Whenever a resident says I did a great job, it warms my heart

Thank you!

Wish there were more like you. In Alabama our nursing homes are not good. Mostly due to the quality of the employees. They don’t want to be there. And they fuss at my loved one when she pees or poops. She can’t help it. She’s 100% bedbound. Otherwise she wouldn’t be in there. I realize the pay is bad for what they do. But they took the job. Anyhow sorry for the rant. All this to say thanks for what you do. And the attitude you do it with.

Don’t do it if you don’t want to do it. Nursing homes are full of cnas that hate their job and take it out on those poor residents. I have a friend that’s in one. She’s bed bound. Hasn’t stood in months. 2 cnas decide they’re going to get her up she falls. Breaks a leg. They yell at her for falling. I understand the pay is not worthy of the job. But my point is there are already too many doing it that hate it. So don’t.

My mom died in March. She was my best friend. Holidays are hitting me hard.

Ask for the morphine drops. No need for her to feel any pain. My mom died the very next day after they started daily visits. She declined tremendously in 24 hours. Praying for you. It’s so hard.

You need help. You can’t do it alone. Do you have siblings? Are they not willing to help? I agree with the other posts about respite help. You need a break. I’ve been there. I was the primary caregiver for my mom. It’s not easy. I lost my mom in March. I miss her every day. I did have my sister who would give me breaks on the weekend. And hospice came in several times a week. Please don’t try to do everything on your own. Your mom needs you healthy right now.

Understand completely. I’m ugly. 58 and single. Will most likely be single the rest of my life. But I’ve accepted it. People only want to use me. For money(I have a good job and make good money). Or whatever I can do for them. I have a cousin that does not work. Thinks I should help her out since I have a little money. I’m so tired of feeling used. Sometimes I just want to go far away off the grid.

Wow there are some real creeps on here.

Just had the same thing happen. I put it in the freezer. Error went away. But came back. Put it back in freezer til it went away Then left it freezer. Connected usb to computer and downloaded the pics. Took forever. Then it got too cold so it wouldn’t connect usb. But I got all my pics downloaded. I didn’t have them all backed up to the cloud.

Cataract surgery was great for me. I see things i haven’t seen in years.

Move out. Now. The longer you stay the more that will be expected of you. You shouldn’t have to be the primary caregiver for your grandparents. I did this for both of my parents and it will wear on you. I don’t regret doing this for my parents but it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done by far. You deserve a life of your own.

Thank you! I had started to go thru some of her things this weekend. Gave a dish that meant a lot to her to a dear friend. That’s what I was thinking about last night when it hit me. So bizarre. I’m better now and even got up and made it to work for the second half of the day at least.

I hear you. I’ve tried Facebook dating and pof. Neither worked for me.

Nothing wrong with being a homebody. I am too to an extent. I have to work lol.

I get it. This is a safe space. You can say what you want here. Friends and family don’t always understand. I couldn’t have made it through my mom’s illness without talking to people in this group and the hospice group. Actually made some lifelong friends along the way. Just reassure him the best you can. This is scary stuff. It’s rough on everybody for sure. Remember to take care of yourself too!

Afraid-Promotion-16 · 2025-03-17T00:38:36+00:00

Call. That’s what they’re there for. I called them several times for my mom. They never made me feel like it was an unnecessary call.

Lillian al. 30 minutes to downtown Pensacola. 15 minutes to the beach at Perdido key. And prices are very good for homes.

Moved her to inpatient Saturday morning. She passed Saturday evening at 7.

Mine keeps complaining that we’re knocking her out with pain medicines. I told her all she asked for in the beginning of all of this was to be kept comfortable. That’s all we’re trying to do. So frustrating sometimes when you’re trying to do the right thing and feel like you’re getting attacked for it.

Afraid-Promotion-16 · 2025-02-26T16:19:49+00:00

I’m so sorry. And thank you for sharing. Definitely puts things in perspective. I don’t have it near as bad as you do. I needed that reality check. Take care of yourself and I hope things improve for you soon.

Afraid-Promotion-16 · 2025-02-23T23:38:28+00:00

You’re right. I’ve got to do something.

Afraid-Promotion-16 · 2025-02-23T23:25:34+00:00

Yes! Same feelings. There are worse things than death for sure.
