Imagine loving someone so much that can&;t speak words, doesn&;t know who you are, doesn&;t understand simple instructions, has to be bathed and changed by a stranger, doesn&;t realize what is going on and has the mentality now of a 4 year old. She is now to the point where her blood pressure is hard to maintain and has to stay in bed a lot of the time. She can&;t toilet herself and so must be cleaned all the time. This last month she has been in bed more than out of it and is starting to develop bed sores on her butt. I&;m doing everything I can to prevent them but the bruising that is a precursor to them has started. What started our realization that her blood pressure was dropping dangerously low is that she fainted dead away at the kitchen table. Ended up having to let her lie on the kitchen floor until she woke up and had to have three people to help me get her back into bed. She is on hospice and has someone that comes weekday mornings to give her a bed bath but it&;s all me on the weekends and throughout the day and evenings. My mom weighs around 275 pounds and is very hard to transfer. I have to get my daughter&;s to help me when I have to do it. She doesn&;t like it when they help and tends to fight them. Has pushed, hit and tried to break their fingers at times. The fact is she is nearing the end. Also imagine that you sleep in the same room with her and are hoping every morning that she will still be alive when you wake up. This is just a fraction of what I deal with every day. So to answer your question... yes, it is difficult, exhausting and stressful.

I see...

Day 402 a Baking Starter Kit

My grandmother is like that. It was only a few months ago she could so much as get up. If she passes, I'll miss the once joyful woman I barely remember as a child. But I look forward to seeing her again, as she was meant to be.

Yes it's true I will see her again some day but I will miss her. It's selfish of me as she has no real quality of life and all her memories are gone but I just don't want it to happen so close to my sister dying. She sleeps most of the time which is a good thing. Doc says her dream state is so much better than her reality. Going to talk to her nurse today about possible therapy or exercises for her legs.

You're lucky! All I do is dream and can't get into a deep dreamless sleep. One of the reasons I'm so tired all the time. No restful sleep.

Still a nightmare, I feel inhuman that way. But yes, I can wake up at dawn everyday. Makes weekends a hassle, everyone's early is my midday.

I'll be resuming my chores in a bit. See you later.

216 days in a row! You found 5 Recycle Beast Points

They finally changed some items to be edible! (though too late for Sam). (you HA is looking a little green around the gills ;) )

Oh! That's harsh! I wish you restful sleep! By the way, I love your HA today!

After reading what you wrote, I am reminded that I am so Blessed to be living in a single housing unit. (well, 2 really, they built on to our house. But daughter's family is simply more of our own).

Baked potato?

Ach! Work!

Yes,you are blessed. It's not to bad really.You just adjust your temp so your comfortable.It doesn't really make a difference if you use the heat or the AC.Both The heat & AC are electric.Like last night I turned the AC on 72.So the bottom neighbor has their heat temp up high. The top one has moved unless they left theirs heat on high when they moved out.That could be a possibility. Hugsss do you ever open the window a crack so your comfortable?

I have such heat/cold issues! I don't sleep well when I am too hot but the noise of the fan bothers me also. Yeesh! It doesn't get freezing cold here, I am SO THANKFUL not to be in Ohio anymore: I was so cold for those 10 winters! I still shudder when I think about driving to work, with a blanket on my legs and having to pull over and scrape off the ice because my breathing would condense on the glass, and the windshield wipers couldn't remove the ice that collected on the outside. Mercy!

Where you at Lady friend? I was so tired last night, I went to work at 8:30 pm! It was great, I woke up at 5:00 and only hit the snooze once! :)

In winter it can get to the point that I sleep without blankets and open windows. Oddly in summer its the opposite.

Thanks y'all for the hugs! Yanno all hugs are accepted and returned twice as tight! ❤ JUst sat down here for a bit while waiting on laundry but finding it hard to keep my eyes open.

edit: That's the first Hydrys Bumbus I've seen and it's pretty darn cool if I might say so myself. Thanks y'all for the compliments on the HA. Been kinda just wanting to hang out in my wardrobe lately. Not wanting to just buzz around here. I have about 4 or 5 HA's saved up now and ready to go. Got my Vesnali Ha's all queued up!

It'll go well with the character I might try to develop. A lot of solitary bees here, why not solitary Bumbii? Still need a name...
