    Darn, Ratz, and Phooey! It is just after 2 PM and SiL has not called or come by. I got Nannie up and she was already dressed and dry, so after a trip to the bathroom to change one pad, I brought her...

    I read somewhere recently that Magnesium helps lower A-1c as well as statins do. I dunno, but thought it was interesting, so I am mentioning it here, because of the above conversations. Maybe look it...

    Okay, got up and started in by emptying all the wastebaskets, put away and hung up all of Nannie's clothes that were out draped here and there from her "midnight prowling". Her sheets are damp, but...

    I can't even recall what I did yesterday; I feel like I didn't do much of anything, and I feel even more like not doing anything today! By now I have created double the mess and it is hanging over my...

    SiL came over to shower and dress Nannie and took her over to their house. No poop for SiL to clean up. I showed her the photos I took of Nannie's floor with all the poop all over the place. YIKES!...

    Okay, apparently all the mag-citrate is not gone from Nannie's system. After supper she said, "I feel like I have to go to the bathroom." And in the bathroom, taking down her britches, I was...

    Amazingly enough, Nannie only had to have the 'inside' pad changed, as it was kind of damp. Didn't have to change anything else. The bed was dry and clean (!!) and when she got on the toilet, she peed...

    Good Day! (At least I sure hope so!) Last night Nannie did hold off pooping until she got on the toilet; she did a moderate amount of soft stool. Have to go get her up in 10 minutes, so I will...
