Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I am home and glad to be here. I had my Remicade appointment on Monday and am feeling somewhat better. I know the rests of my aches are from having climbed too many stairs when at Mom's but you do what you have to do. Also, the weather is so damp here. 55 but water in the air. I am so grateful to Tess for setting up the xmas list. Receiving those xmas cards was a great boost. My Mother isn't the easiest person to live with and being away from my home during the holidays was hard - they lifted me up each time one came. My Mother hopefully will be okay. They put in a pacemaker and she will be seeing a new cardiologist now. She now has more people coming to visit her each day so she will be properly taken care of and I can stay home. I have her set up with Lifeline and she has a nurse coming once a week to check all her vitals. She has a young lady coming each day to take care of the dogs. The dogs are 6 -show dogs - that live downstairs in the finished basement. They live in exercise pens by day and then night crates to sleep in. Lifting them out of the night pens to put them outside each morning was very difficult for me but at present impossible for my Mom. The young lady is coming each morning to take them out of the night crates then exercise them and put them in the day pens. She is bringing one up(12) stairs to be in a day pen upstairs each day to keep my Mom company. Then she comes back each night to feed - exercise and clean up any mess and put them in the night crates for the night. My Mom's Post office lady who lives up the street is coming every other day to bring her mail to her and she has her husband plowing out Mom's driveway of snow as needed. So, I should be able to relax about her shouldn't I. I hope so...lol I am on to cleaning up my house again. Have to reclaim it from the animals. Jay didn't get to much done and all the floors have to be steam cleaned and walls washed. I have the quilts I hang for window covers all washed and back in place. We have a super bowl party each year and I have to have the house ready for then. Anyone with over 3 cats knows what they can do to a house if you let them go...lol Praying for everyone to have a good day. Send some Sun my way. I am taking my Lortab and getting to work - at least if the pain comes I won't feel it....lol God bless, Althea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
