Yup! Definitely did all the checks/scans for concussion, neck injury etc. Suprisingly it did not bleed as much as one would have expected looking at the sized of the gash. She was wearing a ski beanie so that offered a tiny bit of protection but could have been much worse.Ouchie! Did they evaluate her for concussion and/or bleeding? Scalp wounds bleed like you opened an artery!![]()
Sounds like my kind of coffee!Morning everyone. Bar keep, hope you're doing well. If ya don't mind, I'd like a mug of black, engine room coffee, a toasted whole wheat bagel, with a dab of butter and a dribble of honey.
Pardon? Oh, what is engine room coffee? One of the best mugs of coffee I've ever had was made in the starboard engine room of a LPD, which is an Amphibious Transport Dock, also known as a Landing Platform Dock; a gator freighter and the first ship I rode. I was a young and dumb HTFN or Hull Tech Striker, an E-3 junior enlisted.
The coffee was made in a thirty-cup percolator that looked as if had been there since the ship had been commissioned and never cleaned. They used boiler feed water, which is some of the purest water you'll ever find, to make their coffee. Hot, black and strong; and you never let one of the Snipes see you add cream or sugar, if they did you wouldn't be drinking any more of their coffee.
Oh, thanks bar keep, I see somebody's at the corner table. I'll just slide down out of the way at the end of the bar.
Try telling her that there are drugs that can slow it down/stop it, but only if you catch it WAY early.No. How do you do that to your mother? It's like I know she needs to be evaluated, but doing it too soon would just be an insult and embarrassing to her. I think she knows because she spends an awful lot of time telling us she's not crazy when she describes these events to us.
We have about an acre with levies they stay in the barn and corralsOh, no!I heard you guys were getting hit with an atmospheric river! What happens with your animals?
This world is wonderfully created
We had the same thing...but it was a dumb ass mean roosterSounds like great summertime kid fun adventure!!!
Wishing you all the best today... andGood morning Wat and Boat. Yes the ice is here and I am not walking anywhere. The salt trucks are out but the side roads are bad.
How are others doing in this crappy icy weather? Be safe and try to stay warm.
I go this afternoon to have the biopsy of the prostate. I heard it’s quick and not painful. I am taking Tylenol with me to get ahead of any pain. And my GF is going with me for moral support. I am glad she is part of my life.
He eventually did.....Mean roosters around here get put in the pot
We had a little banty rooster named rudy that I loved. He came to us because the previous owner said he was mean. We threw him right into gen pop the first day and he went straight to the Head rooster tried to fight with him. Well Rue was three times the size and twice as mean but he wouldn't give up. But Rue took a break and then Fred came over and fought with him, and then Adolf, and then Joe.. have you ever seen chicken sweat and pant before? So we went in to save him, and it made an impression because after that he was the sweetest little banty rooster ever. If a human picked him up he would coo and snuggle in. He liked to ride on the tractor with us, he liked to come up on the porch and just sit in the Box around his humans. He unfortunately passed away but he was a great rooster.Mean roosters around here get put in the pot
Thank you K. I guess I'm too close to the problem to be able to step back and form a solution. This really helps. I'll come up with a way to get some private time with her doc on Tuesday without tipper her off.Talk to her doctor ..... or to your own about your concerns. Get advice about next steps....
Let them explain it from a med perspective...
You can't let your moms illness destroy your family.... if she is a danger to the health and wellbeing of herself or the people who care for her she needs a medical evaluation and steps must be taken.... you are not required to implode your life for your parents.....it isnt in the son and daughter manual
What if it was something that is not alzheimers or dementia but another medical issue that could be solved with medicine or a procedure..... her momentary embarrassment or anger is a small price for her, your and your wife and kids wellbeing
Yeah..... or send him an email ahead of time... does she need hearing aids? May help a little bit tooThank you K. I guess I'm too close to the problem to be able to step back and form a solution.

She is very paranoid right now if people don't talk a little louder so she can hear. She thinks they are saying mean things about her.
I haven't had a lot of luck getting a hold office staff over the phone but its worth filling their inbox with requests I think.Yeah..... or send him an email ahead of time... does she need hearing aids? May help a little bit too
May also be worth it to talk to office nurse or ma.... they can let him know in the background......

When I talk to my wife, I'll get more details on how she approached it with her mother, early on...Thank you K. I guess I'm too close to the problem to be able to step back and form a solution.

I'll take all the anecdotes I can get. Something's gotta stick.When I talk to my wife, I'll get more details on how she approached it with her mother, early on...
She took care of her mother, full time, throughout it.
Does uour office have something called my chart?I haven't had a lot of luck getting a hold office staff over the phone but its worth filling their inbox with requests I think.
Nicely done!!!Well yesterday was interesting. For everyone’s safety the bough had to come down but it was a nervous exercise given how badly split it was. There was always a chance it could twist and hit me so I used a long reach chainsaw that was a little small so took time. Every little creak had me ready to run. Eventually it atsrted a reasonably controlled descent!
Drive blocked I had moved a car below it by the gate just in case. Bloody good job I did! My ageing chainsaw decided not to,start so I had to get to a local supplier for a new one. To be fair it was a lot more powerful and more suited to a job that took me best part of three hours; but then I don’t fell trees everyday.
Driveway finally clear I just need a good chiropractor as Ibuprofen don’t seem to be up to it
lol

Hi my babies.....So it’s back to basic training and steadiness for the boys, including pup Jack. It’s all about discipline now after a season of running themselves silly on the hills. We will get there, particularly Jack who is inclined to anticipate just now. So it’s put him back when he does and start again, it’s tedious but has to be done.
None we sadly lost AlexHi my babies.....
You listen well to da and be good and obedient....
Ben, Sam, Toby, and Jack.... who am I missing????
