It Goes On!

Well, we survived another day - and I am sooooooooo grateful for all of the kind and considerate messages from friends, family, and strangers. It helps me cope - Thank You All xxxxxxx

I'm happy to say that my own health seems to be improving - so - when I got up this morning, at 5 a.m, to a nasty pancake in a diaper - I actually coped quite well. I am getting very good at the poopy bottom routine - and the hospice company has given me some spray-on poopy bottom soap stuff. It is a tremendous help - but I still have to open the bedroom window. LOL! Still, the weather has improved and there is a nice spring breeze in the air!

A social worker from the hospice company called me this morning. She asked about the ins and outs of .......well, you know what! She wanted to know if John and I have made arrangements for his funeral yet. Argggg. John believes that he will live for another year or two (fat chance!) and he is not ready to talk about his funeral. I already have the funeral arrangements in my head - but not on paper. I suppose that I should tell someone what we want - in case I get run over by a bus!

The nurse's aid (who is supposed to supply diapers) didn't have any diapers when she came last Wednesday - and now she won't be back till Monday. So - I have been to the store and got some more Depends. I'm not too happy about them as they have changed the design to suit men who have bladder control problems - not poopy problems. I suppose I could put them on backwards! That BIG bladder catcher will work for the other end!

The social worker wanted to send a pastor to talk to us - I declined the offer. John's dying - what's the point? Please don't write and tell me that you have a point.

The yellow rose is growing in my garden - I need to prune all the roses - when I get the time.
