grannys gone and done it

[Granny Hatchet]

my Shadow, there is something wrong.

we just lost my sons cat and now it seems as he is going downhill as well. I think he may be having strokes. this is the 3rd time in a week I have seen him walking sideways. they were/are both the same age.first time I thought he may of jumped off the dryer where his food is and injured himself but then in a couple min. it was gone. he lost a fang I noticed about the same time. didnt want to eat but hungry so I went with the canned food. he is eating good now. been reading on it and there is a way to tell so I showed Robert what to look for if it happens again. my step-daughter has been in the hospital for over a week now and they still dont know what is wrong w/ her and tonight my grandson is admitted to the hospital. I just dont understand it all. Tom tried to take the car keys from me today and take me to hospital but i threw a fit. nothing they can do for me except drug me up and i am done with that. had enough of those pills when i had surgery. Sorry to rant but what the heck ! when is something wonderful going to happen ? I have been told if you never know what pain and sorrow is then yo will never understand the meaning of joy. went to cemetery today. still nothing up for my mom but did see something pretty disturbing. there were numerous graves that had been dug up. I think i counted at least 15. the name of the place is Grandview memorial in Madison In. if any one wants to take a look.

You bought fried chicken livers? And ate them? That does not sound good!
So sorry things aren't going well Granny, it seems like when it rains it pours. Praying things get better soon. Not the best pic hers my kitty sitting on the table by our tree. I'm surprised she hasn't broke anything yet! Lol

Granny I wonder if people are so mad at the cemetery keeper they are moving their loved ones.

Granny, so sorry for all your family troubles.

When things happen one at a time, you can handle it, but when everything piles on it is so much harder and gets overwhelming. Your pile is pretty big right now! You are doing what you can. You have to try not to stress over things you can't control. You've taken good care of the kitty, giving him canned food. Not much else you can do for an older cat. Hardest thing about having pets is knowing they will die before us. Seems like everyone is getting hospital care that needs it, so that's good too. Except for maybe you. Why did your husband want you to go in? Are you worse?

Pretty tree suzierd, love the cat. she is tiny ! Chicken livers are good !!! as far as the cemetery,there is a law suit going on concerning drainage tiles and people not being buried in the correct coffin . the people must of won would be my guess. I will never get a date and vase on my moms now. she is in those above ground things with my sister. wishing , my bones are shot. my shoulder is still hurting and cracking but the reason he wanted me to go was because i walked through wal-mart and I just couldnt do any more. I couldnt go pay. I would of had to leave everything we had picked out because i was in great pain. my legs go numb when i stand on them for a while and then they burn so bad. my back as well. That is why i got excited when mrsc said she was having a nerve cut. it would stop the pain. she is having that done today by the way. Thinking of you mrsc, hope all goes well. So, all the hospital would of done was drug me up. I can do that at home. thank you for your concern. I have been on low dose prednisone for probably 30 yrs. it takes a toll on the bones.

Oh granny, how terrible. My mother in law has had 3 surgeries on her back and neck and the pain for her was awful, before and after. But, at 80+ yrs, she is still walking, and that was her goal. Hope mrsc has good results from her procedure. Can you see a specialist? Maybe there is something, other than drugs, that can help you. I get sciatica pains in my leg and think I also have arthritis in my hip that causes aches. Uncomfortable to sit for long periods and the only place I can lie down without hurting is the sofa. Can't lie on my side for long cause it kills my hips and lying flat on my back hurts too. Can't go face down because I'd suffocate! Needless to say, I am a very restless sleeper. Still, I think my problems are minor compared to what you are suffering with. You sound like a person who likes to keep busy too, like my m.i.l., always on the go. Never seen her as frustrated as she was when forced to rest. Wish there was some way I could help you.

aww, thank you hun. yes i love to keep busy . mentally and physically and now i cant and it is driving me nuts. if it werent for this computer and all of you to talk with i would be at the funny farm. friend came over for my son today and i went with them for the first time. It was really nice ! they took the wheel chair and we went through the whole store ! I dont know what you call it. I call it a junk store but not like goodwill. people rent spaces? I bought my son a sword necklace , her kids a ton of barbies and trucks for .50 to a dollar and for myself , i found a green glass hobnob bell and 2 little polish statues about 3 in. tall. white headed blue. LOL oh, and i bought the dogs a couple stuffed animals. LOL I didnt find anything Tom would like.

really enjoyed myself though. and we went to DQ afterwards. mmm...

missed part of your post . about the pain. I have tried a few things and i wont take a pain pill until I am in tears. I did the heat and cold, I went to the bone dr. and they did the injections . very painful by the way. he told me, it will hurt worse for a few days then feel better. think he did bout 5 over a course of a month or more. not really remembering but now i have a water "bubble" on my tail bone and i know thats what it is from. same spot as where the meds. went. same time. I think it didnt absorb. different bone dr. told me my sockets were just all wore down to where things just slip out. when this last dr. did my foot he said there were bone fragments just kinda floating around in there. guess thats why i keep getting kidney stones. as hard as i worked my whole life, doing mans work you would think I would be stronger then i am. I started going down hill after my first heart attack. thats when i noticed my muscle and such was very weak. well, I cooked dinner and did my job well again,

it has made Tom sick. last time it was me. the last of my pepto is gone now (sigh) not a tums to be found. it was a corned beef with way too much fat on it. I didnt serve the fat but didnt matter. it had cooked into the meat i guess. btw, I have NEVER been able to lay on my stomach. looks like a teeter totter. I highly recommend the cool gel memory foam topper. 3 IN. I believe you will be able to sleep on your side again and always sleep with a pillow between your knees. and hugging one as well. I did a little arranging with my pillow. I will try to explain. take your 4 corners and tuck them into the pillow so you end up with a V on each end but at the tip, make that part a bit straight across. so basically sewing the 4 corners shut. It fluffs your pillow , makes it so the corner isnt poking you in the neck when your on your side and leaves a place to rest your arm you are laying on propped up enough so it dont go to sleep. I hope that makes sense. pillow case is wonky but its not a big deal.

Tom not the only one sick from dinner. just took me longer. Looks like a grilled cheese kind of day for me. this is 2 dinners in a row i have cooked . I am very clean with my cooking. everything is disinfected including my hands. and these are sealed products. canned food bought new. the only thing i can think of that is left is the fact our systems are rebelling from fast food to home made. LOL I was excited to go out last night and it was time for my meds. I took my morning meds again instead of my night time and now i have none to take. the pharmacy said they would get me some out here. no wonder I was so tired . too much blood pressure med.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day full of happy thoughts and surprises around every corner.

Well I don't have friendly lap chickens anymore. I picked up my favorite pullet today and she bit me! She's one that I always used for new people, to prove how friendly chickens can be. I'd wanted to bring the chickens to my kid's kindergarten class for a hands-on chicken lesson, but that doesn't seem like a good idea now. Guess I need more young pullets.
