It has been quite a day--busy---- The good news however, is that, son#3 and family are en route , to coming home. I believe they are on West Jet, so will leave Honolulu--and land in Calgary-- then Calgary to Toronto--We haven't heard from them yet--but--sometime to-morrow, the visiting canines will see their Mom and Dad--
I walked Lopez up and down the back road--this morning--- nothing---no results, as to him doing his business-- I just came back upstairs here and here is --HIS BUSINESS---- Lord love a Duck-- Himself must've left the gate open , coming upstairs---kinda sad---Hopefully, after some of the canines return to their home, Lopez will return to his normal self--
Himself has refused the Day Program provided for Seniors --- I am trying to speak to the co-ordinator of the program to see how we could handle this-- Maybe it is me who should go to this program, to get some peace of mind, away from Himself--- We shall see how to handle this---
Do any of you find, as one reaches their senior years, some of the grown children shower you with all kinds of advice?--I know they mean well, but, usually this advice is not asked for-- nor do they really understand a situation---and the advice given, usually just complicates a situation-- --Is it just me---- or is it something that all people in their senior years have to listen to?---
Where ever you are---I hope that your day is special-and if it isn't --make it special---

Good morning! I am sure Lopez will get back on schedule when the doggies go home. When we got the puppy a few weeks ago, it took our older one two weeks to act right. It was rough. Happy for you to get back to normal, too. So sorry about himself saying no to the program. Sorry you get a lot of advice. Yeah, makes you feel like you need to go to get a break. Lol Love the Hawaii pics. So lovely. Enjoy your day and thank you for your post. Always makes my day. Hugs from Ohio!:)
ReplyDeleteOh yu sure so good to write-- I just heard from Son#3--They are in Vancouver--just landed----now heading to Toronto soon--going to the Lodge tomorrow to see if we can get him(himself) to get into the day program somehow-Lynda
DeleteI hope tomorrow goes well for both of you.
DeleteHi Lynda. I so look forward to your daily posts and inserts. Your positive attitude and strength is inspiring and some days contagious.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised that himself is saying he won't go to adult program. I so hope those in charge have suggestions as to how to make this happen. If nothing else, send him with his stethoscope or a blood pressure cuff and let him take BPs for the other folks. He can't hurt anyone lol. You need a break! Maybe, you will both have to go a few times until he figures out its ok
Adult kids have ALL the answers BUT they aren't around to see and hear what goes on nor are they following you around to witness all you DO. Dont we all know what someone else should do lol
They mean well. You have good kids.
Happy to hear son is on the way back. Beautiful pictures. I can hardly wait for them to pic up their 412 dogs.
Lopez....well...he's a challenge and likely to remain that way. Pack him up and send him home with LOLA permanently. Lol.
Have a peaceful day. Hang tough. Hoping you get some good tips on how to get the Doc to willingly go to respite care. Lord love a duck.
Hang in
Play your piano.
Hugs
Margene---so good to hear from yu--I just got a text--Son#3 and family are in Toronto--just landed----are heading north --=up here--The lodge called and suggested I go with Fred and drop in for coffee--there-- nice of them to say that--I will take them up on it-And yes, my piano is my salvation-- LOL--=Lynda
DeleteJust responded to your message to Maggie....Now to comment on this one.
ReplyDeleteIt must seem like a long time before your son and his return.... Won't be long now.
Those photos DO make me want to go back to Hawai'i! Someday soon.
Arose really early this morning. When I got back from my 2 hr drive, Lucky would not let me go back to sleep again. Maybe a nap later.
Have Sadie stuff to do, of course. You probably do, too.
It's cooler here. Only 58F but humid. Glad for the cooler weather, but it's still to early for autumn to start...I hope!
Saved another of your memes again. You sure are good at finding them.
Cheers! {{{HUGS}}}
It has been a busy day here--very hot here too--happy that yu can use the memes-Lynda
DeleteHaha! Everyone loves to give advice, including your followers. Occasionally someone actually has a good idea, so better to listen and act interested. 🙂
ReplyDeleteMaybe your husband will discover he likes the day program if you can get him to try it. Perhaps if you both go the first time and see how it goes…
There is that advice again.
Have a great day! Tomorrow the dog population is cut in half.
Yeah for to-morrow---only 2 dogs--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy - you are not alone with adult children thinking they know what their parents should and should not do. My oldest daughter is the one who thinks she knows best. Sometimes she doesn't talk to me for awhile because she doesn't like the way I see the world - different from her but then I've seen much more of the world than she has! I love the memes and the photos, Hawaii does look so beautiful. Can himself be talked into just TRYING the senior center - I'll bet he would enjoy it once he was there having spent so much of his life helping people and talking with them. I wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy-=-Hopefully when I get rid of these dogs I can get him there--Lynda
DeleteThe folks I know who go to those seniorDay care places, no one “asks”, they take! Some of them HAD to go, because the person they lived with passed away. Once they got there, they enjoyed it, finally somebody to sit and talk to, new stories to hear, etc. actual living, not just existing. Think how your brother has people to talk yo every day, instead of moping at home, alone! He is living again. Himself’s doctors should have signed him up there a long time ago., They failed him, did not try to help you at all, they failed you, too.
ReplyDeleteI certainly agree--- Lynda
DeleteYu just do what yu can do-- That is all--Himself will never go in a LTCare place--will not even go there for a day program--I spoke to them today--and the head honcho said to start by taking him fopr copffee-- so--I'll try that-- Lynda
ReplyDeleteMarsha--so so true-- I know they mean well--Lynda
ReplyDeleteLove the first saying. Hawaii pictures are great, not Montreal though! Kids love giving advice, I did it too but different situation not including dementia or alzheimers. Hopefully Lola and Apollo's family get back tomorrow. And hope you can get some advice on how to handle himself not wanting to participate in any program. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteSon#3 on his way ==driving North to here-- landed in Toronto-=-almost here -- Lynda
