LOL...the post below about texting made me think of the first time my daughter texted me those 3 letters. Lots of love to you, too, I texted back. She cracked up. How was I supposed to know? I mean, didn't LOL mean lots of love before texting came along?

Texting for Seniors

Wouldn't you just like to reach out and run your hand over those abs?

That's right baby, I still got it.

You know, life is about sacrifices, and doing what's right. This post is meant for my soul mate's son, who won't see it. He won't talk to us, he won't return our calls. He uses his wife as a go between because he can't "deal" with it. Not because he doesn't care. Because he doesn't want to think about his dad passing away. Doesn't want to see him sick.

We all have to deal with unpleasant things in life. It helps us grow and become strong, it's part of living. Doesn't mean we have to like it. And no one wants to see their parent sick and possibly dying. But it happens. I went through it with my dad and mom and I know I'll go through it again when my step-father passes. Right now though, it's about my soul mate.

We've been together 17 years. A few weeks ago he was diagnosed with a bone infection. We were warned with his low immunity and other health issues, coupled with his age, that this was a very serious time. The intravenous antibiotic they have Earl on is very toxic. He was supposed to receive a dose once a day, but because it started building up in his system they come out every other day. The nurse.

The bottom line is he's not doing well right now. He needs someone with him round the clock, at least until the treatment is over in another 3 weeks. After that we will have to make a decision none of us wants to think about. But it's about doing what's right for Earl.

Right now I can spend weekends with him, and nights, but I work full time during the day. So I asked his sons to come and help. I only asked them for one week each. The one from Boca Raton is coming Monday. The other, who lives in Oklahoma, won't talk to us.

I wish he could see his dad. Hear how he mumbles under his breath that he doesn't understand why his son won't call or come. It's so sad. Because this son used to call him faithfully every weekend. The medication makes Earl forgetful, very weak, and he sleeps most of the time. It doesn't appear he's reacting very well to the antibiotic. He's in terrible pain.

Is he dying? God  I hope not, but it's a good possibility he won't bounce back from this. And his son will have to "deal" with that. And any regrets he has for not doing the right thing. For not seeing his dad possibly one last time.

We have a release date!

Okay, I hope I don't offend anyone. This picture is what came up the other day when I googled - pictures of blue balls.
I was actually looking for a picture of a plain blue ball! You know, the kind you throw?

Good morning all! Just popping in to say happy Sunday. It's raining here. Has been all weekend. But you know I love it. It's the kind of steady rain that really soaks into the ground and leaves everything looking so new and green. Course, no one likes driving in it, including me. Makes the roads so dangerous and a couple of times I felt like my car was on skies.

I hope this means a change in the weather for us. For a while anyway. The last few days have been really nice. I haven't worked up a sweat in a week! LOL And that usually requires just opening up the front door in Florida:)
