Good morning everyone!

Work yesterday kicked my backside...DH said he got home at 5:30 and I was already sound asleep on the couch. Woke up around midnight long enough to eat a bowl of cereal then fell asleep again. More heavy cleaning to do today and another food truck for the restaurant coming in...I need more coffee!

Sharron, hope your test results come out good so you can get off some of the medication.

You all take care, miss you guys! :frow

yes dd, altho at first she talked about "moving", she thought she had a choice but husband couldn't take it any more and i was caught in the middle but she pitched one too many fits with me and i just couldn't take it any more either, the last time we were over 500 miles into the trip when son called and said she fell and now wouldn't get up out of her bed, told him to call the ambulance and we turned around and drove the 500 miles back, went to the hospital and she started on me, it was my fault she was in the hospital, that i called them to take her, tried talking to her but she just wouldn't believe me so i called the manager at the nursing home to take her when she was discharged, she picked her up and thats where shes at now, finally turned back into my sister by the time we got back from florida( melissa told us to go, she didn't want us to come until shirley settled down and got used to the place, big guilt trip ,still fill so guilty about not taking care of her but just can't do it :hit

How old is your sister? I went through similar feelings after my mom passed, and was asked to take care of my mentally handicapped sister. I had her for 2 years. I felt pretty guilty for placing her. I'm guardian of her. Still going through a lot because of being guardian. She is now in full renal failure. I finally got her started on dialysis..just in time it seems. Wow..what a difference it's made for her. She is in a temporary nursing facility that can handle ports..in the neck. She has a fishula that will be looked at to see if it is ready to use in a couple of weeks. Then, back to where she was. I don't care for that place. :(. Want to see if there is a place that can take her in my town.

I will be following along with you on the diabetes issue, my A1C was high last fall. It was the first time I had it checked and was a health fair type of deal. I spent my whole life with low blood sugar and suddenly now it's high. (?) My lifestyle has slowed down considerably since I retired and now I cook 3 times a day, gotta figure out how to tweak things to a healthier mode. Hope you will share your tips and pointers!

i sure will, but i cook alot of keto , no sugar, flour or potatoes or anything that has a lot of carbs, check everything i buy for the amount of sugar and carbs, when i want sweets i cook things keto, after awhile regular sugar taste too sweet and not good to me, i make bread from almond flour or coconut flour mixed together sometimes. my downfall is diet mt.dew or dr.pepper, i also drink unsweetened tea and coffee, trying thats all i can say.:confused:

its hard isn't it, altho my sister isn't mentally handicapped, she does have dementia, before i placed her, she would go to bed and not get up except to drink some water or go to the bathroom(that got worse, wore diapers and then wouldn't get up), she wanted to die, i hear her talking to herself asking God to please let her die. i didn't push her to eat the first time until she went a week , her room smelt terrible so i made her get up, go to the table, fixed her chicken noodle soup and made her eat a cup while i cleaned and washed her bed clothes and other clothes, after that it was a fight everytime, she wouldn't eat.
i looked at several places, a lot of them couldn't afford but this one isn't top notch but the staff is kind to her and puts up with her temper tantrums, talking her into a better mood.
maybe you can try to find another place altho i know its hard to find a good one that affordable:hugs
forgot to say, she will be 82 this coming sept

Done with work for today. Boy, this all seems a lot harder this year than last. Maybe it's that one year older thing. Did feel pretty good though that the gal that's working with me is 10 years younger and didn't do any better than me (is that bad of me?).

Sharron, Cynthia....that's a tough spot you're both in. For right now, my mom is able to care for my handicapped nephew in her home but some day my brother & I will be in a similar situation with him.

We're looking at rain turning into snow overnight. Might get from 3" to 6" snow before it's done. Hey, on the bright side...might not have to work tomorrow!
