It’s a lovely home, and it sounds like you have an excellent plan in place. You have the patience of a saint. (\ô/)
I didn’t realize you had two lift chairs installed but that’s because I’d forgotten the house is a split-level. LOL! Nice setup and I know you were happy to get it installed. A big plus for both your mom and you. That’s a lot of stairs for unhappy knees.
I’m learning...the hardest part is keeping my mouth shut.
Tonight was a 20 minute round and round about someone who contacted her and she couldn’t find the message. There was no email. She doesn’t have her addy. She stumbled over her name oh Facebook. I could not make her understand that the lady had a Facebok page, but no activity. First date early February, last entry late February. “Did she give any indication why she contacted me?” She didn’t contact you, she just has a page. “But what did she want?” There has been no activity since February. “But how do I answer her?” Over and over and over again. I suggested she call a friend who might have the lady’s email addy.
I use the upper lift every now and then. The picture is back to the front door. Getting her out that way...12’ to the door and 6 steps down off the porch would be really iffy. The lifts are on batteries, so a power outage isn’t an immediate problem. Then out thru the garage.
How's it going for you this morning? It's raining with lightning and thunder here in Comanche OK as I type this message.
I imagine the lift comes in real handy on laundry days. You’d mentioned you use it then on days your knees are giving you trouble.
With your mom’s knees giving her so much trouble now, those 6 steps would be iffy indeed.
Bummer she’s going in circles over that person who she thinks contacted her. Not what you need, especially on a Monday night, is it?
I don’t think she understands yet. It’ll come up again.
Just finished the work I brought home tonight, so I’m off to bed.
Sleep well when you get there.
Good evening, E...((HUGS))...go Bo...champion turtle hunter!!
Happy hunting today.
It’ll probably come up again and again and again. LOL! They get some things in their heads and won’t let go.
Good night and have a great trip to dreamland.
Hope all goes smoothly at work tomorrow.
Prayers for rain for you!
Lynn-dah has totally recovered from her episode with the mothball, and is her playful old self again, thank God! (I thought I was going to lose her this time)
Ready for Pub Night! :-)
Don’t we have so much fun? ;-)
Always! ;)
I see what you mean. It’s got to be the hardest thing, having to say the same things over and over and over...to no avail.
I have a friend in CA...who is in a wheel chair herself...who is having to take care of her 92-year old mom who has alzheimers. She has zero patience under normal conditions, but she’s been doing this for 5 years or more. She just wants to scream sometimes, but knows it would only make things worse.
So..yes...patience is THE hardest part. Those stairs have to be next hardest! Yeesh! Nice set-up though!
