My leukemia's back.

Visits home were always a nice break when I was in college. Even though they usually involved doing my laundry - for free. lol
@bruceha2000 Hope the visit is good.

Sounds like she isn't a lot different than my DD1. She is coming home on break Saturday. We hear almost nothing from her other than she is really busy (so busy I had to look up flights and suggest something to her). We are worried that her permanent migraine is flaring and since we can't see her we don't know. DW was lamenting that last night. Said she's spent so many years being able to tell how DD was just by looking at her that she is going through withdrawal. No news is supposed to be good news and I hope it is. I'll see when I pick her up in Montreal at noon Saturday.

Some restaurants I won't eat at because I know at some point I will need to use the little girls room (just for me I'm sure) and I'm NOT going there!!!

I think that if the restaurant bathrooms were that gross I would be making assumptions about the kitchen as well. Probably a good decision to not eat there.

Even though they usually involved doing my laundry - for free. lol

That won't be happening, laundry in the dorms at her school is free. DD1 needed a lot of quarters each year when she went to Beloit.

bruce, I agree with you on restaurant bathrooms. If it's that bad, and they show no concern, then don't eat there, because they aren't going to be any cleaner in the kitchen. I eat in a sushi restaurant that the building is not new, and the bathroom fixtures are older, but it's very clean. They would actually remodel the bathrooms, but they rent the business space. I can attest to the fact their kitchen is clean too. I've been in it numerous times. I know the owners well.

Some people are VERY with the quality of what they provide/sell. Too bad not all are. I suspect owner operated are more likely to be very concerned with that.

Good morning, Team Rachel. Saw son and his family yesterday. Now that she is no longer in college, Jenny's health is rapidly improving. Stress, uncontrolled, can kill..... SOUR........I get it. Have been reading how caregivers need to take care of themselves. It's true. Stress, is not a good thing for the body.

Hugs..helps with stress. That's true ya know.

How are you doing with care giving for your DH?

Hi Ron. Went to Neurologist yesterday. 3 month check up. The new medication he gave him is doing it's job for now! I told the Dr. that he hasn't been as good with memory, but, I can see that he's leveled out with speech. He is happy, that makes me happy. The not being able to drive really upset him for a while, but he's getting used to me driving him around. Tells me thank you for driving him. Anyway, Nuero. says..6 months for next appt. Instead of 3.

@Cynthia12, given what you/he are dealing with, that is a good update. Both of my BIL suffered with Alzheimers. I am fully aware what it does to the person and to the caretakers.
