Motor City Red Thong Mafia #47 (R Rated)

Kimmy,  . I have you , granny and your mom in my prayers. And the insurance company in my garbage can!
Yes, Brenda, Saint John was that nice but only the Neurology floor! I want to go back. I can not get this pain under control today . It is bad!

AW, Mary. I was so hoping you were not in pain. Is the pain from the surgery or the same pain you had before surgery?

Today is such a beautiful day that Dad, Jim and I went to the cemeteries to visit Mom, and Jim's parents. Couldn't find the graves because they are still covered with snow, but we were there anyway. Then we took a ride out to a park where Dad proposed to Mom and where Jim used to run up and down the hills to get in shape for basketball when he was a teenager. Hadn't been there in 50 years and it was fun to see. Then we drove out in the country to a park by a big dam where we used to go when I was a kid. The snow-covered rolling hills of fields were beautiful. Dad sure enjoyed being out and about. So did I. Now the guys are both napping so here I am.

Made two crockpot meals this week. This first was a big hit. Dad loves spaghetti parmeson. Jim hates parmeson. I put chicken breasts and jars of Ragu Traditional spaghetti in the crock pot and cooked it all day. At dinner time, I cooked the spaghetti, fixed their plates, sprinkled a mixed shred of white cheeses over the chicken, spaghetti and sauce and nuked it. They loved it and so did I. Not exactly gourmet like the rest of you do, but yummy. Today's crckpot has swiss steack, potatoes, carrots, celery and small onions in it. (So dad can avoid the onions.) I'll make gravy with the liquid and they will love that, too. Haven't cooked this much in years. 

And that is probably the last you'll ever hear about MY cooking.

Your meals sound so good. Honestly, wish I were there to share them with you.

Shirley and Kim - I had to guard Mom too. Thankfully, I had a dr. that didn't believe in too many meds, only what was absolutely needed. Kim, when they drug her up that much, how in the world do they expect her to respond to anything. I can see keeping her sedated if she is in a lot of pain, but then don't expect her to respond to anything. Those nurses should know that.   

Mary - Is your pain the same as what you had or is it from the surgery? Praying for you.

[*joemomma]

Awww...Mary. Rest & hopefully that pain will GO AWAY!

Ok now....granny hasn't had any meds since yesterday at 430 am.

She's still unresponsive tonight. How long does it take for em to wear off ya think? she WAS wakin up in pain every 2 to 4 hours...when the meds wore off some.

Took them 4 days to detox Joe...but they were givin him stuff to detox. Lasix I think?

Karen...I aint never had no computer virus before that I can think of!....????

I called off work afterall tonight. It's just too much right now. My momma needs me there with her. And I'm exhausted.


Gonna try & get some rest tonight. Meet ya at the crack tomorrow!

And...I didn't know ALL insurance companies did this PT thing. Ma just thought she got a wacky company or something. See how helpful you all are here? Put our RTM gals together and they can figure out just about anything!

Kim, you're too young to understand.    That insurance is called Medicare. Us older folks don't call it insurance; we call it a blessing. But that doesn't mean it doesn't do dumb stuff. I'm glad your granny is not in pain right now. Maybe they're just keeping her sedated because her pain would be too great. I'm sorry, I can't remember if they ever got her unplugged. Did they?
Hang in there! 

[cl4clay]

Kim - Medication act differently on older people. Sometimes, they will wear off fast and other times it will take days. As long as she is not in pain, do not give her any more pain medication. If she wakes up and is in pain , then give it to her. The problem is that some nurses will give them pain med every two hours whether they need it or not. That's when you have to tell them not to use any pain med unles she is awake and needs it.  Hope that helps you out.

Evelyn said it much better!!!!!

Becky your two crockpot meals sound delicious Just being at the cemetery is fine, and love the trip down memory lane with your Dad and Jim
Had a wonderful evening with two very nice women Bonnie has a lovely home, made an avacado salad, stuffed pork tenderloin, squash, green beans with mushrooms and parisienne potatoes.  Dessert was so yummy, fresh raspberry and rhubarb custard on shortbread

[mrs. c.]

Keurig and Mrs tea are brewing Kimmy if you're up talk to me, we'll have a coffee together

[mrs. c.]

Meesa, next Saturday you will be a bride, how exciting this time in your life must be.  We'd all love to hear about your attendants, are the boys gonna be ringbearer, help to usher??? Would also love to hear about any showers you've had, just to be a part of your special day

[*joemomma]

Meesa! You gotta practice your lines!

I do.

I DO.

I doooo.

I DoooOOOOO!

I certainly DO!

I DOODLE DOO!

OMG don't say I DOODLE doo!

Mornin! I'm up lookin for my crack.

Becky...I'm not referring to Medicare, I'm talking about her INSURANCE...it's called Optimum. It's her supplemental insurance and ma just got it for her 2 months ago. That is what's covering the stay right now. That's why ma was afraid that it was this company that required PT...until I told her what y'all said...that they all do it.

And whatcha mean unplugged? Unplugged from what?

Evelyn...the nurses have stopped all meds unless she wakes and is in pain. I just wonder if it's from meds or if her brain just had enough.   We'll see. She is one tough cookie...my granny!
Never know when ya walk in what you'll find with her!

[*joemomma]

Would also love to hear about any showers you've had,

If Meesa & Joe have had "special showers"...I don't think she's tellin us about em!

Unless there's a video somewhere.

Kimmy, 2 dates have popped up one in Asheville and one in Chautauqua NY in August.  He is touring with Ruben, that's all I know.  Hoping something comes up where we can all meet

  Where'd you find the "QUOTE-UNQUOTE" emoticons, Sharon??  Cute!  We got those here at Claymaniacs?
Sitting here drinking my coffee, copying our Depreciation Schedule from last year, gotta show the accountants what we disposed of over the past year.   TMI???

Morning Kim!!  I also hope Granny got "Unplugged."   

Becky, your crockpot meals sound wonderful!  I should get a crockpot; would love to get dinner started in the morning, then not worry about it all day.

I spent a good part of yesterday afternoon baking wheat-free treats for Justin.  I made him some cupcakes, Betty Crocker's yellow gluten-free cake mix is delicious!  Added some lemon zest.  Then I tried to use Gluten Free Pantry Cake Mix and made some snickerdoodle/heath bar cookies out of it.  They aren't quite as good; I added brown sugar for flavor, and shouldn't have.  He's gonna have a real sugar high when he eats those!      
Just trying to make it easier on him to do this.  He was so sweet and touched yesterday, gave me a big hug and thanked me for helping him.  Gosh I love that kid!! 

[mrs. c.]

Good morning Karen Yup the quote emoties are right here just above one of the birthday cakes I think speaking of cake, the lemon zest in the yellow cake tickles my fancy . Ahhh your Justin is such a sweetie, just like Ann talks about her 'lil Kev
Karen, how close are you to Chautauqua NY??
