Re: Alzheimers and Dimentia - B12 shots

[Guest guest]

I don't know how my daughter does it! . . .She truely loves her patients and their families. The nursing home is very upscale - mostly private pay - so the patients get excellent care. The goal of occupational therapy in a nursing home is to keep the patients able to take care of their personal needs as long as possible. Teaching the family how to reach through the mist is important too. She probably could make more elsewhere, but this place allows her to be extremely flexible with her schedule - which means a lot when you're sole support for a family of five. Her hubby finishes his accounting degree in December - and has a wonderful job waiting for him. Many, many prayers have been answered!

Thanks Sunny, I'm very proud of my daughter! . . . She has always been one that would give someone less fortunate whatever she has. A very special, gifted, woman! My arm is very frustrating - I fear that some nerves were affected by the cast. Hopefully that will go away with time. Lots of stinging/burning sensations that aren't near the break. I'm spending my time archiving old photos, and now old movies, to share with the family. Lots of happy memories! Seeing my kids enjoy the photos over the holiday made it all worth while! Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene, don't our children bring us joy? I'm grateful to be a Mom

and Grandmom.

I hope your arm continues to heal, and you are left with no funny

sensations.

As I'm unpacking my boxes (STILL!) from my move from the country, I

am uncovering some awesome photos. I'm enlarging some of the

grandchildren and framing them for Christmas presents. Also, I'm

doing a project with old black & white pictures of my Mom's

childhood, and some of mine. I'm blowing up 4 x 6's and making them

8-1/2 x 11....my Mom can see them then! Oh, by the way....please pray

for my Mom....she found out from MRI results that she has torn

ligaments on her right shoulder. She has been in severe pain for the

past year. Her doctor is sending her to a specialist, and she may

have surgery early next year. I am nervous about that. So pray for

me, too!

I love & respect you for the work you do on this site.....keep up the

vigilance, Angel.

Your membership maintenance is your responsibility as a member of . There are directions on how to unsubscribe, (which were sent to your inbox upon joining), and it would probably be better if you learned the ropes of the membership and took care of that yourself.

However, I can at least help with the emails that you are getting. If I can find your name in our member list, I will change your deliver so that you won't get the emails in your inbox, and you can read the posts at the website. If you keep getting them, it's probably because I had a hard time finding you on the listing.

Any other changes you'd like to make, please read about those on the membership page adn take care of them as you wish.

Thanks Sunny . . . I don't think anyone who isn't a mother yet understands the bond between mothers and their children! . . . Such joy - and sometimes anxiety. We can't prevent them from making mistakes - and even if we could fix their mistakes, it's seldom wise to do so. My 18-year old grandson just signed up with the Navy for the ROTC program . . It breaks my heart to see him putting himself in harms way to get a college education when he doesn't have to. My arm is doing better . . . nerve sensations are calming down. Doc expects I'll be OK in a couple more months. . . .and I'll be happy if I am! Just a few days ago I was dispairing of the pain ever stopping! Love, Rogene

[Guest guest]

Rogene,

I just got this from my Navy son....would you like to pass this on to your grandson? I know how hard it is to see our loved ones serve in sacrificial ways, but I know you'll be proud of him. I am so proud of my son for doing what he is doing.

Re: Re: Alzheimers and Dimentia - B12 shots

Thanks Sunny . . .

I don't think anyone who isn't a mother yet understands the bond between mothers and their children! . . . Such joy - and sometimes anxiety. We can't prevent them from making mistakes - and even if we could fix their mistakes, it's seldom wise to do so.

My 18-year old grandson just signed up with the Navy for the ROTC program . . It breaks my heart to see him putting himself in harms way to get a college education when he doesn't have to.

My arm is doing better . . . nerve sensations are calming down. Doc expects I'll be OK in a couple more months. . . .and I'll be happy if I am! Just a few days ago I was dispairing of the pain ever stopping!

Love,

Rogene

LOL! . . .I'm sending this to him! I'm sure he'll be a better man for the experience, but he has no idea how he's going to hate it! - unless he develops some extreme adaptive skills! . . . He's so much like his father . . .His father was the one who influenced him into joining (like him) - - - Takes the responsibility off his dad for his college education . . . .His dad hated the Navy! - and I don't think they much cared for him! His step dad is taking a position with a university that will allow the kids a virtually free education! I think it's creating a emotional conflict - the Navy is his out. He wants to be an architect. I don't see that happening in the Navy. Rogene

[Guest guest]

Patty,

I know I just found out my 17 year old wants to join the marines

when he gets out of the youth Challenge boot camp in two weeks,

luckily I have to sign and I won;t but when he is 18 he can, I have

1 year to talk him into the navy or other service where he won't be

directly in the war.

Love and thanks to all the moms who have sons and daughters there

Rogene, I'm very grateful that your arm is doing better. It's good

to hear those weird sensations are going away.

Are you getting into the Christmas spirit...decorating, etc.? I have

a little tree that I have up 365 days a year...so I just put a few

new ornaments on it a few days ago. I rebel against Christmas only

coming once a year!

I just came back from the Bible College with my two little goats

today. , my new friend, drove me there in her mini-van and we

put down a tarp and a blanket, and the little sweeties just laid

there all the way to the farm, where they will be living!

took me with her this evening to entertain seniors at a

nursing home...what a gift that was! It's almost eerie! We just met

in person this a.m. and we sing together like we've practiced for

years!! I have found a new sister.

Bless you and yours,

Love, Sunny

I don't do a lot of decorating . . I like those that I can put out in one piece, rather than bits and pieces! Almost all our decorating is downstairs where we square dance twice a week - and where we put up house guests. Hauling decorations up from downstairs is a drag! We've given up on hanging exterior lights. They're lovely, but a pain to put out and take in. . .and certainly not worth a fall off the ladder! The neighborhood leaders would like everyone to put out certain decorations that my hubby refuses to go along with. He's not one to go with the crowd! I've painted a few "yard art" things that we put out - and have a choo-choo train still to be completed. One of those things that can always be done "tomorrow". I have so many interests that I tend to get sidetracked! . . I do wheel thrown and hand built pottery, work in stained glass, love photography and maintain a fully landscaped yard on a mountain side. I'm

planning to take a course in dichroic glass in February - and plan to get back to my oil painting some day. This broken arm is very frustrating! While my arm is healing, I've compiling old photos, and now movies, to put on DVD's. In general, life is good and I feel soooooo blessed to be able to pursue my interests!
