This was Christmas two years ago. Thought you might wanna see what a grinch Christmas looks like. There are a lot of grinch stuff out there. Here are some ideas. #christmas #grinch #diy #party #decor

It’s hard having four different caretakers in one week. George needs stability and routine and that doesn’t help. Breaks my heart to hear them. Talk bad about him. He shifted now again and he tells everybody to shut the F up. I wish he’d stop shouting. #brainrot #mad #alzheimers #trauma #ca

I am throwing a love shack baby shower for my son and his wife. It’s grandbaby number eight coming. It will be done love shack fancy style. Hopefully. I gotta admit Christmas is getting in the way of my thoughts. So wish me luck and let me know what dress you think I should wear. #baby #shower

Every year I change the color and the look of Christmas. This year is going to be a Ralph Lauren dark blue red green Christmas. I’ve never used blue before so this oughta be interesting. Stopped early went to Hobby lobby bought a lot of stuff here some things that I purchased, I will be adding tedd

The dress I was wearing a long pink was lined with the same fabric, so the flowers were showing through the lining and it looked like it was me in the chest, but it was the lining. So back to the drawing board I went to Macy’s and they were having a big sale. These are the dresses I found for a wed

Yep, I’m that person that talks to people in the store. They older people tend to love me always have. But now when I go in the store and I talk to people they’re just my age. That was a total realization today. I am getting older. #age #older #growup #howold #me

@Cheryl Hughes579: Just wanted to share that since I read your first text I have been amazed with your resilience. I don’t mean to suggest your day to day life isn’t difficult and why I try to read and respond at times because I do admire you. You are so talented and choose to divorce George and ge

George is not a candidate for hospice because he’s not terminal. He does not have Alzheimer’s or dementia. He is brain damaged and since it was anoxic his brain is actually OK. It’s just dead in a lot of spots and he has no heart problem at all so he could live technically another 30 years or so. #

Because George doesn’t know anything he doesn’t know to let people help him. Or that he is being very difficult. It’s like dealing with a two year-old child only very large. If I put them in a home, he would just lay there and he wouldn’t know to get up and no one would help him because he wouldn’t

I am not a fan of perfume, but I do love the bottles. I got this one for my birthday and I absolutely love it, but I’m not crazy about the perfume smell. So I put on some gloves or a mask and poured it down the drain. I poured it in my own Bath and body spray and now it’s perfect. #diy #diyprojec

OK, going to a wedding in Mexico. bride said I should wear something long and pink. Not that easy. A lot of pinks are see-through. This is what I found. Let me know what you think. #bride #wedding #dress #weddingdress #weddingguest

OK follow along so you can make a Barbi photo booth box. Super easy I just used foam board from the dollar tree I used 12 pieces of foam board and four rolls of wrapping paper from the dollar tree. I did some cut outs from Cvs and a lot of duct tape and clear packing tape. Kids really love anyone c

I wait months to get into Neuro. Neuro tries one thing says they’re an over their head sends me to psych again says not a good fit. This is unbelievable. #tb #doctor #medicine #help #crazy

George is not Alzheimer and he is not dementia. George suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Which means his heart stopped and he had no oxygen to his brain. No one did CPR. So now we have a brain that is mostly dead.# #tbi # #memories # #memory # #heart # #whathappened

Every day we don’t know what George’s mood is going to be like. He never lives the same day twice and he’s never really in each day. He doesn’t know what he wants where he wants to go and we can’t help. 90% of the time he’s in a bad mood about one and every 10 days. I get a calm day like the last v

Most days George is just in a bad mood. This is what it’s like to try and talk to him. Most of the time he doesn’t stay in the conversation he’s talking about something completely different. It’s like his eyes aren’t attached to his brain. He has automatic responses like my name, even though he doe

Getting stuff for girls is so easy. But what do you do for boys? Not that some don’t like flowers but not all do. So, just a add extra . Glue anything you want to a stick and put it with the flowers. I buy one or two bouquets from the supermarket and then I split them up. The store will give you ex

Even though George is not gone, he’s not with me anymore. We held out hope for a long time that his brain would fix and he would remember himself or any of us. But after 3 1/2 years, it does not look like that will happen. It’s hard to grieve somebody who still alive. And you definitely can’t move

Work is not an option. Definitely some nights are better then other #work #worklife #me #job #longshoreman

OK, if you really wanna save money and make cake balls the easy way, just buy a cake. I like to use lemon cake and dip it in almond bark. It’s a vanilla chocolate. People really tend to like that combination but we do all the flavors, including chocolate and vanilla, fun Fetty and so on. Just buy a
