Yes, listen to CC, she has some good advice !!!
She learned it all from me !!!
I don't know Bigfam, CC just might have an edge on you as far as a gift to gab as our LLLCW spokesperson !!! lol
Man I am stress out with all of this Auntie business. I feel so bad for my sister. She is doing this all alone. She is the President of our Sister Club though. She has been in management all of her career and excels at it but holy
Cr@p I don't envy her postition.
My Aunt was moved into an Assisted living facility on Thursday for about a month to see how she does. My sister says she does not like the place at all (sister doesn't) and my Aunt hates it. Understandably so !!!
She is cussing my sister out for putting her there, Telling her she hopes the same thing happens to her one day. My sister keeps telling her she has to get her house cleaned and set up for home health care to come then she can go home.
We are afraid that may not happen though. It is so sad. She is so depressed.
Then when she went to the dinning room for breakfast today she says to her breakfast partner Elaine, that she looks around and see's all of these old ladies sitting around like Zombies !!
And all of their money is being sucked out of them !!! That part is true !!
She was in the clothes as yesterday. They only check up on her every 2 hours. But more then she would get at home !!
So I called her this morning and she can't hear me on the cel phone, then when I say the wrong thing to her she started yelling at me. If she could have figured out how to hang up the phone she would have.
I have so many mixed feelings about all of this, why this has to happen to people etc. my head is spinning. She will be happiest in her home but the care I'm sure wouldn't be as good as a nursing home, or well maybe it would be ????? But either way her quality of life sucks. She is almost blind in her Good eye and totally blind in her other eye. She can't hear very well and seems to be weaker since they put her on lasix.
Her Quality of life sucks !! Period. What can you say to someone in that sitution. She will be 90 in July !!
I am so frustrated that there is nothing I can do for her and there is no way to talk to her right now to lighten her spirits !!! I'm sure when I go down next weekend I will get cussed out too. Remember she worked in a factory !!! And I think she taught a lot of the guys how to swear !!!
Have no idea why the good man upstairs makes people go through this. And please don't tell me that he has a plan !!! When my parents were murdered and my brother in law went to a grief counsler at a Catholic Charities, they said "God Has a Plan" , he never went back.
I don't mean to start anything here about that, please don't read that into it. I'm just so overwhelmed right now. And I feel worse for my sister then my Aunt if that makes sense. She works full time and there is no way my Aunt could come live with her at this point. We have all offered her that option in the past and Auntie refused.She has been the most independent woman I have ever met. She is smart and stubborn too. Geeezzz !!!
Anyway, sorry for the long, depressing post. I feel like you all are my family now, I just needed to vent !!! Thank you all !!!
Oh and I told my sister about the little Pony I bought for her Grand daughter Addie and sent her pictures. I'm sure that will cheer her up !!! We grew up wanting horses our whole lives and finally we both got them 5 yrs ago. I told her that little girl may or may not want a pony but she is going to have the choice. So far she loves to look at them in books.
Hopefully this summer she can make it up here and see Auntie Sandi's petting Hobby Farm. Hope all of the animals don't scare her !!
That reminds me, I'm going to make a little picture book for her and my Auntie of all of my animals.
Ok, gotta go outside and start one of several projects with DH. One is to get an area picked out for the Pigs Pen. The little ones are getting to big for the house !!!
Ps, Another reason today is so stressful. My older brother who was born with CP passed away 10 years ago today. He was only 51 yrs old. He has a asma and was allergic to cats. He went to a friends house for St patricks day and kept having attacks from their cats. They brought him outside for fresh air and kept giving him his asthma treatments but he had a heart attack.
That was 4 days after the PD found the person who murdered my parents. I'm glad my brother knew they found out who did this. My brother had the long criminal background list in his pocket of this individual to show his friends.
So it is a sad day for sure. Maybe a good cry is in order. Might make me feel better.
Being half german with with stoic tendencies makes that hard to do sometimes !!! LOL
Thanks for Listening guys, I luv ya all !!! You too Doc !!!!
