*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend! How are you doing?
you guys have the bottom i word?
tired again today.... i think i am beginning to see a pattern.... lollll
hurshy in7/28
lol :) Okay honey, and whatcha gonna do to break the pattern?
and how are you both?
go into hospital on the 7th January....
physically in agony, me, but otherwise we both are fine. Yesterday was very interesting.
that is still a long haul, honey. Are you still calling the hospital every morning?
we have finished all the gift wrapping.delivered gifts to Don's bro and family, delivered gifts to Don's kids. just a little food shopping for the 25th and 26th to do. then i am gonna sit back and enjoy christmas as much as i can.
thank you granny
*sending painkilling vibes to rose*
nothing gained with calls... they have to keep beds available for emergencies. *sigh* but.... the staff DO understand how anxious i am... and are being very polite and nice to me when i call.
the idea behind calling daily is that A. they know you are really motivated and B. they have you foremost in their minds whenever an opening occurs.Yes, they will also think you are pushy. And let them. Cuz you got reason to be.
that is what is so lovely about the staff at this hospital. they are very experienced with patients who are suffering the same as i am. they don't lo4 their cool or sympathy.
awesome. So keep at it :)
sprite, yesterday? please excuse my hole-riddled brain if you told me what was happening.
brb tel
sorry, fellow in stress, had to take the call
yesterday was the workshop on self-sufficient living and building tiny houses and stuff
oh yeah.... how was that? did you pick up lots of info?
yes, we did, it was very intensive and extensive.
how exciting.... do you feel one step closer now?
several steps closer and one big one back. It is hard to be self-sufficient when it comes to processing gray water into water that can be put back into nature.
that was not supposed to be a stopper
sorry sweetheart. just realised orchids don bought me needed water.
:)
that should be fairly easy honey. you just process the grey water through a pond of water weeds.
at least that is what the water group did at the university where don used to work.
yep. And with a single tiny house, and not owning any ground, where do we put a pond?
hmmmm, buy a child's pool, plant it out with water plants...
when you are with a group, you usually are allowed to use the grounds you stand on, and you can build a communal pond.
won't do, the helofyte filtering has to be approved by the watership government here.
if you have to move, empty it, keep the plants and start again. if you are in a tiny house there won't be a huge volume of water to be processed surely.
trust me, sweetie, when I say it is a problem, it is... we have already tried to find solutions and the person giving the workshop too
so in the beginning you will be in a sort of caravan park?
the average shower takes at least 40 liter water, rose. For most people closer to 60.
wouldn't the amount of shower water depend on the sort of shower head you use. we have one which only allows 7 litres/minute. even my shower, which is under 3 minutes, would use less than that.
so let's say we both will take 2 showers a week, that is 160 liter of gray water. Add to that the water used in the kitchen plus the water used for washing ourselves with a wash cloth on the other days and for brushing our teeth. Plus what we use to clean our house.
already calculated with a watersaving showerhead
ah, okay. yup... one humungous problem then. *sigh*
so where are you looking at setting up your little house?
there is a possible solution that uses the outer north wall of the tiny house for a helofyte filtering system... worth looking into, though it will prolly not be enough.
sweetie, we do not have a location yet, remember?
are you looking for a small block of land? or a position in a caravan park?
the idea is to not own land. And no caravan park for us. Ideal would be a location allocated by local government for tiny houses, in a small group of likeminded people. Also, we want our house to be able to be relocated, so that we can find a quieter place to live once Rob has retired.
most plots where tiny houses are allowed, will only be available for a number of years, like 3 or 5. After that, the permission to live there will be revoked and all people must relocate.
hmmmm. will keep praying the Big Guy suddenly gives you an amazing solution.
time for me to go to the sunday meeting, honey. Have a terrific evening with your beloved. Sleep well after :) *hugs*
xoxox to you both sweetie. luvsya.
Hi there, zooz. Won't take up too much of your time....just wondering how your mother is doing? Hope you are well also.
((Gapeach)) Mother is holding up bles her. it is my father you is in a bad way now. He was in hospital for five days then decided to discharge himself as he was not getting better and the meds he was on was makin git very hard for him to breathe.
He has been home for a few days but it is all hands on deck. he ony has to walk to the toilet and he is so out of breath for a good 15 minutes. And i mean out of breath. It is very scary to watch.
There are a lot of complications going on with him too that are not pleasant to deal with either but has to be dealt with.
Sorry to hear that your father’s not doing too well. Very hard on all of you. Good that your mother’s holding up. Wishing you all well.
Hope you are well though, ((gapeach))
Oh, golly, zooz. I'm so sorry to hear this. Will he let you get him oxygen?
((Liz)) Thank you. Hope you are well too.
Have had a rough time for a couple of weeks.....darned rain and cold aren't helping. But I'm hanging on. Can use all the prayers I can get.
Very well thanks. If I don’t see you before, have a good Xmas. Time for dinner here.
We asked the hospital for them to let us take home some oxygen but they said they will not do that. We told him we will buy one for him but he said he does not trust buying it as it could be fake. (yeah I know...that is what he is like)
Same to you, Liz! hope it is a wonderful one for you!
I will send you some prays, Gapeach And I will make sure you get them! Winter is such a horrible time for many people. Hope you can try and stay warm and dry.
Wishing you all the best too, Peach.
Oh, zooz. Just get all the rest you can. I know it isn't easy not being right there with them. Is there some orgnization that would just send a "sitter" for a while each day?
Thanks so much, Liz. Same to you and yours. Hugs.
My sister and myself are there everyday helping I am doing around 12 hors a day now. As for any organizations, Gapeach there are a few. he doctors also said he can get them some help but dad will not allow anyone into their home. Apart from family.
We love him dearly but he is a ruddy nightmare.
Hello. l just read about your dad, zooz, and the situation sounds awful.
My babble time is so precious to me at the moment. So nice to have a little time to myself and nice to know ther are people here who are very kind and thoughtful,
((Ruby)) So nice to see you. Hope you are well?
Move to France! Nurses come every day,bringing meds, heckijng vitals, etc; And offer me oxygen when lim out of breath
Yeah it is, Ruby. i am beginning to think this is the beginning of the end if you know what I mean.
You and your sister have to insist on letting ledical people into the house, even against his will
You'll all feel better!
I am sure they would here, Ruby but he will not allow people into their home.
Is he strong enough to physically stop them§ Te"ll him he'll be forcibly returned to the hospital if he doesn't cooperate
Oh bless you. We have done that. He swore so many very very bad words at them and and refused to cooperate. We have to respect his wishes even though it is not fair on my mother and sister.
Can you declare himincompetent to make those décisions. You might need an attorney, but it wouldkeep him alive
I know it has to be so difficult for you and your sister......I went through a rough time when my foster father was failing (he was 89) and my mother 80....had them an apartment next to me.....my youngest daughter was scheduled for open heart surgery in March in Louisville, KY and I went over to their house before leaving.....I told Mom that Dad needed eo be in the hospital.....he didn't want to go....and I had to get on the road. I left and he died the day after daughters surgery. Brought Mom to Louisville and she stayed with us until we could take my daughter home. It makes it so difficult when they don't want to do what needs to be done. Does he have COPD?
As for swearing at the personnel, they''ve heard it all before!
Oh, Pech, that is a sad story!
((Gapeach)) So sorry to hear that.
Thanks, ruby, it was tough.
He s very ill, Ruby yet his mind is sharper than a needle.
l think l have a hard heart, but this is terrible for yourmother and he is being selfish
denies
sorry
Will he listen to you mother? Would it make a difference if she said she needs to go (some place) for a while.....would he then lighten up?
He is,Ruby.
What do you mean you think you have had a heart attck? Do you mean recently?
Whu had a heart attack?
I will try that one today, Gapeach.
Oh so sorry, Ruby I read it as you had a heart attack. Thank goodness I re-read it and you have a hard heart LOL
I was worried then!
No no, my heart is strong, it's the rest that's falling apart. And this house is too cold for humans (good for furry chows)
I will ask mother to say to him she is finding it hard to cope with him as well as herself. She is still ill herself bless her. And she thinks he should be in hospital that might work.
Good idea, could she stay with your sister?
It is still mild here at the moment, Ruby thank goodness. i do hope winter will not be harsh.
No she will stay at home and Sister and me will visit everyday as normal.
seine
l can't chat, sorry for my mess
These last couple of years has been really crap. When does life get good lol
I had10 great years, 30 - 40 and several others, here and there
When I go to see parents i see people rushing about laughing and happy.
zooz, is there an agency that would send someone, perhaps an RN out and see what is happening? Your Mother just really doesn't need this right now. She is probably worrying about him too. I will pray about this.....I ask for specific things. Just keep an eye on her and be open to change.
Thanks, Gapeach. I always look after both of them I often tell her to go and lay on her bed and I bring up tea and biscuits her phone glasses and not forgetting her hotwater bottle.
France has amazingly good Heath care plus additiional services if you can pay, e.g. l have a big Bosnian who comes on Sat and Sun to make a fire & walk dogs
Aw, zooz. Thank God for you. I believe we are put here for reasons.....it is how we handle the hard ones that is the test.
Gapeach, He will not let people into the house. The only way we got him into hospital recentley was he collapsed and did not wake up until he was in the hospital and then he was drugged up to the eyeballs.
Sorry for spelling mistakes.
and they're liberal with pain meds, not like the US
Anway thank you all for being so kind. Hope I have not brought the chat log down in the dumps too much. i am going to try a get a few words before heading off to see my parents. If I do not see you before. I hope you all have a great holidays!
My fingers hurt when ltype butl'm happy rto see both of you
Well, then maybe trying to distance yourself in your mind) and keep on doing the best you can.....just don't let it drag you down and get you depressed. OK, dear friend, I will wish you MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR....that sounds trite but you know what I mean. Later....Blessings
((Gapeach)) Thank you!
Okay 36 words found. time for me to go. Happy babbling everyone!
Take care, zooz.
Merry Christmas Zoom

Hi Ruby, Merry Christmas

lt's almostmerry, it's nice to feel cheerful for a change.
My Bosnian, Nermin, is here, cleaning the kitchen and peeling root vegetables for my "granny soup"
The nurse is here, too
Ah, a house full of helpers. Very good.
l'mglad when they leave, but it's tough when no one comes
lamvery lucky
Since Burt died, Christmas has become a non-event.
I'm glad you have people to help you. I'm sorry you miss Burt at holiday time.
With him, we Always gave big parties and dinners. Now, l have Christmas dinner with my friends frim Dublin, who come here to ski every year.
Christmas dinner with friends is nice.
They keep a house up the road from me just for skiing. l've known themfor about 18 years, since their girls were small. The elder is married and the Younger (a true "Ginger") is a lawyer.
But the girls used to help out with our Christmasparties.
It's nice that you have stayed friends all these years.
l am in a goodmood because l dreamed of my friend Sue who lives in Seattle and with whoml've been friends for 53 years. We were both faculty wives and went through all sorts of bad times together (divorces, etc)
Nice to have good dreams. I am going to get a grocery store trip in before all the brainless descend upon it.
ls everybody havinglunch?
It is barely breakfast time here.
l'm having pot-au-feu like a 19th C grandma
root vegetables, lamb's neck
Making soup with anything that is hanging around in the kitchen is always fun
It is my best way to use up leftover vegetables
Molly, I usually use my leftover veg for a stir fry.
Another good use for them. And tasty too.
