I got a package from my Secret Santa yesterday. It came all the way from Australia. How exciting is that! How will I wait for over a month to open it? Can't wait. Thanks ahead of time SS from Australia.

Please pray for my mom , her Alzheimer is a lot worse and she gave me a good right hook right into the chest last night and spit her medication out into my face. I'm placing her in a nursing home . I've taken care of her for 8 years totaled and am just at the point that I can't take care of her any longer. I feel guilty but, I can't keep her safe .

Hang in there...You have done a great job taking care of her,but there comes a time when she needs professional care.

I went to the post office today to mail my SS present. However, upon realizing it was Sunday, I think I have to wait until another day :(

My brother had alzheimers. You both are in my prayers. Alzheimers is a very sad and horrible disease. Kudos to you for taking care of her for so many years. You have to also take car of your safety.

My Dad also has Alzheimers. I need to get down to see him before he doesn't totally remember who I am. I will be praying for you. God bless you. :-D

I wish I could say the pain has eased... but only when I'm sleeping am I painfree... I take the medications but they don't last... I'm thing this is sinus migraine so have added that medication to the arsenal... but all the meds make sleep...

Got my SS put together but now am trying to find a box to ship :D
Having so much fun this year he he...

I received what I think was my SS package yesterday. I didn't want to open the big mailing envelope and find out I spoiled the surprise. Unless someone tells me differently, I'm storing it safely away until Dec. 12.
