She’s got over 400 subscribers. She has been sent make to review and this week was offered a sponsorship. Even my Dad loves it.

Before that operation on his heart on December fifth at 88 my dad was as sharp as ever. He was given 6 months to live if he did not do it. Now he gets six years, supposedly. The dementia state he is now left with makes me wish he had six months as himself. I’m positive had he known, he would have agreed. Tonight my sister from his second wife is staying with him. It will give my sister (who has had my 90 year old Irish mom living there for years now) a break. Tomorrow he goes to the Hebrew Home for further tests. They’ve already done a lot of testing which said the dementia is even worse than we knew. If they admit him he can see if they can help him. The end game would be for him to live there. They have a lot of people with piano sing alongs and the like. I thought he would hate it at my sister’s. Wednesday we had to make him leave his apartment to go to Diane’s. He fought long and hard about it. The next day he was yelling to go home. But not anymore. I heard someone ask what he was doing. He responded, “I must be here for a reason.” He must. I hope you don’t mind me venting here. It’s not like I want to explain anything on Facebook. Thom did not ever return, but I did. I know. You’d rather it be Thom. I miss his bus. Until we met again, love somebody. And return here next time. Same time. Same blog.
Holy crap, I’m a glutton for punishment….I read all the way to the end. lol I’m a reader and book lover who had a librarian for a mother and even I found myself glassy-eyed and drooling over some of the questions. Manga? Dystopi-what-ian? Somebody was sure trying to impress someone. And yes, I do miss Thom and his bus. 😦
It’s just what I do. I really don’t care about impressing anyone. I just write comedy. And obviously, don’t read a lot of books. Thanks for stopping by!
I just could not get into this week’s meme. I have this horrendous cold that has taken over my brain. Good luck with everything 🙂
Thanks. We’re head there today.
Is getting a nurse for your dad a possibility? This is something my best friend shared with me as he went through turmoil with his family and I learned myself (the hard, painful way) that he’s right — a nurse treats the patient in front of her; she didn’t know the patient when he was happy and vibrant. It’s so much easier for a pro, if you can swing it. And it’s no less loving.
You built this damn cyber community. If you can’t whine here, no one can. We love you, Bud. Remember that.
Thanks so much. I just came from having dinner with my family. There’s not enough $$ for 24/7 care. But we will work something out. Thanks!
I didn’t know you wife was doing the Youtube thing! Good to know 🙂
Check out her on my facebook feed…
Oh, Bud! I was going to be all funny and clever and “aw gee” about you remembering that I’m a librarian…
And then I read about your dad. I’m so sorry–parenting our parents is hard. My heart is with you and you’re all in my prayers.
Thanks so much!
A book that you’ve cried over: “War & Peace” (I dropped it on my foot) That is so dagon funny!
You spoofed this whole thing! What a crack up!
And then I read about your dad. I’m so sorry that this has happened. They do not tell you that this happens. Brutal!
Nobody tokld me there would be days like this! Thanks…
Aww, Bud. The Gal said what I would have said about a nurse.
Thanks, Allison. We are hoping today he’ll be evaluated and given a room in a good place…
