergency and demanded he see a lung specialist and they did that and he was admitted.
So speak up...loudly!
So sorry you aren't having any action on the bowels...I don't want to scare you but Carl had the same problem and he ended up with sepsis of the bowel.
You do not want that Beth.
He had a big bowel surgery, they removed at alot of it and if he had lived he would have had to live with a bag. ( he didn't have cancer ) and they left the large incision open for a month and had to keep taking him back into the operating room to clean him out.
He died Beth. from the infection, so please do look after this, OK?
The bowel extracts a lot of water from our body and one needs to drink a lot. Maybe put a pitcher of water in the fridge with the ounces marked on it and find out how many cups a day you need to drink.
I am worried about you, as you can tell...so please let me know how things are, OK?
I pray for you all the time...for movement...and healing.
Big hugs and love to you both,
nancy
