Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank


Dear Ms Deb, i feel for you from the very bottom of my heart. My own scars are still, years later, so fresh im still crying after reading your post And taking a breather. I sleep w the pillow my grandma used while i cared for her and that gives me comfort. Most of it is a blur but I remember her calling out for her father, and the circular talks like youve described, tho i believe i wouldve caved much sooner if she had been asking for death. I slept next to her until she got the hospice hospital bed because she couldnt remember that she couldnt walk or what had happened to make that happen. If i was as strong as you are, she may have lived longer.
 
rrrr

Each human has a time to die... Hind sight is best left behind.... After a nights sleep I am better. But Have that numb guard still slammed down good. Grandma still can get up and go to the bathroom in the night and Gets about pretty good with her walker...
Gave me false encouragement...

so we will see.

Sniff... I am ready to talk about something else if thats ok?

Love you All

Did I mention that kid 4 went down with the flu?

Well... looks like kid 5 is about to keel over with it... kid 4 is still out ..


Kid 3 is FINALLY breathing! His oxygen count is now 95! (Below 90 is hospital... on Tuesday, after a bunch of drugs at the doctor's office he got to 90).

And his heart rate is finally coming down a bit to better levels... all of the steroids plus the albuterol was shooting up his heart rate. And he was drinking a bit of caffeine too since that also helps breathing. :rolleyes:

Tomorrow we are supposed to drive up (2 hours 1 way) to graduation for kid 2..... and deliver the ducklings and chicks that I hatched for a friend.

Might leave a few kids home :barnie
Glad kid 2 is doing better... :love
So sorry about the others.. hope you and spouse dont get it! :fl

they're predicting four more days of rain in a row. This is going to be my backyard pretty soon!

Soooo, today I was at the sale barn and made a split second decision to bid on a nanny... I think she’s a pretty good looking nanny. A little wormy maybe and slightly deficient in something minerals but overall nice. It wasn’t until I got her home that I realized after watching my sister bid on goats 5-6 times I had picked up some of her amazing eye for good goats. This one is quite friendly. :lau She’s obviously used to being handled a lot. Not ten minutes after putting her in quarantine she started rubbing on me.

Spouse was getting to sleep in... slowly get ready. . . Was going to leave 2 hours after I did. Graduating kid had to be there early for rehearsals.

Anyway. .. so I just had to call home, and they had to leave way sooner than they planned on.

But my stress level was through the roof.

I had to work HARD not to fall asleep on the way home.
 
I think about going from bathing, excellent paved roads, running water and good sewage to sewage in the streets, dirt tracks AND no one washing ever!
I know it's crazy...... Yet it's always fascinated me.
The list of all the great thing they engineered.
The architecture.....etc.
I mean they had the infrastructure to accommodate a million people in Rome.
 
I think infrastructure failure was part of that... Their water pipes were made of lead.
deb
So were ours back in the day..... That's why doing had so many issues today.
I'm not real sure though perchie my
I didn't think they drank a lot of water then as mean and wine were safer... Granted they had to get the water somewhere. But I don't know for sure that it was through lead pipes or not.
I never read much about the water system.
I just think they went down from massive mismanagement of money and the over burdens of war.
It's seems to me it wasn't one thing.... But many things over time that brought Rome down..... Like the saying days Rome wasn't built in a day.... It didn't fall in a day either.
But the popes got so much power that they brought about the dark ages.
I just picked up a book that is about the rise of Western Civilization.... I'm gonna really look into this.

I used to take theopholin.... Basically a caffeine type drug when I first got asthma not sure if they still prescribe it or not.
I would think there are more effective meds now.
I know it's been a long time since I took it.
Prednisone had kept my lungs in check for years. But not t real good for you.
I'm thinking about starting to come off of it.
See how stable my lungs are....
