Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

I only been trying for 3 yrs. or more. I was trying the tolbunt and I just give up on them. I have one pr. of them still but she aint feeling good and I would swap him for the other roo but he is too mean. He leaves scars on us.

Here's one you might both get a smile out of:

Dad also had a stroke, and lost his ability to speak for some time. He was being taught to speak again. One day his therapist held up a deck of flash cards, & he was supposed to tell what the picture on the top card was. It happened to be a car. He said "57". She says "No, try again". He repeats "57". She says "No, it's a car". Showing his frustration, he says "It's a 57 Chevrolet, dammit" He was right. The car was made before the therapist was!

that is awesome..

Quote: No, it sure doesn't. Mom predeceased him by 3 years, & he'd gotten to the point that we were afraid he'd burn his house down with him in it; he'd forget to turn the stove off. He watched Mom die in a nursing home of pancreatic cancer, and he wanted no parts of a nursing home; neither did I, so we brought him up here. It wasn't easy, but we had a woman coming in for him 5 days a week, and Hospice toward the end, so it could've been a lot worse. I still carry on conversations with them in dreams, then realize they're both gone & wake myself up.

Wishings MIL is battling the same cancer right now. Mom had hospice at home too but they only come couple times a week for an hr. then later they come every day. I did everything needed done. I dont ever want to see that again.

the day before she passed she was talking to someone all day . staring at a spot on the wall and she said, No, I believe I will wait just a little while longer. Those were her last words.
I see her everywhere in this house.
