Happy New Year Fellas!!!

Happy New Year Kickin! It was fun having you around while you were here. I slept HARD last night once I hit the pillow!

Oh, and...

Good for you! I'm feeling a bit better but still have a slight headache and boy, am I dragging! I told some friends I don't see much that I'd come over today for football. Thankfully it won't require much energy, other than getting myself together and getting over there. Thank god I have tomorrow off too.

Thanks again for the NYE fun! Wish I could've at least made it to Mountain time for WA! DANG that vodka!

I GUESS THIS IS A PALLANDRONE PAGE....

I KANT SPEL

The Mom saga continues. Since I need to manage her house and bills. I discovered a text document on her computer. She has known for 4 years that she had major health problems. 4 years ago her Doctor, who is mine as well, diagnosed her with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and abnormal ekg, as well as other things. She refused numerous prescriptions, and did not tell family. What has me angry right now is she is still DAILY telling us, doctors, and anyone who will listen that she had no health issues, no knowledge of issues, and still believes they are wrong about all of this in the hospital. It's frustrating, and rather sad. This is the outcome of those so against doctors, that they ignore diagnosis, and refuse treatment. I do understand not trusting doctors, but sometimes you have to realize, blood tests CAN alert you to health issues that can be treated. When ignored, you might wind up in emergency surgery and freaking rare complications like being paralyzed!!

Today I am taking out my frustrations on house cleaning not touched for nearly 3 weeks. Angry cleaning is always so productive. lol. She is out of ICU, so I did not go to hospital first thing this morning.

I am trying to find the patience, and path to dealing with this on a personal level with her. Do I continue to let her think we know nothing? Do I continue to let her lie to us, and herself? Do I stop babying her and make her deal with some of this reality? (obviously when she is further out of this health scare)

I just am not sure how to feel. I am angry and sad.

I 100% understand. You were there for a long while and that is what counts. Happy New Year!!!!

Hang in there Tangy Dealing with aging parents is a nightmare on many levels and it only gets worse. Remember to get plenty of rest and alone time. You need both of these to handle the emotional roller coaster you are going through. Also, remember you have this wonderful thread to vent to. Those conflicting emotions make you feel crazy at times. I know - been there done that. Hubby is going through it now with his dad.

The drama!!!!

As some know I am going through hell with my daughter right now. Afraid she is sinking further into depression and not capable of seeing anything right at this time. Pray for her please - her name is Mandy.

On another note, my hubby gave me a note inside my anniversary card that was so very sweet and special. Below is his words, his bolds and caps. Now you know why I said I was crying.


You are one AMAZING woman. You have endured so much and have stood beside me for as long as I can remember. To say I am incredibly grateful would be an understatement. I know without a shadow of doubt we wouldn't be where we are and I wouldn't be half of who I am without YOU!

You are a phenomenal mother. I don't mean ok. I mean phenomenal. There is no way in this world I could ask for someone who lovers our children and cares for our children they way you do. Our kids are so incredibly blessed. THANK YOU for loving our kids the way you do. I am more than honored that YOU mother our children!

You are an unbelievable wife. The way you love me. The way you pull things our of me that I have such a hard time doing or saying. The way you stand by me. The way you look at me. The random things you say. The way you believe in me, encourage me and pray for me. I am proud and humbly grateful to call YOU my WIFE.

Everything else in this world can pass away but I will fight to be by your side every year until I breathe my last on this planet. Happy 23rd Anniversary and I am blessed for another year with the love of my life!

FOREVER I Choose YOU and I CHOOSE US!!!

Babe, You are truly my FOREVER.

Sheesh Tangy, this is tough. On top of everything that is currently going on. :\

For her sake, once this current scare is under control, I would let her know that you saw the documents. Maybe her knowing that you know and that she cannot deny it will somehow make a difference and she'll be more open to treatment. Especially so that she won't have another scare like this one.

You're in a tough spot. I will definitely keep both your mom and you in my prayers. And please don't hesitate to vent here. Ever.

Omg WA, what a beautiful letter!!! I teared up reading it! Just beautiful. : )

I will keep Mandy in my prayers.

1.9 magnitude earthquake 4 km from Brawley, California, United States

Starting again?

Looks like the small magnitude quakes haven't stopped there.

I think it is this one USGS shows it as 1.3 but it was the only one registered in the LA drum

Thank you, and I also hope things with your daughter go ok. Beautiful letter from your husband too. :)


I managed my Grandmother's health issues, and Alzheimer/dementia for over 5 years. Always weekly for meds, all Dr appointments, and sometimes daily for months on end during major health issues. All while homeschooling my son too. We had a special bond, it was always a pleasure and easy to do everything I could for her. The hardest times were sadness at her recognizing the loss of her clarity, the worry during each health issue, and frustration with 24 hour nursing care when needed. My Mother, even though she lived closer to my Grandmother (her mother) never was involved. Truthfully, I never felt resentment for that though. I felt better handling things myself frankly. lol.. My Grandmother was always more of a Mother figure, and I still consider her my best friend. She passed in 2011.

With my Mother it is difficult. She had me at 15, and struggled as a Mother. I left home at 14 myself. My brother left at 11 to live with his father across the country. By the age of 30, she was done raising kids under her roof. She is an intelligent woman, years ago she was very involved in real estate, including being the first woman president of the board of realtors. I do carry resentment about her parenting, I imagine it will always be something I carry, as years of trying to dump it has never worked. But I do love her, I do have a relationship with her, but she frustrates me easily. The past 10 years has become difficult, she became reclusive, and refused help, and has created an environment that makes these health issues even more daunting, concerning after care and moving forward with a new lifestyle. All of which I realize are my responsibility to manage. I can see it will be much harder on me mentally and physically than it was with my Grandmother. I pray for patience, and empathy.

More than 100 earthquakes have hit the region this weekend, but most are too weak, under 2.5 magnitude, to be noticed by people, said Donyelle Davis, spokeswoman for the United States Geological Survey.
Weak quakes can trigger a bigger, more dangerous quake, but Brawley, a city of about 25,000 people near the Mexican border, is too far from the San Andreas Fault for that to be much of a risk, Davis said.

God Bless I started this if ever you need

Thread: Are You A Caregiver?

I saved it to my favorites. I think in many ways it is more challenging than parenting even! Much respect to those that handle it with strength and grace. It is some of the hardest work out there, especially with family members.

I have tons of respect for caregivers. I've yet to have to do it personally (aside from one week when I took my grandmother in after she had an accident and really hurt herself), but I've been close with others who have had to do it full time, for a long time, and have seen the toll it takes on the caregiver. It's a lot of work, both physically and emotionally/mentally when it's family. But I too will absolutely be there for my parents when the day comes.

Nice thread GFG. I just read through it. : )
