Granny's gone and done it again

[Nomadicus]

I think I'll start calling my wife Widget now so she can get used to it. There is still time for me to go out like my kid brother did and Alzheimer's is heavy in my family. I know it came down from paternal grandparents. Meantime I need something for lunch. Been trying to coax my wife in off the porch in the cool and she will not stop what she is doing even oxygen wired in this excessive heat. She's as stubborn as I am most of the time.

If there was only a magic cure that would let people not want smokes. I watched my dad die a painful death at the age of 54 from lung cancer. Back then there was not as much known when he started smoking in the 20's. 75% of the population did back then as compared to 25% now. I have several friends that are heavy smokers and I so worry about them every day. One is in his mid 80's and he's already lost his wife to Alzheimer’s and is getting home health even to help him bathe now. It is so sad to watch a friend or family member waste away in pain.

colon cancer runs in my family strong. Ive lost many with that. Im sorry for your losses.

97° with a feels like 120° now so I'm off for a nap. That's my way to deal with it.

After my nap I'll get a picture of Rosie sporting her new diaper. Now she just jumped into her next box.

Hanging in there. Kinda.

My freaking head is feeling tender today. Sigh.
needs to not be a hundred freaking degrees too.
Had ads from a local breeder - one that I was considering before I found Sandy - saying they had some pups - showing up on my Insta and Facebook.

My heart is just all over the place right now.

When Scooter died, it was a blessing to have Pi already here. Was still heartbroken, but too busy to dwell on it for long.

I wish there was a way to test sugar without the stick in the finger. I used to keep my fingers sore until I got it down and leveled off. Now I just watch my A1C and it is always borderline. Trying to find that no sugar added ice cream but non in half gallons or gallons. They have it in pints for the price of a gallon. I eat a pint over two nights. It is the best thing to make my meds set well at night. That's my story and I'm not a gonna change it.

Breyers sells a "no sugar added" ice cream in the large containers. Not sure what they use to replace the sugar or how much you would get in a serving. They also have a low carb option that I get every once in a while.

for you Wishing LOL

Yes it is..or as he had to watch his wife disappear a little at a time with that Alzheimers. My husband was a clean man. When he started slowing down on showers I didn't realize it was because of the Alzheimers. Scott got more quiet once he was diagnosed. I couldn't always tell when he'd had a decline, and it happened so fast at times, big drops. So, I would tell him, I think it's time you showered..nothing. He declined rather quickly. I stopped to take note one day. Found out I could get hospice in to help even though it wasn't for end of life. They told us some things we could take advantage of. I accepted help from someone to help with...showers. I wasn't sure how he would feel about it. Well, he used a towel around himself for privacy to get in. Thought was to get him in then watch..well...with curtain closed..to make sure he was OK. He had been falling periodically. First day. He got in. He stood away from us staring at the wall and window..puts his arms out and asks..what now? I gasped. I almost fell to my knees. He didn't know what to do. I felt so bad for having asked him to shower. Bless his heart. Once he got started, he caught on. Then he got less embarrassed about being helped. I felt guilty for the longest time. He declined so quickly I found myself .. catching on sooner. Man Alzheimers/Dementia is a terrible disease.
