Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Carol- Great seeing posts from you. I had wondered where you were and now realize see you were in LaLa Land removed from LewyLand. So very happy you got some much needed rest. Please share your stories of the manatees should you get out and see some. I took my truck through a drive thru car wash Friday and want to report I didn't see any chaired people going through. I shall put in my vote in the suggestion box where I got the truck washed. I think it's a wonderful idea. And as wide as the stalls are they could line them up side by side and have multiple washings. :-)) Sending along hugs from Iowa- Sandie Des Moines, IA dad, Merle, passed away from LBD 9-20-02, age 65 mum, Jo, (MIL) passed away from LBD 4-29-07, age 78 -- Re: AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! - depression depression makes us more susceptible to pain, or vice versa! i go to the feed store and get Absorbine for horses. it is linament that feels cold when you first apply and then turns warm. i use it on my forehead for sinus headaches, my calves for aching legs, and shoulers, etc. it is so much cheaper than people med, and i carry it on every trip i take. if i sit too long, my legs give me a fit. I have to take it to conferences, as all that sitting in hotel conference chairs absolutely stiffens me up! we must not underestimate what the stress is doing to us. this might be the time to do the stress websites. we all have some symptoms of post traumatic stress syndrome, and just regular stress factors. some of us are in deeper doo-doo than others. I told you before, " Poop Rules! " . Some of us are being ruled by the poop we are in right now. I am the cymbalta commercial personified. i take prozac because it is the best at reducing one level of pain. the fog is finally lifting, and so I may get out to visit with the manatees for a little bit. i have to introduce the new caregiver to Millie this afternoon. Fortunately, Millie still mostly just needs a companion, and not a nurse. I got to talk with the nephew from Alaska, the RN, and he complimented me on the care I was giving his grandma. He hadn't seen her in about a year, and so his mostly noticed her weight loss and the dialation of her eyes. I need to ask him what that signifies. Anybody out there know the answer to that? thanks for keeping me visible as a caregiver, by letting me write to y'all. Emma, I feel for you! Hang in there.
