I'm so so...Rick,<BR/>I hope that your neck gets better. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I think that my Momma is getting worse also. So Friday's is happy hour for the resident's? When Mom was in the NH there was so days that they done things with them. We live in a small community and there is a business owner that takes the residents' of the home to a steak house for dinner every 2 weeks. This is something that the resident's look forward to. Mom is not longer in the home. We have skilled nurses that come into the home to help us with her during the day. We are fortune the we can take care of her at this point. Take care of yourself and your neck. Have a good week...rainbowhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895105367711551411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341493774541669520.post-81021100788658496092008-03-12T09:01:00.000-05:002008-03-12T09:01:00.000-05:00Do you think yelling undo!

In language learning, there is a term called circumlocution. It just means if you don't know the word you are trying to say, you say something else with words you do know to convey the same meaning.<BR/><BR/>I have found myself doing it a lot dealing with Mom, and you did it too. "The blue one, the blue one" obviously wasn't getting through, so you switched to "the one with the collar". Good job, Rick. If you were being tested for language fluency, you would have scored higher for that ability. <BR/>I am such a geek.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15998945782450878164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341493774541669520.post-74043063081591955322008-03-12T00:06:00.000-05:002008-03-12T00:06:00.000-05:00every day includes a wonderful memory. and for tha...every day includes a wonderful memory. and for that i'm so grateful, joanne.<BR/> <BR/>today i was having a little trouble getting my over-shirt up over my shoulders and mom asked if she could help. then she kept pulling down on my tee-shirt that was already on under the brace. her *help* was a little discomforting, but funny as all getout. in the end, we both had a good laugh.<BR/><BR/>- "no mom, the blue one. pull on the blue one, the one with the collar..." <BR/>and she kept pulling on the gray undershirt.<BR/> <BR/>i swear it was funny at the time. maybe you had to be there. (it still makes me smile to think about it, though.)<BR/><BR/>as for surgery?... i'm in wait and see mode right now. if that's the final verdict, i'm inclined to say, "no thanks."cornbread hellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044619147561532271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341493774541669520.post-24257459888978815902008-03-11T20:24:00.000-05:002008-03-11T20:24:00.000-05:00Hope things turn out okay with your neck.

If it comes to surgery, Rick, make them use the flexible new stuff they have out now. :)<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about your mom's progression.
