    SiL and I talked about it and we think Nannie must have a UTI. She's going to call the doc's office tomorrow. Last time neither I nor the Dr's nurse could get a clean catch spec, so they just prescribed antibiotics. I hope they give her SOMETHING. Sh...

    Riddle me this: (WTH???) Nannie says, "What is...." wiggles her hands, stutters, says, "Oh, You know, it's, it's...Oh I don't know." And I sure as ____ DON'T KNOW! She is having a hard time realizing she is 94 and can't go upstairs bec...

    Got up at 11 AM, took Momo down to have her breakfast, and lo and behold....Nannie was already sitting in her recliner; said she had been up for only about 5 minutes, but who knows. So I gave her the usual tray w/ pills, cranapple and yogurt. I went ...

    I was late getting back from my errands because there had been a 2-ambulance wreck on the road I usually take. After the 2nd ambulance, I turned around and had to go on the by-pass, which is in NO WAY a short-cut. I hope the accident victims were't t...

    Good Morning, and Good Grief! Last night after I put Nannie to bed.....20 minutes after that, I went back to the den to turn the electric fireplace off and the dehumidifier on....there was Nannie, coming out of her room....and she had already made he...

    'allo, all! When Nannie has both the glass of drink in one hand and the pill cup in the other, you have to watch her because she tries to pour the drink into the pill cup or the pills into the drink glass. YIKES! Quiet day. Nannie slept a l...

    But, the supper SiL brought me was hotdogs, coleslaw, French fries, and chili. 😋 It was pretty good, and especially because I didn't have to cook! Got the laundry finished (YAY!) and the clean dishes put away (YAY!). Was watching TV and turned t...

    Returned after 4 PM. Won $20 on a $20 scratch-off, which means nothing much. I'll get a couple of $10 scratch offs instead of the cash, and see if I can do any better. Fingers crossed. Eyes crossed. Toes crossed. Knees crossed. I guess those are the ...

    Woke up early and put out Nannie's tray with AM pills; fed Momo and we went back to bed. SiL came around noon and gave Nannie breakfast, got her dressed and took her away around 1 PM. I stayed in bed snuggling with Momo until they left. Now I am up a...

    This evening, Mom was a B-A-A-A-D girl. 😖 She peed on my sofa cushion, MY seat, while I was upstairs making supper. When I sat down, I couldn't see it was wet (the cushion-cover doesn't change color when it is wet), and didn't realize it until I had ...

    Got up at noon and fed Momo, and she did her biznezz on the underpad on the floor. (What a g-o-o-d dog!) I was having my coffee, when SiL arrived....a nice surprise! She got Nannie up and gave her a shower and dressed her, gave her her pills and brea...

    Nannie was fussy and grunting every time she moved, c/o her neck and shoulders hurting. Then it was her hands.The Advil I gave her this morning apparently didn't work well enough; she was getting on my last nerve. I put a Lidocaine patch on her 'hurt...

    Last night when I told Nannie it was bedtime at 10 PM, she didn't want to go to bed. I said that was okay, I'd come back down later to turn off the lights and TV, after she went to bed. At 11:30 PM, she said she was watching a really interesting show...
