Debbie,

~~~~~~~

I had some get up and go yesterday, now it got up and went. Trying to find it again. Have some stuff I want to get done today. Ah well, at least the coffee is still here.

Take care everyone!

Morning all! Mom's Box B came yesterday from fedex. That means she only has half a recliner. LOL Box A is on the truck to be delivered today. Her laptop doesn't show that it's on the truck so she probably wont get that until later.

I got the dumb idea to run to McDonald's last night to get a milkshake. I was craving one. Well, that darn milkshake kept me up all night with tummy cramps. Sometimes milk does this to me, sometimes it doesn't. Ugh I am good today though!

Mom is still doing fine. We had a small tiff last night over her forgetting something but I just finally said I am not arguing with you and we went our separate ways. It actually worked! It was about some money she gave my sister and was claiming she wanted sis to send back what she didn't use. I was standing there when she told sis over the phone she could have $200. Nothing was mentioned about returning what was left over after groceries. As if anything would be. Sis has three kids and I am sure she used it all.

Anyway, I felt like she was calling me a liar and than I realized this battle wasn't worth it. We will be mindful of this if she pitches in for groceries to have her sign a receipt so we can prove we aren't taking money. Why is it in their older aging they get so suspicious? She even got mad her recliner wasn't fully here even though I told her several times it would come in two boxes. Please don't let me get that way! LOL She rode with me to McDonald's last night and it was like nothing happened. Whew.

Jenn, I hope you get your get up and go back today!

Debbie, so sorry your doctor confirmed Alzheimers. At least you know now and can make decisions for the future.

Have a good day everyone!

Good Morning! Another sunny and warm day here today. Well, low 50's but that's warm compared to where we were this time last week.

Sandy, when I was handling my Dad's finances for him I used to take his checkbook to him and show him exactly where his money was going. He never asked me to but I know he felt better when I showed him. That was the hardest job I ever did......managing someone else's money. Just the thought of one of my boys taking over my finances makes me nervous. Not that I don't trust them.....I just like doing it myself.

I'm changing my cable/internet/phone package today so I might be without service for a while until they get the change completed. I don't know what to expect but I'm still up and running now so all is well......for the moment. I'm going to get rid of my land line and just use my SafeLink wireless and downgrade my cable to just the bare bones basic. Internet will stay the same so maybe that won't be interrupted. The changes will save me about $70 a month so I have to do it.

Ya'll have a good Friday!

TGIF!!! Well, I have almost gotten through this first week. I only have one more class to go. And we get Monday off for MLK day. I plan on going to see Up in Air this weekend (George Clooney). Last night my lower leg started to go numb which really scared me. However, today the numbness has disappeared. Now if the stiffness would just loosen up a bit.

Debbie,

Hope you all have a decent weekend!

Hey all .. I had a wonderful LONG day yesterday ... but worth it .. now I'm recouping from it! LOL

Jenn - is it okay to have morning coffee in the afternoon?

lots to do today ... have a great day all you wonderful, precious friends!

I help her do her checkbook each week and check in online. The signed receipts will help her and us by showing her she signed off on it. This will avoid anymore confusion as to what her intentions were. I wish we didn't have to do this but her memory is not so good on certain things.

Good afternoon! I read and checked thanks on posts yesterday, was just not able to form complete thought to post. The antibiotic I am taking has kicked the UTI, so I'm not sure what has me feeling like leftover Christmas dinner. It is a sunny warm day here. Rain due later tonight. I spent about 15 minutes out in the sun earlier.

Sandy, I think older people get suspicious because they know they don't remember everything. Many of them have witnessed their friends or older relatives be taken advantage of. Has your mom had her blood sugar checked? As we get older it tends to go higher anyway. My mom's has and she gets very mean and ornery when she doesn't eat every 3 hours! As daddy use to say, she'd argue with a fence post til she gets her way.

Kelly, I hope they don't have your internet down too long! I'm lost when ours hiccups now and then. GLad you are warming up too... it helps on the heating costs! I have every curtain pushed back today grabbing that warm sun.

Barb, I hope the spasticity loosens up soon. I have one spot... my hamstring on the left that feels like just half the muscle tightening and having tremors. I look like a Weeble some days trying to walk.

Debbie, I'd glad you checked out ok at the doc. Sorry to hear the verdict on MIL. A thought about the lump on your abdomen...do you take Copaxone? I had golf ball size/shape lumps on mine the last 3 months I took those injections. Scared the GP when she was doing my pelvic exam! They were only on my ab, not the other shot locations. They went away after I switched to Betaseron.

VONN, WIZ, FIN, SOX, Hope every one is getting a little of this warm sunshine today!

Good afternoon, everybody...Happy Friday!!
Pam, I wonder if that's what it is...it's kind of low from where I usually inject on my tummy, since I have a hip-to-hip scar from surgery down low. But you could be right...
Ugh, I have been in such a low mood...I'm just trying to let my mind chill, along with the body. No energy to work out or try anything...and I'm so darn cold!! Is this a sxs? Whatever...that's what afghans and sweaters were invented for

DH wants to go to the boat show in Chicago this weekend. I want to not spend money on a boat...we need to get our kitchen cabinets replaced, along with our oven...it makes small "booms" when it's on My cabinets are 31 yrs. old, and definitely look it, esp after 4 kids and 2 dogs.

Sandy, your mom sounds like she's in mild (or more) cognitive impairment...do you notice wings growning out of your shoulder blades yet? 'Cause you're definitely an angel...

Hope everyone has a great weekend...

Good morning! I just finished cleaning out bedroom closet -- getting rid of clothes I have not worn for a few years or that have seen better days. Now I need to do my other closets. I also just ordered six books from amazon. I had a 30.00 gift card so they only cost me an additional 32.00 I need to do a few errands and may go to the movies later on this afternoon. My "good" leg (I guess it is all relative) is hurting this morning. I feel like I have twisted the lower leg while sleeping. Weird!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Morning everyone. Nothing planned for the day. I need to massage Jim's legs and give them a good stretch. Other than that, no big plans.

Barb, sorry about your leg. Hope it's better as you go about your day.

Have a good weekend everyone.
