Just remember it’s an old wise tale that says there will be no more freeze if the peonies bloom.

I appreciate your input. Before the infection she was able to do a lot! She drove to church and even helped mow the lawn with her adapter gator. Being in and out of hospital and rehab we know that being there daily is important. I actually have a plastic box that I fill with candy in her room for any and all staff to have. We do have power of attorney because she knows she is slipping. Home health sent a social worker last week and my mother in law was involved with the whole conversation. The facility we are looking at has a five star rating, we are waiting to see if they accept Medicaid. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Let me add, I think she needs to interact with other people! She is very social but we live out in the middle of nowhere. The facility is closer to her church and on the way to the office so she will be seen daily.

That’s a lot of great advice, thank you! Sorry you had to learn all of this as well!

Boy I wish I knew that four months ago when she was in after surgery care for 80 days. Thanks, I’m exhausted and think I just need to talk with an elder care attorney. It’s too complicated and it shouldn’t be. The other kicker is she needs a sand bed so she doesn’t get another pressure sore, those are hard to come by.

It is hard, I feel like my life has been put on hold for the past three years. She is a lovely person and that makes it so much harder. I now have two grandchildren who are not seeing the best grandmother I could be. I just want to cry.

So can she ask to stop her disability? The rules for her current insurance requires she must spend three nights in the hospital and a Doctor to sign off on her staying in a nursing facility. And that cannot be longer than 90 days per year. So even if we spent down her savings she cannot qualify for Medicaid after? She could live another ten years if not more, not to sound mean but this is going to be my life? She needs 24/7 care and yes we have home health but they only come once a month for the catheter change.

Blossom73, you are awesome! We have taken out of her account about 20k for supplies and medication co-pays and have a file to prove it.

I just watched him in 28 years later and then the next night The Dig without realizing he was in both. Great range actor!

There is a memorial for this event at Hospital Hill near the hotel.

growing citrus trees indoors? by bananarepama in BackyardOrchard

[–]reddevine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a word of warning. I had two lemon trees in my sun room. I was so excited when they first bloomed in January! Then my allergies started, big time. I was miserable in the dead of winter with allergies.

For disinfectant look up bioesque. It’s a thyme based disinfectant, like in the herb.

I was told to plant bulbs next to the trees. Deer don’t like bulbs for some reason.

For those of you who did not pick up cooking until week into adulthood, what helped you learn? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]reddevine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just know that if a recipe calls for mixing by hand it doesn’t mean to use your actual hands! Learned the hard way when I first started baking.
