Visited hubby today.... and ( shaking my head ) he didn't lie when he told me in the morning that he thought he was going backwards. :0( It was like watching a feeble old man as I watched him fixate on things ( like his buzzer ) and unsnap it from his shirt and look at it and move it this way and that ever so slowly like he was trying to figure out what it was. sigh! I would tell him what it was and snap it back on his shirt pocket and he would do the same thing over and over.
When it came to eat supper it was touch and feel again. Michelle came right after I did and saw the way he was. Dad that's a sandwich. Dad that's your dessert. He'd feel and look perplexed over and over. Was eating his tuna sandwich with a fork. Took the sandwich apart and was eating just the side which was PLAIN BREAD. Michelle would show him it was much easier to eat it with the two slices together. NOPE..insisted he always ate his sandwiches with a FORK. OMG!
I brought a Power of Attorney form with me. They have no Notary there. Gave me the number of one they use often to call to come in, but she doesn't work weekends.
Hell....I don't think anyone would have believed he knew what he was doing anyway. sighhhhhhhh!
Not too long after I came a nurses aide brought in a new urinal to catch a clean specimen in the next time he urinated to have it tested for a UTI. I left almost 3 hours later and asked him right before I left if he had to use it. Negative. Also.....I mentioned to someone at the nurses station on his wing that he hadn't gone yet. Something to the effect of them having to force liquids on him was mentioned to me.
Came home ......when I left I had Jill, her middle son Gil and Tracie inside( oh and grandson Trevor ) My Cheryl and Tracie's brother Marty out at the pool, Randy working on the other side yard putting up fencing and the W.B. had just pulled in the driveway. Logan and a friend had just got out of the pool and went with his dad to spend the weekend at his other grandparents up at their beach house in Hampton Beach.
I had a FULL HOUSE the entire day. I shit you not!
I spent half the day on the phone it seemed. My son in FL was ......through the Miracle of Technology working in my computer here in MA and I had the phone to my ear as I watched him operate my computer. :0) He got a Durable Power of Attorney form up and filled it in and all I had to do was Print It. All for naught today, BUT he tried to be of HELP.
Okay ....so where was I ???? FINALLY everyone leaves except for Tracie and Jill and the W.B. whom left as we did. Jill said she wouldn't be out long as she has to be up to get ready to work at 7 a.m.
BIG COOKOUT ....everything from SOUP TO NUTS.
Tracie and I are headed the same way they were.THEY pulled into the Moose Hall parking lot and we continued on to Khols. This was around 7:15 p.m. mind you. From Kohls , Tracie wanted to eat at Boston Market which is just a few hundred yards from the Rehab where hubby is. I decided after we ate to go check on him. It was 9:15 p.m. He was sound asleep ......and that new urinal was....Still unused.
I went to the nurses station and his nurse gives me the line that she has to check with his aide to see what time she brought it to his room. I let her know that it was brought into him just after 4 p.m. and it's NOW 9:30 . I'll have someone go wake him and stand him up to use the urinal she said. To which I replied that THIS WAS NOT GOOD. He is declining and that is what happens when he has an infection like a UTI.
He has complained of stomach pain the past two days too.
This brings me to NOW... It's a few minutes of eleven and I am going to bed.
Jill is STILL not home..... Guess her and my idea of time are two DIFFERENT things. I shit you not!
Saturday.....
Heard Jill come in......could have been midnight. ??? I know I tossed and turned for some time before I heard her.
I woke a few times during the night with my aches ...would shift positions and fall right back to sleep.
Sometime around 6 I decided I had had enough of....bed. I won't mention the dog shit pile in the diningroom that I cleaned up. LIKE...Who did it and ran?????? Began to make my coffee and someone behind me came out of Jill's bedroom to go use the bathroom. YEP....you guessed it. The Whine Bucket. I hope the efffin two of them have pounding heads at work today. I shit you not!
It's minutes after 7 a.m. and I still haven't poured my first cup of coffee. Been musing....remembering a small part of a dream, reading blogs, commenting, watching the clock as to wishing it was more like 8 so I could call hubby and see how he is doing and have let the LEAD settle in my ass! Now how lazy is that ????? :0(
The afore mentioned two are probably wishing the clock would STOP as they have to be at work at 8. He at the firestation and her prepping food for a cookout and later ....serve it and grille foods. .
It will be just me, MYSELF and I until Randy comes later to continue working making repairs and improvements. :0)
An after thought......Tracie didn't come in when she dropped me off around 9:45 ish last night. :0)
I told her as we were eating I was heading STRAIGHT TO BED and she actually LISTENED.
Okay, I'm going to rise and let the blood go down to my feet as.... it's settled in my arse. COFFEE!!!
Called hubby at 7:45 a.m. and his voice sounded STRONG!
Almost got hopeful until he told me he fell out of bed last night......orrrrrrrrrrr was it the night before.
Long story short....I called the nurses station. It was NOT HE, but Ira his room mate that fell last night.
I called him back to tell him and he said he kept hearing "get up", and his legs hurt bad so he thought it was him. sigh! He told me that he just heard someone say to Ira...your nose is bleeding again. He is a small frail man and is tube fed. His bed has a sign that says to keep him at a 45 degree angle at all times.
Did I mention that I am on my second piece of pie this morning. The first was apple and now I'm eating the last piece of blueberry pie. :0( Neither one can be HEALTHY FOOD STUFF! I shit you not!
Hubby told me he had "the runs" last night and the nurse said not that she was aware of. Maybe she is the daytime nurse and didn't look at his records and maybe he has it confused with the night before last.
They DID send out his urine sample this morning. :0) Asked when he got his pain med and it was a half hour before my call so it hadn't kicked in yet. He was IN PAIN so I thought I'd ask and called him back to let him know it was Ira that fell and he did get his pain med.
Went into Office Word earlier and typed out all my questions to this W.C. attorney nice and neat from the scribbled notes I have been making. :0) To be quite frank.....II don't care if I piss him off!
I WILL HAVE Jill's divorce attorney Roland do the DPOA Monday if hubby is cognitive. IF is the Key Word!
Like I said, he sounds good this morning . His voice is strong and he even joked with me about coming there earlier today. :0) Any way..........I'll play it by ear and go there before noon Monday to see how he is.
Now it's ten thirty and I have probably had all the quiet time I am going to have today. Had the washer and dryer running, but they didn't interrupt me or my train of thought. :0)
OH! When I mentioned this morning that I thought they would be in earlier.... I was told that was their intention , BUT Lisa was playing Karaoke ( she worked her son Ryan's wedding ) and no one was participating. It was Paul P's birthday and IF THE W.B. didn't sing to the songs....it would have been a lousy night for her. The W.B. loves karaoke... I shit you not!
Whatever floats their boat ! Like i said I hope They BOTH SUFFER today.
Time to stop making excuses not to do anything around here, BUT it is sooooooooooooo peaceful that I just want to go lie on my bed and be alone with my thoughts.
Going to take the phone off the hook and hope son Randy comes after noon time.
It's almost 11 a.m. Just give me ONE HOUR!!!
That's All Folks!

D D What in Heavens name...possessed me?
All it took was a knock on my door with some guy saying....we were cutting trees down on your street and we could take down that spruce for a good price. $450
We carted that blue spruce home in 1976 from a nursery we passed by in Canton, MA in our LDT station wagon and it grew and Grew and GREW!
We don't get alot of high winds, BUT WHEN WE DO ....I worried that it would come through the house. Those tree roots don't run deep.
Told this man I needed branches off the maple in front that hung over the driveway and we had A DEAL!
Funeral ceremony will be tody when they pick up the logs and grind the stump down.
Haven't breathed a word to hubby.
Let's see if he notices it when I bring him home next week. UT OH!!!!
My neighbor Glenn across the street had his smaller blue spruce cut down the day before me and I THOUGHT HE WAS NUTS! I shit you not!
Funny how a day changes things.....................................
Hubby wasn't feeling good all day yesterday. His vitals were good. When i asked at 6 when he last got his pain med the nurse looked in her book.....9 A.M.
WTF!
Okay...I know As Needed means you have to ask for it. He has no conception of time and is in pain even with the med, BUT the level of pain is different. If they gave him JUST ONE pain med every 6 hours he would more than likely only need 1 pain med. The level of pain is so high when he finally gets one TAKES TWO.
This morning he told me he had the shits all night long. He said he feels like he is going backwards NOW.
I myself noticed that when i saw him last night. Waking yesterday morning and having no idea where he was at that time...can't be a good sign. I shit you not!
Once Jill got home from work I asked her to call her divorce attorney ( whom she is on a friendly basis with ) and ask him if he does Durable Power of Attorney's.
She called this morning and left a voice message. He called when he got to his office and is in court all day today. She set up an appointment for Monday and he will meet with us at the Rehab at 1 a.m. Monday.
Some days I feel like it's a race against the clock before he declines back to where he was and other times I think he is going to get back to the health he was in before his first hospital stay in February of this year.
Hearing him say that he feels he is beginning to go backwards....isn't comforting.
FUCK this W.C. attorney that came there with his MONETARY intentions instead of addressing the one I called him for. DPOA!
Logan is home. :0) Looks the same as he did when he left.
Came home with all kinds of junk shit from their trip to China. Yen, numchucks ( however you spell it), nail clippers that say China on them, etc. Told him those CHUCK things can stay at his dads house.
NOT HERE!
As I write this I am getting riled up. They can buy this CRAP and not pay child support??? WTF!!
Think I need to make a trip down to her bedroom and confront this issue quietly ...so as not to wake Logan.
That's All Folks!

D D STEAMING!!!!!
After I posted I called hubby back. He still had not been given his pain med and it was 30 minutes after I HEARD HIM ASK FOR IT!
Call made to the front desk and I let that person know that for lack of a better word I was MISLED yesterday at the meeting.
Oh his nurse is with him now..I'll go make sure he gets it.
Yeah, right!
He wants his leg pain to settle down some before he starts P.T.
Jill was just called to work to prep foods by SIL Joe just up in the center of town at his shop. I need to throw on some clothes and drive her up there. I say UP THERE because our house sits in a valley. Town is at a higher level as to the area to each side of where our house faces.
To Be Continued. I shit you not!
I ran Jill up in my pj's. She stopped at Cumberland Farm for cigarettes and from the you can see part of the VFW's parling lot. She exclaims, Ten twenty and I see George's truck parked there already.
Which promted me to utter..."another looser! "
That left an opening for me to begin about W.B. Told her I was going to tell him that if he is stupid enough to keep coming back for more of your shit, to not bring it to my house. Take it OFF somewhere else.
She tells me she keeps telling him not to bring it here and upset me or hubby and maybe he will listen to me and get the message. She has told him she is not going to see him every day. Don't come around unless you are called to. Blah,blah,blah.
Sheeeeeeesh ..... WTF is wrong with him???? That doesn't sound like she is in love with him TO ME!
Company calls before they come.....am I right?????
I have been on the phone off and on all morning. Mostly ON! Director of nurses called me to apologise about the med thing. New nurse training and things are running slower because of it. blah,bla,blah. When i was a floor nurse it would sometimes take me 15 minutes to do a patient's med's before I gave them to the patient and training a new nurse takes even longer, blah,blah,blah. Apology after apology. Will tell doctor about no laxative .....will tell nurses to tell him what is in the med cup ( but Mrs B he takes them down so fast when they are handed to him ) and I'm thinking like.....why not tell him before you hand them to him. sigh!
Will tell nurses to give pain med when he asks, but if in middle of another patient they have to finish up there first. My question to them should have been....If it takes 15 to 30 minutes to distribute pain med's to each patients, one round of meds must run into the next and so on and so on. ????? I ended by telling her I will tell him that when he cracks his eyes open in the morning to ask for his first pain med's THEN .
Then my son in FL called about the message he just found that I left last night regarding the attorney meeting yesterday. He was FULL of questions. Which left me needing More Questions from the attorney. Like what is this Durable Power of Attorney signing going to cost me.
I called his office as soon as I hung up with my son. Ohhhhh honey...you are going to be getting so much money ....once you give us the okay and we put everything together. I won't charge you a thing for it. Lots more B/S came out of his mouth. Made another call to my son. He gave me what I need to ask when he and a partner come here next week. I've been forewarned and I WILL BE ARMED. Yes, the attorney has been practicing workmen's compensation law for many years and has a good record and all that SHIT, but how much of this PIECE OF THE PIE does he want???? Not signing anything....need time to think it over...how do you get paid?...30% ???... 275K is not to be figured into your fee. More blah, blahs.
As my son said...I was only looking for a Durable Power of Attorney form so I could deal with Atty Sheila Carey as insists on and to learn WTF a Section 19 Agreement was. It was explained to me yesterday, but not that I could understand it. sigh!
Bottom Line: I'll take hubby to Atty Nyman's office to get Power of Attorney if need be. My mind is whirling .....LIKE...Call the dogs off!!! He ( NYMAN) referred me to this guy in trying to get me a better deal, but how much better is it?
Son in FL said he will make a call to an attorney friend and see if he knows anything about W.C. law. Someone that he went to his bachelor party a few years ago. Son is always trying ...for me.
Sometimes...too much :0)
Son Randy called awhile ago and where it has been spitting rain off and on this morning he will take the day off. MUSIC TO MY EARS !!!! :0) I shit you not!
Just ME and ME ALONE since Jill went to work.
That's the way I like it...ah ha....ah ha!
It rained all night Tuesday into this morning ( Wednesday) and it was beautiful to sleep with the slider open. Temp was like 67 degrees. :0)
Sun is out at noon. Hope Randy doesn't change his mind and come here.
Daughter Cheryl called me to tell me the starter on her van went yesterday. :0( Her hubby is going to ask his boss if he can borrow the money to fix it and their landlord use to be a mechanic so they are hoping he will put it in. he has been most helpful like this before. Dana her husband doesn't know SHIT FROM SHINOLA about cars or anything else for that matter. My Ceryl is the one that makes the house repairs. Dana doesn't know a hammer from a wrench. :0( Maybe he just doesn't want to ! He's as useless as Tits on a Boar Hog...I shit you not!
Okay UP and AT EM. Gotta get the lead outta my arse and do something around here...even if it isn't right!!!!
It's now Thursday..All Day ;0)
Logan comes home tonight around 6 p.m. :0) They left Jackson,MS last night and are driving straight through. His dad and Julie FINALLY bought him a book that is on his required reading list to read before school starts and he was reading it in the car til it got too dark to see, he told his mom.
The W.B. and Jill just left for her job in the center. It's 8 a.m. He worked yesterday and came here around 7:35 a.m. and said he would take her up there. I was ready....to go in my pj's again. Only had to slip off my shoes.
Visited hubby a few hours. Got there before supper. Onion soup , a ham and cheddar cheese turnover and apple cake. Oh... and diced beets in a orange sauce. Those weren't great. He took one taste . YUCK!
I took a taste...passable. BUT that turnover ...I have to agree with him.....DISGUSTING TASTE. I shit you not! Looked like they ground all the ham meat up and it sat at the bottom ( all mushy and greasy) . Yuck, yuck,yuck! He still had the apple pie I bought him so he ate onion soup, apple cake and apple pie.
I suppose I could have seen what else the kitchen may have had for him to eat. Oh well.
I asked for his pain med at 6 and they rushed it right into him. ME THINKS they think I am a Trouble Maker. What's odd to me is that after she gave it to him, she told me she last gave him them at 2. His order is for Four x's a day AS NEEDED, but I was giving them to him every six hours at home.
Now.... I will make that morning call to him and see if he has had his pain med yet. It's 8 a.m.
Shaking my head. Rattle, rattle! Hubby answered. He was on the porta potty and the nurse/aide handed him the phone. He thought he had a stroke...bed was a mess, back of it was raised way up, he woke confused and couldn't remember things......felt lousy...felt sick. Thought he had to have a bm, but didn't and I hung up so she could pull his pants back up and assist him back into bed. I'll call him back .
meanwhile....I'll make my own bed. My right leg is especially achy this morning. It's Hell getting old.:0( I shit you not!
He was back in bed and his food was in front of him. Didn't feel like eating. Wanted his vital signs taken...wanted pain med for his hurting legs....woke not knowing where he was. Had trouble finding the Call Button while I was on the phone with him, but did. Nurse came to him to check on him and took the phone to tell me what she was doing. I told her I'd call back. His voice sounds fine. sigh!
It's now 8:30.
Researching on the computer...I found it's a Wolcott Legal Form that I need to have filled out as Durable Power Of Attorney. Don't know how old this info is., but read they can be bought at a Stationary Store.
I'll call one after 9 a.m. I'm like...WTF happens if something happens to hubby between now and next week when this jerkoff attorney comes to the house????? My initial call to our old attorney WAS to ask him how much he would charge to do this.... and it has esculated into something else. :0( My brain doesn't need these flies in the ointment...so to speak.
OMG! Wait til I post tomorrow to see just how brain dead I am. Have pics to prove it! I shit you not!
Last time I talked to hubby was around 10 and he was being sponge bathed.
Still didn't feel " quite right" as he put it. :0(
Then I got side tracked by a knock on my door which I'll splain 2morrow.
Next call to him I made at 1:10 and got no answer. Asleep or doing P.T. That is the question. ;0)
That's All Folks!
Call made to the front desk and I let that person know that for lack of a better word I was MISLED yesterday at the meeting.

D D Walmartians anyone???? Welcome
For your shopping pleasure
we have
enteringTracie didn't go home until around 10:30 p.m.
MY FAULT....I hinted and yawned, but I didn't SPEAK UP!
Except for the aches waking me occasionally last night, I slept good. The pain is not as severe in my arm and I did have some cramping in my right leg off and on so I will increase the Zinc to 2 beginning today. Was hoping one would do the trick and last me as long as the Vitamin D , BUT SHIT HAPPENS!
Speaking of which....hubby tested NEGATIVE for C Diff. The new results were in yesterday at our staff meeting. :0)
His loose bowels are from the stool softener they are giving him AND SHIT...I forgot to tell them not to give it to him unless he needs it. :0(
The W.B. went home to HIS BED last night before Tracie left.
I have not spoken to either of them YET about them bringing their SHIT to my door, but it will happen. I shit you not!
In writing my thoughts down I have found the strength to correct what I have done wrong. Albeit ;BabySteps. I need to work on me MOOCHO more.
It's 9 a.m. Wednesday the 10th and I just got off the phone with hubby. His legs are in pain and he said he asked for pain med earlier. I had him push the efffin RED BUTTON. A nurse came and he asked for his pain med and told her he had asked for it earlier. heard her tell him this was the first time she had heard it and something about giving him his other meds with it, BUT FIRST she needed to do his vitals.
What B/S they fed me yesterday. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh if he asked he doesn't have to give us the name of it....just say pain med and we will give it to him. Now...they ignore his first request and want to wait until it's time to administer his other morning meds. :0(
Yesterday he told me he had asked and ASKED for pain med. They claimed he never asked.
PEOPLE......we treat animals better than this!!!! I shit you not!
Phone call from me again !!! Ohhhhhhhhh , I'll ask nicely.
Phone call make. Spoke to a recorder. Told the social worker that he shouldn't have to wait for his pain med until other meds are due. If he wants it at 7 a.m. and his other RX's are not due until 9 a.m. HE SHOULD NOT BE MADE TO WAIT! Also told them to STOP the stool softner.
He is UNUSUAL in that narcotics are known to bind you up....VERY RARELY does he take Colace as VERY RARELY is he bound up!
They claimed ( well his RN at the meeting did that he never asks for his pain med.
FED ME B/S! Grand daughter Jessica is charge R.N. at a Rest Home/Rehab in San Diego,CA and she knows what goes on and what doesn't get done UNLESS someone has an Advocate.
I need to get busy...this was longer than intended ..... Go Figure! ;0)
The longer I sit...the stiffer I get. You don't use it...You loose it! I shit you not!
That's All Folks!

D D Same SHIT.... Different Day
Yesterday.......just before Jill and Michelle got back from P.T. and where ever else they went in the three hours they were gone ( P.T. was 1 1/2 hours approx.) THE W.B. showed up.
Surprise....SURPRISE ...NOT!
I didn't hang around at the front door after I spotted him talking to Randy and NOT until after Michelle came in and had been inside for five minutes or longer THAT Jill was not behind her.
It was about then that I asked Michelle what Jill was doing. Oh....she took off with Butchie, she said. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Earlier in the morning when I went to her door to feed Charlie I spotted a long stemmed lavender rose in a florist wrapper with a card. I stepped back and asked her to feed Charlie. She brought the rose inside and laid it down and went about her business with me saying I would put it right back where you found it.
Later I saw it in a vase in her room. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Like some of you have been saying.....She is enjoying all of this drama! I AM NOT!
She never came home. I made one call to her cell phone to ask if it was I that was suppose to feed Cash as she left me no message to to that. :0( Her ?box was FULL.
Still haven't laid eyes on either of them. When I do ...I will begin with same shit, different day. Then proceed to tell him if he is stupid enough to keep getting jerked around then DO NOT COME HERE bringing your problems to my house. Whatever you have to say to her WILL be said away from my house and not in my presense.
I don't want to hear it !!!!!
If need be.... I will remind him that causing a person over a certain age to fear him is A SERIOUS CRIME!
Back to my kitchen drawers I go. Emptying them out ( one by one ) amd parting with some things.
It's a start in the right direction and grand daughter Theresa can probably use some kitchen stuff for her and her 2 girlfriends apartment they just leased. TEN cake spatulas !!!
Who needs TEN and how the Hell did I acquire TEN?????
Spent three hours at the nursing home /rehab and even pushed hubby around for awhile outdoors. I'm beat!
The two attorneys showed up on time at one. They will come out to the house next week after hubby is home to TALK about us wanting to settle with Work Comp. We took our chances all these years and Lady Luck was with us. :0) Now .....we might be pushing our luck. If they want to give hubby 7 years worth of W.C. to settle his claim which would be above and beyond what they owe us already....we just might seriously consider it. Also we will be doing a Durable Power of Attorney in case hubby is unable to make decisions in the future. My son in FL has been advocating that for awhile now. The time has come.
The meeting with all hubby's care givers went well and not too long after I spoke the words, " come the 16th I'm taking him home as I can't afford to give Medicare $141 a day...the meeting ended on that note. They did add they thought he was just about ready for release and pay no mind to the hours on our walls that we release.....11 a.m. is good with us if it is with you. :0) IT IS!!!
I forgot what else I wanted to tell you. sigh! Thought of it earlier while I was driving....now POOF!
This isn't it.
The lost ...........returned sometime around noon before I left.
Were here when I got back.
Tracie just came. I'm not good company....yawning . Bed time can't come soon enough. I shit you not!
That's All Folks!

D D I was going to make this
SHORT and SWEET, BUT something happened on the way to the ........................FORUM !!!
Made appointments...one to meet with an attorney at the Rehab so he can speak with and get hubby's input on where he wants to go with this HOLDUP on monies that is rightfully his/ours.
Six months is more than long enough to be Toyed With and have our strings pulled by his workman's compensation company. I shit you not!
Have made other calls about his prescription bills to the V.A. and got that squared away.
All this crap weighs heavy on the mind. I shit you not!
Ran around to different stores with Tracie yesterday afternoon. Can't say I didn't enjoy it causeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I DID ....even if she sometimes is Slower Than Molasses Running Up Hill On A Freezing Day!!! ;0) The back of her car is sooooooooooooo FULL OF SHIT that she has to open the back rear windows to put any more STUFF in orrrrrrrrrrrrrr Crap will fall out. I shit you not! I have 3 almost empty water bottles rolling around under my feet at all times. When I asked why she left them there along with all the other rubbish she told me it's in case she starts to choke...she will have something to drink. Now....Why didn't I think of that ?????
We went to Boston Market just down the road a few hundred feet to eat before going to visit hubby.
I had a DELISH chicken salad sandwich on rye. Hubby had a shitty lunch and I figured his supper wouldn't be much better ( at least in his opinion ) so I bought and brought him a pulled BBQ chicken sub and....a slice of apple pie.....and a chocolate chip brownie. He ate half of the sub , the brownie and enjoyed them.
After we left there I noticed her fuel tank was on EMPTY. She was going to drive all the way to another town that we didn't have to be in and get gas 10 cents a gallon cheaper. GIVE ME AN EFFFIN BREAK!!! I was tired....so I said I'll put $20 in your tank ...just go to one in my town.
We pull in and the attendant saw the pile of shit up to the roof in the back seat and his eyes widened and he exclaimed .....did you buy the the stores OUT???? That's exactly what it looks like back there....I shit you not!
Today is the INSPECTION on her apartment. It will be determined if she is a HOARDER as they have claimed. sigh! It's a sickness and she knows she has alot of STUFF, but claims her apartment has no storage for IT! HELL, I have no storage for MY STUFF either and I own a house. Something tells me that I better make a determination on what I need and don't need in my life.
I know MY SHIT is wearing me down.
Right now IT'S CLUTTER, but it wouldn't take much to determine something else. sigh!
It's all in the EYE of the BEHOLDER! I shit you not!
I SIT HERE WONDERING how in the Hell I raised all my kids here and had room for them and their SHIT and now I have just Jill and Logan here and have CLUTTER that I can't find a place to store it away. :0(
:0) It was not my fault that my daughter's car SHIT THE BED!!!!
It was extremely LOW ON OIL. A car's life's blood as my son Randy said. He just checked the oil in it. Does that make me feel better? Yes and No. Randy is draining the oil out of it now to see just how low it was.....5 quarts? 4 1/2,4....???
Young Gil has been driving it. sigh!!!!!!!!!!

The other is to meet with the social worker there along with his P.T. person and hear what they have to say/sell us. No matter what they have to say he is HOME the 16th of this month. $141 a day co-pay? Is Medicare MAD????
This is not the Ritz Carlton. I shit you not! Nor is it the Cadillac of Rehabs.
Attorney will be there at 1p.m. and our meeting with the social worker and P.T. is at 2 p.m.

I changed the title minutes ago from.... This will be short and sweet.
Now what the Hell ever made me think I could speak what's on my mind in a few lines
Jill and Michelle are finally back from her P.T. on her foot. She went to see her hubby after and he wasn't in a good mood. MEN!!!!
That's All Folks!

D D Have I said???
Cash has taken up position on MY pillow for his morning nap.
This was taken in the middle of the night 2 nights ago. When I turned the light on to snap it...he opened his eyes, BUT never stirred.
THIS ENDS when hubby comes home. It's HUBBY'S PILLOW!!!
Wish I had waited for Tracie yesterday. sigh!
It began raining around 9 p.m. last night . Been raining off and on ever since. I feel like climbing back in bed when I hear rain drops falling. I'm fighting that urge off right now. ;0)
Wish I had waited for Tracie yesterday. sigh!
Randy has maybe five sections of stockade fencing stained ( cedar) and up across the back of my property.
Why in the world he chose the ( cedar ) color...cedar fencing maybe????
My house is Gray and White. The picket ( plastic ) fencing out front is WHITE. The existing rotting stockade fence is stained Cape Cod Gray. Oh Fuck It!!! Just get it done. At least he is trying to help and the area he is working in had a rusty wire fencing . Lots of tree roots underground that he has to chop through to put the posts in and cement them in. My property runs 150 feet across the back and 125 feet out to the street.
Wish I had waited for Tracie yesterday. sigh!
Michelle came in around midnight. The dogs heard her long before I did ( car pulling in the driveway ) to let her out. The barking didn't stop until she was in and identified by them. :0(
Wish I had waited for Tracie yesterday. sigh!
Jill's car ( IS/WAS so low that I hit my head HARD getting into it more than once yesterday not judging my height and the door opening.
Wish I had waited for Tracie yesterday. sigh!
Have I said that it's a great life if you don't weaken ???

Have I said that I wish I waited for Tracie to come around to take me to visit hubby. ??? I wanted him to have/enjoy a Steak Bomb where his lunch meal sucked. Unfortunately Tracie isn't out of bed at the lunch hour. Well unfortunately for me anyway! Now my dilema is , when do I make that call to Jill. sigh!!!! Before she leaves Maine or after.... on her drive home
That's All Folks!
