3 THINGS FOR WEDNESDAY

Well lets just say I did read it BUT I SKIPPED step one. I didnt want to part my hair in 4 because I didnt want the parts to STICK! So I just skipped that one to step 2 which was to pile all your hair on the top of your head. That I DID! But I did NOT SEE where it said DO NOT LEAVE IN FOR MORE THEN 5 minutes! I went and got on the phone and happened to pass by a MIRROR and SCREAMED BLOODY MURDER! Mike was outside adding chemicals to the pool and almost fell in because of my scream. I will NEVER do that again unless he does it or I go to a hair salon. I FREAKED OUT! I think I burned calories just from my blood pressure going UP! ha ha ha

Hi Tia,

Woooo hoooo girl you go girl on the 9 pounds loss.  You will make that goal!!!

I know I listen to my instincts all the time. I think you know that by now... lol

Today I am thankful for:

1. Seeing the "light"

2. Seeing the "light"

3. Seeing the "light"


I know quite redundant but very enlightening it has been for me and others.

Have a great day sweetie!

Good morning, Cira!!!!

Thank you SOOOO much!!  You know how hard I've worked for this, too!!!  The fact that I can still do this after almost 4 years is especially heartening to me!!!

Yes, you do.  Thanks for passing on the wisdom!!!!



LY,

Good Morning to all. It has been a hard week Mom is not getting better still she cant stand up and her confusion is horrible. They asked me to fill out a DNR and I am so confused with that. Never had to do this before. I will ask social worker she has for help. I want to make the right choice.  I took my 16 year old to see his Granny and she thought he was her therapist. I am glad he  did go and by the end of the visit she called him by his name and said he is a good guy. I done feel I have much to be thankful for but I will do my be even though I know I have so much to be thankful for.
1) Mom is still here...
2) Today is acupuncture. Boy do I need it...
3) My fur babies that love me and cuddle with me when I feel so weepy.
4) Friends and family who understand that I am stressed and accept me being SNAPPY...
 Tia, You know when a new job is right. You can only make the call. Happy to see your scale moving that will put a smile on your face.
Gail, Glad your so is on meds they do help and I agree with Tia. I am glad you stepped out of your zone. I hope to do that one day too.
Darla, Glad you enjoyed the pool and also you having energy. I love my fur babies too..
Angie, I just went to my 1st quarter auction so much fun.
Jilly, Glad you have no green hair you are to cute for green hair.
Cira, You have always seen the light and at times you are the light that has shown us the way..Thanks you.. May you keep on shining...

I hope I did not miss anyone..

Please keep Mom in your thought and prayers.. I hope all of you live today to the fullest and re
member to make a difference in someones life no matter how big or small. We can all make a difference.

I'm so sorry about your Mom.  Had you ever spoken with her about her wishes regarding a DNR?  If so, maybe that would help guide you.  Whatever your decision, I hope you take some comfort in the fact that you've been a wonderful daughter.  I'm sure you'll second guess yourself no matter what decision you make, but that's only natural, as I know from experience that it's not an easy one.  I hope you're able to come to peace with whatever decision you make.

I'm always amazed that our furbabies just KNOW when we need them the most.  Would that more men were like that!! LOL!!!

Try to rest and take care of yourself despite the constant worry about your Mom.

Hugs,

Tia

Tia, Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am so confused and want to do the best . This is so hard. I know I will second guess myself as always. I never heard Momsay a word about DNR now I wish she would have. Can you please sneak me in your Ocean City bag I need a BEACH escape badly...Like Calgon take me away...

Hang in there, Julie.  A fall beach weekend is already in the works!!

Tia

Awwww thanks for the compliment baby girl. Your the CUTE ONE!! (((Hugs)))

I was approached so many times in my sons short six year life by Doctors to sign a DNR. I never did. It just meant that if his heart stopped or even if he choked on something I could NOT call the paramedics to revive him. I was pissed that they would even suggest such a thing to me. Then when my Aunt was dying of cancer, her kids were ask if they would sign one and they said NO. She was revived once and lived 6 more months. I also know that some adults do NOT like the thought of being revived and want to go when its "their time". Its such a hard hard decision to make. Im sorry that is on you honey. I wish I could take that away because I have been there. (((Hugs)))

OMG Jilly I did not know about your son. I am so sorry and this post has opened my eyes. I feel so torn and Mom has never talked about the DNR. I hope I can make the right choice. I am praying God will send me an answer. Thank you and I hope I did not stir up any old memories for you..

Julie...
It's easy for me to ask these questions since I"ve never been in your shoes... but thought it might be worth putting it out there for you.

Quality vs. Quantity...

1. In your mom's condition... would resuscitation be beneficial to your mom?

2. If in her cir****tance... would you want to be resuscitated?

3. Is there hope for recovery?

I hope these questions aid you in making your very difficult decision.

I also hope that God Forbid, anything would happen to a family member of mine that someone would be kind enough to remind me of my own questions!

Best wishes to you Julie and know whatever decision you make... you made it with love and compassion.
