  • Hi Helen, yes you are right. My son comes back today or tomarrow. He is trying to keep rv running as it has sat for 2 yrs now so has some issue he will fix, i hope.....lol. My grandkids do poke their heads in once in a while, they are busy people though. Love you & {{HUGS}}
    Hi there Helen. It's true, I haven't been for tea in a while. I must drop in. I was sad to hear Barry had died though I guess not altogether surprised. He was the first to befriend me on the forum.
    Thanks for the love Helen...I am so involved that I cant step back a little...I need to go on the Tea Thread and just hang out and catch up with all my friends...too involved, but it keeps me fighting, and strong...and hopeful that something will change. Thanks for reaching out to me....love you :)
    Helen, I love you also and I hope you don't get trapped in the snowglobe with me.

    Hi Joni, that stinks! Do you have any help when you get sick with the hubby? Hope you're feeling better soon, and take zinc and vit c to make it go away quicker. Love you girl!
    Hey Helen, I have been really sick this week, sore throat, coughing, congestion, all the rest. Going to try and see the dr tomorrow. Hope you are doing good. You always stay so busy!
    Hi Helen,

    I am good. I told my mom she has to "limit" what she says to me. I got worked up alittle talking to a friend about my moms latest appoint and had a dr appoint and my bp was up alittle. My mom understands and ever since then she has been more supportive and she said not to worry about her just take care of myself first and the baby. I told not to even tell me if and when she is getting worse. I just want to accept her as who she is day to day even I know she is getting worse just don't like it when she brings it up to me especially about her dying and possibly this year. That's what she thinks anyways. She just wants to see the baby. I hope that its just talk. My dad is taking care of himself too. I try not to think too much about the future and thank God every day for what my mom still can do. But at times my mind wonders to what the future will hold.

    Thanks for the tip about the bed.
    Hi Jessie, good to hear from you about your Mom. Another question: how are YOU doing? Remember that you also need to take care of yourself as does your Dad, ok?

    If your Mom's arms are still relatively ok, I find to turn over that the bed slats in my headboard make it alot easier. I try to lay on my left side, flip my right leg over as best as I can, and grab the bedsheet if it's tucked in at the bottom, or the headboard to turn. I also have to remember to wedge my other elbow underneath me at the same time. Not easy, but have her give it a shot. My right leg is stronger than my left, so it depends on which side is the stronger one. If she doesn't have slats in her headboard, maybe you can get one of the assist belts and drape it around somehow to give her something for leverage besides your Dad.

    You can ask one of the moderators if they can delete those posts for you. Al hasn't been on for about a week, so check with RCharlton.
    Hi Helen!

    My mom is doing good. She goes this week for her lungs. She had her throat appoint and they suggest she drinks w her head down so it doesn't go in her wind pipe She is such a trooper! She tries to be as normal as possible but I know she gets tried quickly, part of it I think is because she still chooses to walk and it takes alot out of her and the other part is because she doesn't sleep good since she can't move side to side by herself so she has to wake my dad. I brought up a hospital bed but she said my dad wouldn't like it, but I know sooner or later she will need one and I told her to ask her dr about a scooter chair. She is still able to eat food. She has an appoint at the ALS clinic in the middle of March, I scared to know how much worse she got since she was there in Aug. Thanks for asking about her. How are you doing? How can I delete those posts from that guy? I never replied to him, thought he would be a spammer type person
