painful as it is to see your dad this way it is normal for someone who has suffered a brain injury. I work with a young woman who also is brain injured and she has often done and said inappropriate things. She is getting better, used to be quite embarrassing for her mom, but she could not control it.
Be patient with him. Also I suggest you find an acquired brain injury group where you can go and talk about these issues and how to deal with them and help your dad.

Thanks so much for the advise...I am going to look into local support groups around here..Iti's so hard not to take things personal..I wish I culd just let things roll off my shoulders...
 
Good night guys! I think I am going to call it a night. Tonight has just went pot!!! I need to get some sleep to face tomorrow!! I hope everyone hahas a great night!!!
 
Evening everyone
Hope all is good with yourselfs.family and fur and non fur babies
Have not been posting to much this last few days

If you remember me telling you about 5 weeks ago that my next door neighour that her daughter had died.
Well she went in to hospital the day the daughter was buried and was in for 2 weeks. they could not find out what was wrong with her
She wanted home and they let her. and what a mess!! this past 2 weeks she has been getting weaker and weaker and now she can hardly talk and sleeps nearly all the time. today they got the dr for her and the news is not good. he has said two weeks if that her chest is not good
So they left oxygen down for her and not one of then can use it.
I Have tryed to explain and i might as well be taking to scooby . when do i no when to give it to her. how much do i give her. she does not have to use it yet. but i have been in formed that if she needs it they are gonna get me in. so every night am gonna be waiting on the wrap at the window as they are gonna stay with her at nights now about time
They know i was a marie curie carer and by the time they get a team set up from marie curie it might take longer than 2 weeks.
Other than that all is quiet wether is not to bad some try days and the cool no frost or snow
YOU all take care
 
Praying for you Dawg.


Jennifer- I hope your head feels better.
 
Good evening,

It has been a long day, my wife stayed home sick from work today, I was the go-fer today, I went to 3 different stores, 2 different times, but the thing is I wore a regular shoe all day on my bad foot, that is a good sign of it getting better, I told my job it looks like net Thursday is the day if no setbacks. I did get set for Valentine's Day, I got my wife her DVD of the Twilight: Breaking Dawn for the big day, I already gave it to her since she had time to watch it today, the boys get theirs tomorrow. I wasn't around here much today, but I caught up.

I hope all who aren't feeling well get better, and those who are feeling down, I hope all is well.

Have a good night!
 
I can't sleep,so I got up and put Nancy grace on and Darlene Love was a guest talking about Whitney Houston..I thought that was neat. Anyway I think this is going to be a sleepless night...anyone want to stay up with me????:) nah I think I will try one more time to sleep. I will be so glad when tomorrow is over!!!
 
cookies done, decorated and LittleCS has taken them home. She is going to take them to work tomorrow and share them.

I have another batch I need to share with someone....hmmm, can I bring them to the pines tomorrow?

Sorry to hear that, dawg. I agree w/ the wise advice given earlier, it's only because of his injuries. You're his son, and he loves you dearly. Timing just really stinks sometimes! We are all thinking of you. Hope you can get at least a few hours of good sleep in. Go hug Jordan, Brandi, and Snowball- all will be better! Good luck & let us know how everything goes!

Hey everyone!!

Sorry I haven't been around for the past couple of weeks. Been trying to get my head wrapped around this new IT class that I'm taking and ugh...it's getting there but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks!:) The local weathermen swore it was going to snow tonight but it turns out it's just going to rain; but that's a good enough excuse for a cuppa hot tea and a good Agatha Christie novel!

Hope everyone has a wonderful night and an even better tomorrow!!
 
Yes, I do remembe your telling us about this. It just breaks my heart. Why should you take on this burden??? And I must answer: Because you are such a wonderful, beautiful person, that's why!!! Your conscience will be clean, PLUS you will know you did all you could in the place of those who SHOULD have done better!!!
