Trudy, I am so very sorry to hear about GG. I know it's got to be tough on you. All the things you are saying are normal. I mean about being worried about him being home and such. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

FWM, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine losing my mom. Again, thoughts and prayers for you.

I broke my leg. How, I don't know. I just was unable to walk on it one day. Kept getting worse. They did an MRI and the bone is spit right down the middle in the inside. No cast, just total non weight bearing for the next four months. I'm sick of being in bed. I'm going to try to learn to crochet to pass the time. My husband has had to pick up the slack. I feel bad for him. He's working so much and then has to tend to other stuff. They gave me a wheelchair to get around in. I also take a lot of naps to pass the time. And am bing watching a bunch of shows. Anyway, I hope everyone else is okay. Have a great day.

I think we should rename this the pain thread!

FNW · Guru

I'll second that. #1 had an episode last night and tried to run away to kill himself. We had to pin him to the sofa. Took three of us.

TrudyML · Guru

What! OMG! Are you alright? Him?

FNW · Guru

I'm tired. I didn't sleep much. Too much adrenaline from it all. He freaked out on the driveway while playing basketball. His brother brought up God and he said if I make this shot there is no God. He missed it. He tried again, If I make this shot God hates me." He missed. DH said maybe not. He threw the ball, ran in the house, up to his room, punched the wall, threw his shoes against the door. Then he came downstairs and I gave him his evening meds. He yelled at me to shut the f up. I left him alone. DH sat in there with him until he told DH to leave the room. We stayed in the next room over and could hear he was doing something. He was getting his socks on. Claimed he was cold. So DH turned on the fireplace and gave him his jacket. started to leave the room then saw he was putting his shoes on. Said where are you going and he said I'm doing it. DH grabbed him and I helped and we got him to the sofa and DH pinned him. (HS and college wrestler). I pulled his arms behind his back so he couldn't lift himself up. I did it lovingly and swiftly that even #1 said, "oh, that was fancy." I kept massaging his arms and backs to try to calm him but he flinched. He kept trying to get up and kick so #2 held his legs down. We kept him there for about 1/2 hour until he said "fine." I gave him melatonin and within the hour he was asleep and we got him to go up to bed.

DH slept but snored all night and had weird dreams. I couldn't sleep. The alarm was on and we hid the faubs so he couldn't turn it off. Still, my adrenaline was up.

He had his second neurofeedback treatment and is giving up because it's not working instantly.

Ugh, Poor you guys. I am sad for him and you. Scary

Lindley · Guru

Awe I’ll keep Praying for him and you…..

That sounds so scary, FNW. I'll keep praying for him and your family.

I hope GG is doing better, Trudy. Prayers for him, and you, too.

I hope you have a quick recovery, NJN. That sounds painful. Prayers on the way.

This thread is quite sad. I hope we all have better days ahead.

Wayne and I are heading to Ohio tomorrow. We'll get back home next Sunday.

Mom is home. Private duty care givers. Trudy is there, and can stay until Easter, if need be.

I'll check in when I can.

Take care, everyone. smile

Beer for all!

I got a phone call today. My mom is on life support. I just can't right now. DH has been so loving. She's diabetic and her BS is always going low. Apparently it went high. Almost 2000 they said. My dad who has Alzheimer's got in the truck and went for help. He drove the truck into a ditch across the street. The neighbors saw him and went to help. They found my mom and called 911. My dad is total care. My SIL is there tonight. My older sister is flying in tomorrow morning to stay with him until another sister gets there Tuesday. Then one will go be with Mom and one will stay with dad. Only her POA is allowed to visit right now. There's nothing for me to do as of now. We expected my dad to go first. I've spent a lot of the day crying. Had to tell my kids. Sad.

This thread makes me cry.

Lindley · Guru

Njn, I’m so sorry 🌷

FNW · Guru

So much heartache here.

TrudyML · Guru

Yeah. I took GG to the market yesterday. He was so happy.

Lindley · Guru

I bet getting out and being amongst the world has done him a lot of good.

Offering prayers for all of you
makes me so grateful for all of
the blessings I have in my life.

Going to go fishing this Thursday -
its our 10th anniversary, and DH
is so excited.

Hugs to all of you.

New psychiatrist won't treat him on an outpatient basis, she wants him in residential.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Mom passed away at 7pm.

I was holding her hand, when she left us, to go to God.

I'm thankful she didn't suffer for long.

And died at home, the way she wanted to.

Wayne and I will be in Ohio a couple more days, to help Trudy sort things out.

We're still planning to head back to Texas Saturday...arrive home Sunday.

I appreciate the good thoughts and prayers, my friends. They helped. smile

FNW, more prayers on the way for your son.

I hope he is doing better soon.

Prayers for GG...NJN, and anyone else who needs them!

Take care, my pretties.

Talk to you when I get back home.

Lindley · Guru

Safe travels for you and Wayne. Hope GG is doing well Trudy and Prayers for you and your family njn

FWM, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. It sounds as though it was a peaceful transition and I hope that is comforting to you.

TrudyML · Guru

More hugs.

Oh, Mom!

Oh, FNW!

FWM, so sorry to hear about your mom. This hits so close to home. Mom moved her arm so they took her off life support. Her kidneys weren't working and she was very confused. She is now doing better and they moved her to a regular room. I got to talk with her today. She's still swollen and confused. When my brothers and sisters got there my dad had been in a diaper for three days. He's really having a hard time. Asking constantly where mom is. It's left him even more confused. They have confiscated all the guns and car keys in the house. Apparently things are much worse than was thought. The house is falling apart, their finances are a mess, and they've been hoarding meds since 2010. They dumped all the meds. They're working on cleaning the house but the repairs will still have to be done. Their dogs ruined the flooring by peeing all over. My sister rehomed the dogs. Mom thinks she's getting out tomorrow but the social worker won't release them until they both have a safe environment to go home to. It's going to be a long road. I offered to let them come stay here. My sister wants to keep them closer to home. We'll see what happens.

Prayers for all

Offering prayers for all of you
who are having a stressful time.

I wish I could take all this pain
and sorrow from you, but for now
I will offer my hand to hold and my
shoulder to lean upon.

My mom got out of the hospital just in time for her birthday. She's doing better. I asked my sister how she is dealing with the dogs being gone and she said she was upset at first but then adjusted. I was happy to hear that. My dad is really happy my mom is home.

I'm getting a new car this week. My son crashed my Dodge Journey awhile ago. Probably six months. We haven't been in a hurry to buy a new one but I found a really nice one that we're going to buy. I'm so excited because I can't get in DH's truck with my broken leg. I don't go out much because of that. So when we get my car I'll be able to go places with him.

I'm babysitting my little gremlins tonight. They should be here any minute.

That sounds like good news, NJN.

We rolled into our driveway around noon, yesterday.

I finished unpacking. Got some laundry going.

Cate is hanging out with me. I think we need to make a Costco run. I'm out of a lot of things.

Tired, and a bit sore from the long drive.

But, I'm happy to be back home. smile

(Watch...I'll be bitchin' later...our high is going to be 92 today. LOL! biggrin )
