You see, Himself used to be the Dr at Huron Lodge, so the staff there all know him, and they came out and were hugging him and even kissing him-----He looked so happy!-- The program sorta suited for him, is "Day Care"-- and there actually is a program set up--daily for people like him--with whatever he has!--I call it "old timers"------ I stayed with him, as they chatted away, laughing about things that happened when he was the Doctor there-- It really was so good to see Himself laughing----As well as getting him to socialize, it gives the Caregiver a bit of a break from being with the person day in and day out_ There is a small fee-- and if he wanted , for a small fee, he could even stay for lunch--
We both left happy---We only stayed an hour--- but I have enrolled him in the program--Monday mornings for now--
I am late posting--but---- I know that you all will be happy to see that this "Day Care" thing worked out-- I was kinda "fit to be tied"--(Mom just reminded me of that expression--I heard her shout it out , in my brain)-
So, I shall talk to you all later---It was a busy morning--but, so worth it!--
I hope that you all are not getting too upset about the price of gas----and the fires-- and the cost of groceries-- Lord love a Duck!---I believe we should just put all that out of our mind---
What a happy blog you have written today. To hear that Himself was laughing, getting hugs and kisses and enjoying himself was wonderful.. Sometimes when we worry about things they do work out and we wonder why we spent so much time worrying. I am so happy for you both. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh Madeline--Whatta great morning--- He was so jhappy--so--everty Monday morning we shall go there-- Hopefully he wil;l get to enjoy it--There are very kind people in this world-Lynda
DeleteSo happy to hear Himself enjoyed himself. Hopefully it continues and you can get a little break for me time!!
ReplyDeleteThe staff at the Lodge are so kind-- --It went really well-Lynda
DeleteI would do a backflip for you right now if I could! Lol I am thrilled for you and how great it all went for himself! All the right people and special attention was right there to help him and cheer him on. You made my day! It is sunny and 75 here in Ohio. I think I may crate Tommy and take my nephew out to a couple stores. He leaves next weekend. I will be so sad. Yes, everything is so expensive. I hope things settle down soonly. Get some rest!:)
ReplyDeleteDo the back flip-- LOL--- It really was amazing-- I shudda taken him there a long time ago-- Lynda
DeleteAWESOME! Exactly what I hoped for. By all means, take him there....at least a couple days a week and congregate lunch is a bonus. You NEED a break. Im so happy it worked out. Thank God.
ReplyDeleteLoved the last insert about clean the house. So funny.
Rest. Relax and GOOD ON YOU FOR RANGLING THAT BULL!! WAHOO
LOLOL==-Yes it worked out-The staff all were so nice to him and they were remembering about old times when he worked there----Was good to see them all laughing--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy - I just had a good feeling that once himself arrived at the center he would enjoy it. You can see the sparkle in his eyes when all the children are around. I would imagine being a doctor for his whole life he likes being around people, talking with them, learning about them. And what a bonus that he used to be the doctor THERE and already knew so many people. I'm so happy this worked out for you both! I love that last saying about being thrown into bed while the man cleans the whole house! My dream come true!!! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteLOLOL--=Yes--- We wish for that--being thrown in bed and he cleans our house--LOLOL_-made me laugh too--Lynda
DeleteThat is terrific news, that he enjoyed it so very much! Thank goodness you took him! And you know he will get good care there, too! Wonderful. Yes, groceries are high, but not all of them. I don’t drive or have a car anymore, but adult kids do, they need cars, I guess other things will be cut. Have a good night!
ReplyDeleteyes, thank goodness I took him--He really was happy-- Lynda
DeleteI am so glad Himself enjoyed the trip and had a good time. This is an answer to prayer from all of us. God is good!!
ReplyDeleteSharon--- thank yu for all your prayers-- HE LIKES IT--LOLOL-- Lynda
DeleteI am so happy that all went well this morning and that you are going to continue it. Himself must have felt really good that so many recognized him - good for the intial visit. Hopefully that will make it easier for him to keep going - and include lunch sometimes at least.That would give you a full morning at least once a week to get things done. You must have felt real good to see him so happy. Have a good evening. Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda --It is a miracle that he likes it--a blessing-- Lynda
DeleteOh Linda . . . . shouting a huge hallelujah! That’s wonderful that Himself had a good time @ Huron Lodge . . . and he was laughing and socializing! That is absolutely awesome. I am sure he’ll get extra special attention since they know him! That is great for him AND AWESOME for you! I am just tickled pink (my Mom’s expression!) for you. For sure, you should consider letting him have lunch there, too, so you have a little more YOU time! Just so happy for you.
ReplyDeletehugs and blessings

I think as he goes there more -he will stay for lunch--Lynda--
DeleteLynda, that last meme is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteVery happy that Himself had a good morning! Seems like the small fee will be worth it! If he likes it, maybe you could also enroll him on your hair day? I bet he'd like the lunch, too...it wouldn't be take out nor something one of you prepared...like leftovers from the night before.
It's a very pleasant day here. 70'sF a bit of a breeze and SUNNY. For the weekend, Friday through Sunday, it's due to be extreme heat again. Near 100F, I believe.
We just deal, don't we. Do what we can, find the positive side of things, etc.
Was it in the 1950's that the expression, "Keep on truckin'" was born?
{{{HUGS to all 5 of you}}}
I thought that last meme so funny too--It was very hot here today too--muggy--and i remember that expression, "Keep on trucking" --=Funny eh?--Lynda
DeleteHello, that's GREAT! Hallelujah! But isn't it hair day that you need him to be there? How does that work?
ReplyDelete--Well--the darn old hair day eh?-----=No it will be Monday morning-It could be any day really, but I think the activities on the Monday will be good for him-Lynda
DeleteI'm so happy it went well, and that he will have a place to go one day a week. It will be something to look forward to, good for him AND good for you!
ReplyDeleteWe're back in the oven here today, but due for a quick break tomorrow, then a hot weekend. Life goes on, and the eye thing went well, which makes me so happy. I know it's gone so well for many, including you, but you know how it is when it's your own self going through things.
I'm telling everyone who will listen "nothing to worry about", and "good drugs" that make you not worry about what's happening even while you're awake and aware that it's happening.
One more day in the books, one more day to be grateful for!
Did yu get both eyes done Barb?--Here they did one eye--then I had to wait a month or 2--cannot remember----It is the difference between day and night isn't it?--Happy for you-- Lynda
DeleteHooRay!!! So happy to hear that all went well with your visit to the lodge this morning! I know my mom loved her place in assisted living because she was had people to talk to and eat with every day! I think she was lonely and depressed before we were able to get her a placement where she was well taken care of.....I was sad and felt like a failure because I just couldn't do it - but it turned out to be wonderful for her. I have no regrets.
ReplyDeleteIts like a miracle--LOL-- Lynda
DeleteI am so glad that he liked it there he may ask to go more often that would be awesome
ReplyDeleteYes I think he will continue to go--amazing-so happy-Lynda
DeleteYahoo!! Wonderful news….so happy for both of you! ❤️ Eissa7
ReplyDeleteI know---the best news ever--- LOL--Lynda-
DeleteYay! Such good news that the visit to the senior daycare went well. I'm sure Himself was loving being the most popular man in the room and having so many people pay attention to him. I like the idea of him staying for lunch -- maybe you can ease into that after the first week. Even one morning or day without worrying about what he's up to when you're not in the house may help with your stress level. You never know how this might have turned out, but it was the best possible outcome. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteHopefully he will go next week too-Lynda
DeleteDarlene--- It is working out--Lynda
ReplyDeleteThe Lodge sounds like a great place for him to 'hang out' on hair days too.
