Good Morning All:
Welcome aboard Jim, bathing beauties is what we need as long as the men do not wear speedos' . In my old age I still have a vestage of good outer wear at the pool and beach. Surely, I do not want you to wear the old type of bathing outfits of yore with long pants and vests. As far as the drink after, good on you. Why break tradition.
Adopted Son, I thought I was the only one who got rid of any mirrors that showed more of my body from the neck down. I close my eyes as I pass the windows on the department stores as what I see is this strange looking elderly woman pushing her walker or shopping basket. I don't know who she is but she sure follows me around.
Old bat - I remembered your true name. Trust all is well with you.
Here we had a number of bad days and I had to call the crisis line, just to talk to someone as it was 6:00 p.m. and I knew the kids were having dinner and had been over earlier in the day and John looked so great. Then, he took a turn for the worse. Seems when he eats he cannot breath, has chest pains, etc. etc. So into action and then wait until he goes to sleep and I can breath. One more turn and he got through it. Called our Citys' crisis line just to vent for a moment as I had a moment of "is this it?" Just to hear another voice and share a moment of despair. Got over that and back to the routine.
John was too ill to have his hair cut last week so the Hair On Wheels lady is coming over at 10:00 a.m. and he will have it cut and of course he said> For the last time." I surely do not know what is keeping him going but he seems to have some extra spirit that keeps him going after his many relapses so we deal with it one day at a time.
Old Bat: Thanks for the info about putting my letter into other communicaiton venus. I did email it to one of the larger and province wide newspaper, however, forgot to buy the Sunday paper. Monday, my friend emailed me and said it was in the newspaper. Good on that. Tried to find it on their website but to no avail. She is sending me the whole page so I can see their theading. The heading for my letter in the local paper said: Support better home care." Will have to get the paper to-day and see if there was any response.
To-morrow, I am going out with a friend for the 4 hours respite I have. Might go to the Casino and see if I can win a fortune, if not we will go for lunch and visit our friend who has just had her breast cancer surgery. Every where you turn it seems someone is worse off than yourself so I try to keep on top of my feelings.
Off I go, John is sitting in the living room listening to the morning news. He wanted to shave this a.m. and I will attend to that.
Take care and remember you know who loves you best: The Tax Man.
Hugs to all.
