Marcy:

Thank you for thinking about me with regard to the passing of my mom. She is at peace now: no pain or suffering -- no sorrow or dementia. I truly am joyful about that although I will miss her terribly forever.

Cindy P.

Cindy, I still miss my mom too especially when one of the grandbabies does something so cute. Mom was a twin and would have delighted so much in Hannah and Clara and their antics.  However, my good memories help me to not dwell on the sadness of her no longer being here. When I wish I could  tell her something or ask her something and I can't. . .those are the especially hard times. Sometimes I just go right ahead and talk to her anyway! When my mom got to the point where she couldn't take care of herself in her home she was ready to go and she tried to prepare us in her own way. I bet your mom was ready too. I don't think any of us would want to linger when we don't feel well, we can't go and do what we want, our friends are all gone. . . I sure don't.

Top of the Morning to you Margo and everyone!

Ugh... today I find out the results of my thyroid biopsy.  I am thinking only positive thoughts.  Still, it is a little scary.  Was happy to find out Carla had good news at her check up yesterday.

Have been trying to keep myself busy the last few days while in waiting.  Taking all of my dogs for walks and working a bit in the yard.  Slower than usual but still keeping active.  Have lost a few pounds and I am happy about that.  Who wouldn't be???

YEA!! Have been invited to a clam bake, however, I am unsure I like clams..lol  Never tried them.  Any suggestions on how to eat them, or if they taste good or what ever would prepare me..lol

Hope everyone has a great day.  It has been cool here in Ohio.  But nice weather to be outdoors just the same.  Sun always shining.


Peace!

Mary, Sending positive thoughts your way re your thyroid scan.

I love clam chowder and little steamed butter clams. We have big razorback clams here and they need to be prepared by someone who knows what they are doing or they can be tough.

We have a restaurant on the Seattle waterfront that does a "boil." All kinds of seafood, plus corn in a big pot. They boil it, drain it and roll it out on a table covered with paper and everyone digs in. It's yummy!!

Good morning OFF family,

Prayers and hugs all around for all of us. Life is happening it seems. Some are going to rough waters.

My MIL was transferred from the nursing home to ER last night and they admitted her.
I just want her comfortable and at peace and rest. She is such a sweetheart. She missed her hubby who passed away last June. They were joined at the hip, one of those couples. She will be joining Dad soon I believe. All will be well. Hugs to all...Debbie

Debbie:

I don't know the details of your MIL's illness -- but we got Hospice involved in mom's end of life care. They did a wonderful job of managing her physical pain.

I hope your MIL can transition and be with your FIL soon.

Hugs to you.

Cindy P.

Yeah, I wish they would have chosen Hospice for mom in her last admission but they chose to do tests, more test then put a feeding tube in her gut. Mom didn't want that but the daughter she has chosen to make decisions has her own way of doing things and being right.

Of course no one's right or wrong but I believe in Palliative Care (comfort measures only) for a 87 year old that is not healthy to begin with.

I'm praying hard this time that the daughter chooses Hospice.
Thanks for the hugs Cindy and I'm holding your hand right now to comfort you. I feel your pain.

We sure do give a lot of love and support on this forum. Hugs again, a real tight one! Debbie

Sounds like even tho her daughter may not be ready for her to go that perhaps SHE is. May she have a peaceful passing. I wasn't ready for either of my parents to go when their time came but it would have been so selfish to want them to remain and suffer just so that I wouldn't have to miss them.
