Every day really is a gift-- There is no use being angry--or upset about anything-- When we are given any gift, we say thank yu--- (this time to the good Lord)-He has allowed us to have this day- a gift---and we are so fortunate.
This morning I am taking Himself to talk to the anesthesiologist who is supposed to be at the head of the table while Himself has a scope of his bowels, next week-- He is not supposed to have any anaesthetic-(so why do they want this guy to meet him?)--- I am against him even having this procedure at his age---- (That is the REAL reason I am going this AM)-Hopefully I can talk to this guy to talk Himself out of it)
I am beginning to believe now, watching Himself, that people kinda lose their brain function, maybe after the age of 90---some earlier--It seems to me that crazy things happen the older the brain is! Last night I heard terrible sounds coming from the dishwasher-- which Himself had loaded-- I opened the door of the dishwasher and all these plastic bowls fell out--which had been rolling around inside the machine--Himself cannot hear so never thought there might be a problem- --And how many times is the tap left running?--Himself does not hear that either.-
Anyway, time to get on with the day here--- I hope that your day is going well---Just MAKE it go well---sing---dance a little--Put on those magic red shoes--tap them together---- and "voila"---yu never know what will happen!--You might even get to see the wizard and meet a scarecrow and a cowardly lion!
Good Morning! Surprise, I have a minute or six to actually comment in the MORNING. Only because Ember is in her den early, because my trainer appointment is also a bit early, too. Life! We just slide things around until they all fit, right?
ReplyDeleteI hope things go well with you, Himself, and the anesthesiologist this morning. We get along as best we can making the choices we are given to make.
Hugs!
It went well this morning but gtoopk forever--OLd people are SLOW--LOL--Lynda
DeleteLynda, I will not let myself get distracted today. I will not wait (and forget) to post until later.
ReplyDeleteI'm saving that last meme.
Does Himself want that procedure done? Is he having trouble in that area? I would think the medical team would know if he is too fragile to have it at his age.
I was thinking about your kids wanting you to move. They probably worry about you and all the work they know you have to do to keep your property up...and they often don't have time to help. Also...one day (I hesitate to say this) you will be alone...except for the pets.
What did you decide about the German?
I will be on my way soon to gather lilacs for several of us.
Did it again...posted late last night. Hope you saw it.
Praying your day (and Himself's procedure) goes well. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Maggie yu are so funny--never worry I will find your post--Himself WANTS everything done--drives me crazy!--LOL-It was quite a day--He knocked the shower door off --had to get my Daughter in law -to put it back--The Lilacs sound lovely--=bet they smell nice-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I hope all goes well with the anesthesiologist. I agree with you, at some point these invasive tests just don't need to be done. It must be challenging to have to set things right all the time. My husband is forgetting things now and then, or he just doesn't notice. With him, he spends so much time thinking about what he wants his life to look like that he forgets to live his life now! I have an appointment with the surgeon in 2 weeks, and a neurosurgeon in 3 weeks. After that we will determine what the next steps are going to be. We have a trip planned to visit my daughter's family in Virginia the end of June - I don't want to miss that. I also want to plant a garden this year but I don't know if I'll be able to take care of it! It's so frustrating to not know what will be happening. Maybe I'll just decide to wait until fall if I have to have this surgery! My daughter with the 2 little boys just called - she's taking the boys on a holiday. She needs some time off! Wish I could do the same but it just isn't much fun doing anything when I hurt! Have a good day today! You're right, we have to make it a good day. Daisy and I are off for a walk!
ReplyDeleteKathy it must be hard when your body hurts--hopefully yu get that fixed soon --Lynda
DeleteOh goodness. I hope that all goes as you wish for this meeting! Such a worry @ Himself’s age!

always a worry Barb--everything with him--LOL--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! It is raining in Ohio. Everything needs watered and it is quiet. How is your day going? It is a gift, indeed. I hope that Himself gets the medical stuff worked out the way you want it to. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteLynda, I don’t always comment but I read all your daily writings. I hope your day turned out the best for you and himself.
DeleteHi Lynda: My friend's husband has alzhiemers and is in a home. He is also not supposed to be put out for tests or surgery. She has to fight for it to not happen. I think it makes the condition worse. So good luck. And your right - at 95 why give him tests. I doubt they would ever operate. Relax and play the piano tonight. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteIt was quite a day to-day---difficult go get him in there--took all morning--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda I hope things worked out as you hoped with himself today. I suppose, since he's a physician, he's wanting confirmation on a condition.
ReplyDeleteMake today the best it can be.
Hope you find time to play your piano or read.
Finally, it stopped storming and raining in St.Louis. It's been 3 days of severe storms, tornado warnings and heavy rain.
Hugs and blessings
Marge/St.Louis
Hi Marge-=-Our daughter said it was raining--and I did play the piano--- How did yu kow?--Lynda
DeleteI had medical power of attorney for my 92 year old mom who had alzheimers! I had to fight them when they wanted to do some invasive kidney surgery on her - as she was having frequent UTI's....she had signed papers that she did not want extensive measures to keep her alive. It was hard to fight specialists, but I knew my mom's wishes....and refused, so I know what you are going through! It is hard Lynda! Stay strong! You were a nurse and you have much more medical knowledge about Fred.....so hold your ground!
ReplyDeleteAww Sandra Thank yu ---hatrd sometimes eh?--Lynda
