Used the last of my FTP space. Darn.

      


       
       Things went ok with the lawyer.  He thinks we might
               be able to keep Aunt E's house.  This is good news.
              
               I have been going to my aunt's house trying to 
               clean and see just what to do with her stuff.  It
               feel really weird.  And now my dad is afraid to
               get rid of any of her stuff because he says "what
                if she does get better and can come home?"  The
               answer to that is no.  She will never be able to
               live by herself again.  But I can understand his
               thinking.  The fact is we have time to just do
               nothing with her stuff.  Reality is that her house
               needs a lot of cleaning and could use a coat of
               paint.   I don't see a problem with cleaning and
               packing up most (if not all) of her stuff.  Sooner
              or later she will give us a clearer sign that she
              is bad enough and not getting any better.  Right
              now she has some good times and bad times. 
              When you get there and she is lucid you have to
               wonder if you are doing the right thing.  Then
               you go and she doesn't know what year it is.......

         Saw my shrink yesterday.  Told him that my
                sugar levels have been up.  Come to find out
                one of the meds he has me on can cause that!
                Why did he never tell me that?  So I tell him
                 I'm coming off of it.  He's like slow down a
                 minute.  We will taper you off.  Says now is
                 not the time for me to have a major set back.
                Well you can say that again.  I am expecting a
                minor set back though.  I already feel more
                like crying and I have only missed one pill.

          Good news?  Got a perm today.  Nothing like
                 having something done to your hair to make
                 you feel better.  And there is always craziness
                 going on in "beauty palors".  Some lady told 
                 another to be nice because it's Christmas. 
                 Someone else yelled so why do you have to
                 be nice at Christmas?  Like is it a rule or
                 something?  Another lady was telling someone
                 that the devil was going to get her, someone
                  else chimes in with "yeah, he has already gotten
                  Cheryl".  What crazy people.

            Hope all is well with you guys.  For some of you
                    I know it isn't and I am keeping you in my
                    prayers.

Glad you can keep your Aunt's house. It is so hard to have to deal with this kind of thing. Have a dear friend who got it several years ago. She died five years ago but it was horrible losing her by degrees. We'd been like sisters, best friends for over 12 years, Then she got ALzheimers' and it was really devestating.* Pills* Hate taking them too. Doctors never get them regulated. I know its hard sometimes but they are still trying to regulate my b/p pills. Meanwhile I'm feeling horrible. Praying for you still hon..and good deal, Lucille, as my husband says. LOL
A new perm always lifts my spirits. Hugs. *Barb*

Hey there.  Yeah, the beauty parlors are something.  You never know what they'll say next.  Mine used to talk a lot and now she won't hardly say anything.  I always wonder if she's depressed or the others just don't like her.  Who knows.  

Hope you get the meds like you need them.  I know it is not funny but you gave me a chuckle when you said "now's not the time to be havin' a setback".  I can just hear you telling the doc that!

Good news about your Aunt's house.  I understand how you feel about packing her things and so on.  It's been a rollercoaster for you, but you've done a wonderful job.

Hugs to you my friend.

The illness your Aunt has is so very cruel. But from my own experience, you are absolutely doing the right thing for her. Well done to you for standing by and organising things for her   Sandra x

LOL I am already prepared to run out of space. Gonna use my hubby's name LOLOL I think you are doing the right thing by your Aunt. it is hard on your Dad because she is still alive and ususally this is done at death. It is better to take care of this now. The packing is right. If you just leave it there someone will break in and get the stuff. It does not take long for the crooks to find out when someone is gone. My prayers are still with you.
