Thank You, I see if i can do this. First I do it on a piece of paper, that is what i do now after the stroke. Yvonne

Sue, understand what you are going through. My Mom used to tell me "who said life be a rose garden". we know that is true, but we are also human , so have your cry, have your sulk, then my dear put your "Game face On" . You will , because I will always be thankful to you when I first visited the site, and you helped lifted me up. Things happen to make us stronger. God Bless Yvonne

Hi Keilli, Asha is so correct, do the right thing with love and things will work out. Me and my daughter have a strange relationship, yet when i had my Stroke, she was there, and make sure I was taken care of. You did the right think, you got there, so he knows no matter what Mom will be there. God bless him, and You. Yvonne

Hello Asha, stop worrying. You raise a wonderful Young Man, and he is going to do his journey his way. Thomas my Son, went to college, and because he would not listen to me, I just saw him been put out of college, not getting a job, living off us. Well, he did it his way. He finished college, got a great job, he is now living in Miami, enjoying his life. just got back from Ohio, the company paid for him to travel there and meet the Top directors.Like a early post said, it is they World, things are different from when we was growing up. He has not come back home, and he is growing and growing. Your son will find his way, remember we all have a journey to travel, the way we travel it is different for us all. he be fine , you never raised a fool. Yvonne

Please that you got a response, government department needs a lot of patient dealing with them. Deep breath, and thinking positive, that helps. Great that you got your hair cut, doing things for our self always cheer us up. Yvonne

Hi Jay, totality understand. When i walk, I am talking to myself, reminding myself to lift my right leg. I am tired of falling ! never mind Jay, we are "survivors". Yvonne

I am pleased you enjoyed your Ice cream, i ate some last Saturday, we can cheat sometimes, life is short lets enjoy it. Go get your nails done my Son taught me" Treat yourself, not Cheat yourself" Yvonne

I am just reading your blog, have not been on the blogs. Was in England for five months, my Parents are still alive, but Mom is battling Alzheimer's. It is hard for caregivers, my Sister who lives with them is a Saint. God Bless her, You ,and all the caregivers. love, peace, and Joy Yvonne

Hello Nancy, it is not right, but the situation here in Florida, is not enough workers, pay is low. when i was in hospital, no more workers to help the Nursers, and they are over worked, have too much to do. My daughter, washed me, changed my bed, and made sure i was comfortable. Sad affairs that is going to get worse, as the population gets older. Wish you the best Yvonne

Well said. It is shameful, that Women are still looked on has a piece of meat. to be touched, pulled, seasoning, and then put in a pan to be cooked. Politicians , are not known for they honesty, in England, a few of the Politicians have been seeking the "ladies of the night company".

I love that you are Sassy. My church goes to the Nursing homes, but only at Valentines day. So I went to a nursing home offering my time, since that is what I can offer, I was turned down. I did not mind if they did a background check. I love the way some cultures respect their elder's. I go too a center, I have got so much wisdom, and laugh. Time we treated our older generation, and the disability's better. Love and Hugs Yvonne

Nancy , you are a fighter, and you are a kind caring Person. When my first husband was rude to me, which was every day, I drop my head, and just feel so small. I read a great book " Love must be tough", written by Dr. Dodson , which said that if you allow the Person to treat you bad, that is what you are going to get, be treated rotten. Yes he had a stroke, but that does not give him the right to be so rude to you. Nancy, hold your head up high, you are a Gladiator! God Bless Yvonne

Asha, so please that you and family are Okay. I understand what you are saying, i said after my stroke, and the fact that I have been in hospital six times with High Blood Pressure, and other aliments , I feel god is not finished with yet. Take care, just please everyone is okay. God Bless Yvonne

Lovely picture. I know you both had a great time. Sarah, sorry that it took you a while to get back your routine. Hope Gary is better. Thank goodness for Patches, and you had some to use. I have always said, that Caregivers have a special place in Heaven. You both have your places booked. Yvonne

Kelli, I send you and his family my condolences. RIP, and when he see's Princess Lelia, his face will light up. Yvonne

Kelli great news. I am so happy for you. My prayers are with you. Yvonne

Sue, good to hear what is going on in your neck of the woods. Rain for ten days! i live in Central Florida, and we had no rain, longer than 10 days. that is a long time to spend inside. I be going crazy, but watching movies and reading books sound a great idea. Like they say," after the rain, comes a rainbow". Wish you well Sue, God Bless. Yvonne

Hi Tracey, so please that you are seeing each other with no arguing. It was time, got to let them make they own path in life. My Son is enjoying living on his own, plus he is in another area of Florida, so I can not pop around. it is hard, but time to let go of their hand. My daughter just finished college, she went back after having two kids. Got a good job, so she be leaving soon, i miss the kids, but looking forward been alone with my husband. God bless Yvonne
