Granny's gone and done it again

Actually the quorum of the 12 get paid.

A living allowance, not a salary.

 

[Cynthia12]

From what I understand the presidency does get paid. Let me find you a reference

Again, a living allowance. No salary.
The purpose is to allow leaders to leave their careers and dedicate their full time to church service.
Funds for the living allowance come from the proceeds of the Church's financial investments, not from member tithing.

that was me and Google. It wasn't about the machine. I just googled his name

How about some hi protein ensure? That's what the Dr got Tom. 2 a day.

How old were you when he was born? I do know that feeling as well. Just another thing we have in common. lol

Such a sweet thing to read this morning. I remember the struggles you went thru. A lot of people couldn't of done what you did. I am proud of you and maybe some day you can tell me what happened after that to you??

I tried Ensure. Couldn't handle it. Too much sweet and cream.
I turned 40 2 months after he was born. So, I'll be 72 come November.

oh, Granny! So sorry that happened last night. No, he's not capable of making that decision. Hospice will provide help for you and comfort for him, that's how I see it. You call them when you realize you need help.

Ditto

Howdy all, Guess its not morning anymore. lol
Tom had a rough night. I didn't head to bed til after 1. I checked on him and he was sleeping peacefully. As soon as I laid down I heard him stirring. I thought about not getting up but glad I did. I found him sitting on the edge of his bed but his top half had tumbled over and his head was laying on the foot board. He wasn't even trying to get up. Sat him up, he fell back down. I called Robert in to get him in his wheelchair and pushed him out here to the living room and into his recliner. He is still sleeping but he did eat his breakfast. The housekeeper just left to pick up pizza and I will wake him when she gets back for noon meds.(late) And hopefully get him cleaned up and ready for Dr. tomorrow while I still have help. She will probably send him to the hospital and that's the last place he wanted to be. I don't know where to go from here. Can I have him put on hospice or is that something he decides or what?

Oh Granny. You've done so much. And, it gets to a point where you can only do so much. I agree with Blue.

No one person can do everything. Everybody needs some help sometimes. Even you, Granny.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time and I know the stress is horrible. Hospice is your next step. Talk to his doctor tomorrow, she may have to send a referral to hospice. They will provide help for Tom and support for you. They will do a full assessment of your needs and let you know your options. I worked for hospice before I retired they provide a great service.

My Austin is 32 today. My baby . Hard to believe how fast time goes by.

Tell him happy birthday for me. I have a granddaughter that is 36!

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I heard a rumor today that my oldest GS is about to make me (finally!) a GREAT-Grandma! But I don't know when.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Yes, Cynthia, Happy Birthday to Austin, your youngest!
