Finally Friday!
 

Morning all!
Well, I learned my lesson yesterday. No more skimping on the water when taking meds.....ouch that reflux hurt. I caught a couple of extra hours of sleep after yesterday's post and felt better.
Today I am a hurting unit for some reason. My entire back hurts like the dickens and I am not sure why. Maybe I walked too much yesterday. I did my daily walk finally after days of rain and miserable weather. On top of that went to Walmart and picked up my meds. Unfortunately I had to wait for one that Todd wanted filled so that was 30 minutes of walking that was extra. Anyway, I ache.
I finally feel that I have been getting things done for some reason. For those who don't know. I used to be a voracious reader and I have books all over my living room. Well about 6 books have been sitting half read or have been put off for months. In the last two days, I finished 4 books and am working on my 5th. I LOVE it! Now I have 3 1/2 books to work through and I will be caught up. Silly acomplishment I know but it felt so good to finish the books. Now if I would only do the dishes in the sink.:D
Well, I have rambled on enough.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi Wendy~
 

Sorry your hurting!:hug: I just got back from the beauty shop. I got my hair cut today. Sure hope it stays warm out, for I got more choped off than usuall. Not sure what my plans are today. I got to pay some bills and I can't think behond that.

I hope your all having a good day. I may paint some after I go buy some good paint. I got enough of that to do, to keep me busy for a long time. I don't like to do it either. maybe I can come back in later. Oh, I did mean to tell you I have lost 3 pounds. I finally got on the scales and was I ever surprised. lol:winky:

Anne, I hope you have a better day today. I sure will be praying for you. Those doc's need a fire started under their hind side.:hug:

Nice day, but things aren't going so good~
 

I just got home from buying a lot of white paint. Mark my nephew just pulled in as I did, to let me know they are mowing my place tonight. I also had a note in my door from the DR office, asking me to call them. It was about my o'le farm neighbor that I have helped so some degree. As it turns out, she is memory impaired. Someone turned her in, a day or two ago as wondering in a store. Somehow they called her DR. and she is now in the Nursing Home. I feel so bad for her, as I know she won't want to be in there, when she realizes where she is. Her family just doesn't step up to the plate.

I haven't wanted to say much about her, but she is the one I took to the Dr and told them she was driving on the wrong side of the rode. My friends kept telling me about her, till I did make the first move. Then I took her for cat scans a week or two ago. I kept her here over night as they didn't want her to eat. Now, I don't feel so good about it, but somebody had to see about her. I am not her family tho. My Mom had these memory problems too, it just make me sick to know what she will go threw. I told the Dr I would go and see about her over the weekend. She will want to come home with me tho. Now what can I say to that? We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together & now her birthday is May 20 th.

It is bad being in a situation like this. I do care for her, but I can't bring her home with me, to live. Nobody ever wants to be put in a nursing home! What esle can I say? Sorry, I just had to vent.:eek:

dear billie,
this has happened because you care.
you are a good woman and took some steps that were needed to try to keep her safe.
that is what this is all about...keeping her safe.
this is what you must focus on is her safety. they have a full staff there to help take care of her there.....you could not do this for her by yourself.
Now you can visit anytime you feel like it.
Put on your emotional armour and be brave...you can do this. you really can and your have helped her even though I know this is hard on you.
((((HUGS))))

Billie...You are such a wonderful person! You are obviously a very caring person and the world needs more people like you! Looking out for other people is what the world should be all about and it is such a shame that this lady's family will not step up to the plate. In my 12 step group I sponser a couple women. I feel really good about being able to help these women in their recovery and tend to want to do everything I could possibly do to make their lives better, however I need to remember that I cannot do everything. Sometimes I have to lovingly detach from trying to do everything for them and let life unfold the way it is supposed to. It is really hard sometimes but I am getting better at it. I always pray for them and pray for the people that they come across in their lives to treat them well. I keep in touch and let them know how much I care by what I already do for them, and then I can take care of myself as well! All the best, Billie!!!
