Mom update: On floor for hour.. took pills to curb pain to try to pull herself up into bed. arm, hip, knees incredible pain. she could not get into her bed & of course I could not lift her - She again said no to 911 call. (which I respect).. I made the executive decision to set up her up with a mattress on the floor. it was hard to get her in that. put a lamp, water, TV in range &her remote... Gave her some towels to potty in & said we would see how things go tomorrow.

I know I have no desire for my last breath to be in a hospital.. when my time is there.. let me die in the woods, lake, my own abode, whatever & wherever it is. I know mom feels the same way. I pray the Lord takes me before I reach that stage. I will not be a burden on others & will do what is necessary to make that happen .. but gee it would be nice if God helped a little there..

Well, need to try to sleep . It has been a very intense couple weeks.. Brother Duane & I are to clean & decorate graves tomorrow.. I take him to Akron airport Tues & I will take over "use" of his van, which is newer and in better shape than my current one. He is a good brother. I feel very blessed. I dearly love his wife.. such a gift she is to him.

Lori you have been on my mind these past few days..Letting you know you are in my thoughts & prayers

Good Morning Dolly, said a prayer for you and your mom.

This thread has been such a successful tribute to the military by you and all the other posters. Am checking in periodically to see the new contributions.

So very sorry to hear what your Mom is going through. God bless her, and God bless you and all the caretakers of this world. Remember to take time to take care of yourself as you are caring for her.

Thank you, I appreciate that so much, but you have enough on your plate right now. I am doing okay. Each day is a little brighter here.

HUGS!
