Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Sis is bonkers every night, delerium . Not able to find a rehab willing to take her just yet ..
Social worker was vague said there are a limited number of available beds .
Reading between the lines . The facilities are choosing a less difficult patient . Can’t blame them .
Thanks . The AL she was in was a very affordable board and care home . We do not think she could go back there . She most likely would need at least memory care .
Sis is going to rehab . Nephew is at the end of his rope . Because of her last unexpected really good rally last year that ended up in her leaving AL and coming back home , nephew is afraid another decent rally may happen again.
He’s hesistant about memory care because of the fear of running out of her money . Medicaid only pays for SNF in my state ( and others). So we are down to hoping she either doesn’t walk or isn’t feeding herself so she can be placed in SNF . Although she has chronic issues of hypothermia which my nephew keeps an eye on at home and all that can be done is heated blankets , drink warm liquids .
A very low temperature that was not improving is why she was brought to the hospital again . I told nephew to ask if the chronic hypothermia would qualify her for skilled nursing. We will see .
gershun - I have had that sort of thing -a sense to take an alternate route. I believe the Lord is directing us for a purpose.
lu -lots of questions. Maybe we will know the answers when we get there.
I believe dreams have a significance, but that's not always easy to figure out.
Finally got rid of that sinus infection, I think! Nice to see the days getting longer. ☀️
this feeling after thinking that God has guided me. So only God knows but maybe what I felt was right.
So many things to ask God one day. :)
Maybe what you thought ,that God compelled you was right,
Only He knows~
Yesterday I was praying as I walked and decided suddenly that I'd go a different route. Later, I thought about it and thought that God had compelled me to go up a different street.
So, maybe my dream and God were trying to tell me something. Who knows.
I think when a dead loved one visits in a dream and it's some mundane activity like doing laundry, it's to let you know they're good and just stopping by. I have dreams about my late ex-husband who's been gone now 24 years. In them he looks like he did before he was sick. I can see his motorycle somewhere in the dream every time and he's doing some mundane task like fixing something on it. I have a recurring dream of him bringing the garbage cans up from the curb like he used to. We lived in a multi-family house. He took out everyone's garbage and always brought the cans back up too. Sometimes I'll have a dream that he's bringing the garbage cans in where I live now. Or he's pulling in the driveway on his bike. I think your mom and brother are just stopping by and visiting you.

I hope for you and your family's sake that your sister gets placed this time. It will be a relief.
@ArtistDaughter
That was a nightmare about your mom going out for the walk alone. Sometimes when we have nightmares full of stress and worry, it's because our minds need to take out the trash and tidy the place up from time to time. Our mind is clearing out the stress, anxiety, fear, etc...
But, it is always nice to see them.
The dreams probably don't mean anything.
I bet it was nice to see your Mother and brother in your dreams though.
When I dreamed about my Dad,I felt like we'd been together and it was just great to see him.
and it started to overflow. My mom came over to help and said "you are too preoccupied" Then I realized I'd put the clothes in the washer still on the hangers.
Then I dreamt I was coming home from a long walk in the snow and my brother said "how do you walk so long?"
Not sure what those dreams mean, if anything.
I’m hoping for my nephew’s sake , it leads to permanent placement this time . He’s exhausted . 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I want to wish EVERYONE HERE the BEST OF HEALTH in this coming year. Y'all are STRONG, and with health, you can handle ANYTHING ELSE!
I hope the new year ahead is a good one for all of you~

The collective energy is perhaps the most healing aspect of AC allowing us all an opportunity to share our lives and stories with kindred spirits, providing emotional support to one another and a safe place to heal from the struggles of life. Wishing you laughter, reflection with a measure of peace and joy.
And to all the caregivers currently struggling - a sincere wish you are able to find a few precious moments of love, peace and joy today and throughout this holiday season.
This site gives more than some people might understand, to both the regular responders and to the people with problems. I have a lot to cope with, because of a painful spine problem. 'Giving / posting’ on this site takes me time which is comfortable me, and I hope helpful to others as well. Lots of love to all, Happy Christmas, Margaret
