GreatKazu December 31, 2015 Share December 31, 2015 We live in San Diego and grandma cannot go to a nursing home. It will kill her and we've had enough death on our family right now. Sadly, it sounds like it might kill you first. And that is not good. I am late to the discussion here. I am deeply sorry for the guilt that has been put upon you. I am not sure if your grandma can be put in a nursing home or if there is some financial issue with that matter. If she can be put in one, it would be better for all to do so simply because the professionals in a nursing home are equipped to handle people who need that kind of assistance. As much as we love our loved ones, there comes the day when we may have to hand them over to someone who is qualified to care for them. I am not sure what you mean by the comment that it would kill your grandma. Unless the nursing home is some inadequate place that will cause your grandma to suffer because they won't feed her or tend to her medical needs, a nursing home is sometimes the better option than being tended to by three adults. I speak from experience. I had a sibling who was put in a nursing home. We did our best to take care of him, give him round-the-clock care and provide him with what we thought was a peaceful, loving atmosphere. Sadly, with us adults working, we found he was not receiving the proper care, even when we had a private nurse come by twice a day. It just became too much. We didn't allow the guilt to eat us up. We knew we did right by this sibling. I hope you think of the needs of yourself and your son. He is your priority and he needs you. Good luck. 4 Link to comment

Lura January 14, 2016 Share January 14, 2016 That makes two of us, walnutqueen. At one point yesterday, I read that the odds of winning were 1 in 19.5 million! I suggested to my husband that those were pretty stiff odds, but he bought a ticket anyway. 1 Link to comment
walnutqueen January 14, 2016 Share January 14, 2016 I read the odds at 1 in 292 million, which are about the odds of me winning anything other that the occasional $1 (every few years I get a dollar, that's it). Heck, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all! Wanna hear more? The other night I sprained my ankle ... IN MY FUCKING SLEEP. Yup, the same foot I torqued last January must have some weak-assed tendons or something, because the top of my foot and ankle are on the pain train, and I am icing, elevating and hobbling once again. I can hardly wait to see what the rest of 2016 has to offer - NOT! :-) 6 Link to comment

I've been sleeping in a recliner for well over a decade, because for whatever reason, a bed exacerbates my injuries and makes my arms go totally numb - I'm talking unable to get up without flopping around like a fish out of water. I know it sounds ridiculous, but there you have it. Another secret revealed! Just as well, since the mattress is total shit! Pretty sure I injured my ankle by getting my foot twisted in a flannel sheet. Oh, the ignominy!!! Old age = slower healing.

breezy424 January 22, 2016 Share January 22, 2016 So anyone else in the path of the blizzard that's going to start tomorrow night? I hate 'weather'. Past experience with trees coming down and power outages. I'm in high anxiety. I know it's not the worst thing in the world and I'm obsessing. On another note, and I thought of it when reading walnut queen's posts, we got a new mattress last week and although our 12 year old mattress was top quality and pretty darn comfortable, since sleeping in the new hybrid mattress I'm pretty much close to heaven when I go to bed. And.....my stiff back problems when getting up after sitting for a while have pretty much disappeared. I may be spending the next few days on that mattress under the covers if our power goes out. Oh, mattresses are freaking expensive. We do have a generator but my DH doesn't think this blizzard is a big deal and hasn't filled the gas cans to the top. Just pisses me off. I'm more of the thinking that the more I 'prepare' the less the impact. I know....I'm ranting. Thanks for listening Side note to walnut: Glad to hear your foot is feeling better. I expect at least the half block walk this Spring. 4 Link to comment

Waves hi from an area north and west of DC that could (according to some projections) get 30 inches.

Lura January 22, 2016 Share January 22, 2016 Lisin, I hope your weather doesn't turn out to be as bad as predicted. It's a daunting prospect to think about lines being down and traffic snarled, all because of the white stuff. Even though I live in CA, I have many memories of growing up and living in MA and OH until my mid-30s, and there's nothing like a snow storm in the Northeast -- unless it's an earthquake! Try to keep us posted on how you are. That goes for everyone else in the area, too. Hunker down and stay warm! 3 Link to comment

walnutqueen January 22, 2016 Share January 22, 2016 Breezy - if I had your mattress I might never get out of bed again! I'm so glad it is working out for you - if it helps your back, it is worth every penny. Oh, and I'll try the half-block walk this Spring, just for you (although here in sunny SoCal we hardly notice the change in the seasons, so I may miss your deadline!). :-D I'm wishing everyone in the path of this severe weather safe passage, and hope you can all hunker down with your loved ones and pets to ride out the storms. Stay safe, stay warm, and please let us know that you're all OK. 3 Link to comment

Bronzedog January 22, 2016 Share January 22, 2016 Blizzard Bitch here! I've already tested my new snow blower once. It's electric since I live in a townhouse and couldn't figure out where I could put a gas one for it to cool off without it being stolen. I'm not sure dealing with the electrical cords is worth it. I think I'm just going to shovel frequently. At the risk of sounding like the old fart, I remember when kids used to make money shoveling snow. Never happens in neighborhood. Actually my biggest fear, other than losing power, is my 15 inch tall cocker spaniel. He won't be walked in this. When he gets pissed off, he'll snuggle up, put his head in the crook of my neck and punch me in the face. Yeah, I'm going to be black and blue before this is over. 8 Link to comment

We have a poogle (half poodle, half beagle) and he's our first "small" dog and this is our first snow since getting him. Normally we don't have to worry about it as our other dog is a Rottie mix but it just dawned on us that we're going to have to tunnel out for the poor pup by the end of this! 5 Link to comment
Bronzedog January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 This is my first small dog too and it's a whole different ball game. I had a black lab and a golden retriever before and they were real people pleasers. This one demands that he be pleased, I'm just the maid. Fortunately, because the deck protects part of the backyard there's a relatively snow free area. Problem is, his majesty expects a walk. I love him and he's a really sweet, good dog, but, sometimes he's a little shit. 4 Link to comment
breezy424 January 23, 2016 Share January 23, 2016 Good luck Bronzedog! He may end up tunneling through the snow. Looks like we have about six inches but the wind has picked up but I don't see any real outages in the region. Looks like tomorrow morning is going to be the worst. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone that they don't lose power. 4 Link to comment
