Another filmed version would be so welcome. Though I guess they would cast it with Idol winners or with  Beyoncé as Amalia etc.

That is just so wrong.  But sadly, so true.    :-\

The Google links we are not supposed to mention at the top of the page have a link to "Lesbian Dating". Where is DR JMK - I don't blame Jose for that.

Maybe he got bored with us and he's looking for a better glimpse of Hamburger Heaven.

Survived half a day of information waitressing in the middle of the week.  I only had to deliver the lecture once to a mom, who was calling for materials for her daughter's college research project, that sometimes one objective for such a project is that the student him/herself learn something about the process.

DR Jane ~ Is it a road trip or plane trip (haven't found that post yet)?

Both.  Tomorrow I'm flying to DC to meet our younger son & his dog.  Friday they will arrive
from Bucharest.  Then I will drive them to Pittsburgh & we will apartment hunt for a place near Carnegie-Mellon that accepts dogs.  Eventually Craig's girlfriend & cat will join him.  He will be there for a year while he gets his masters degree.

Hi all.  I have to make this one kind of quick because we are getting ready to go to bed.  Mom is a little tired and I am going to get up at about five to go to work like I did today.

I had the scare of my life today.  While I was at work, I got a call that there was a “change” in Mom’s condition.  I practically flew down the hwy.  Of course I was thinking the very worst.

When I got to the Hospice house it turned out that the “change” was that they were putting her back on the Foley (spelling?) bag.  When I got to her room, the door was closed and I just about lost it.  I would like to say I am taking this well but I was almost in hysterics.  I was so frightened I thought I was going to pass out.  

Anyway all is well now but they did tell me that they tried to sit Mom up in a chair today and she got weak and dizzy as well.  

I was so out of it that when I went home to feed the dogs, I took a nap. Both crawled up with me in bed and wanted to cuddle.  I told them both what good dogs they are.

And I have to tell you how wonderful my boss and Thelma were.  They both met me at the Hospice house and were with me when I was sobbing my heart out in the living room.  I don’t even know how they knew what was going on because I didn’t call either of them and my boss wasn’t at work at the time of the call.  Someone from work must have called them.

They are talking about moving Mom to a more permanent home.  They agree it wouldn’t be good for her to go to our home, she needs 24 hour care and the house wouldn’t be the place to do that with it being so small.  

There isn’t much more to tell.  I shall attempt to go to work again tomorrow.  

Happy Birthday to our Dear FJL!  I’ll never forget you and Skips kindness in having us in your home or that wonderful day/night in NYC.  Thanks to DR Jose and everyone who was there.  It’s one of the memories I’m clinging to in this difficult time.

Safe travel vibes to DR Jane and her son and his dear dog.

Hello. Busy afternoon at work. Everyone at the Federal Building is starting to ask when my last day is and treating me like a short timer. I'm enjoying it

Thanks, DR Cillaliz.  I'm afraid I'm not handling this as well as I thought I would.  In fact, it has been suggested I go see the doctor for some chill pills.

Danise, are there any mild "chill pills" that won't make you drowsy?  A little adavan or valium at night might not be a bad idea.  Just make sure you get something you can cut in half.

I guess that's something I'm going to have to find out if/when I get time to go see the doctor.  I had some chill pills last year that I got from my gyn after my surgery but  never took them and I can't find them.

After I lost my father I used half to a full tablet, of the lowest dosage, of Adavan for a week.  You can't take it very long or it becomes adictive.  Knowing that should make you less afraid of using it, since you know you will only take it when really needed.

As you said, getting sleep would help & those pills relax me enough that I can sleep.  There don't make you groggy like a sleeping pill, the idea is to relax, not zonk out.

I hate to post and run but I have to get up at five to go to work.

I am trying to get all the rest I can but it seems like even though I sleep, it doesn't help.  I'm just as tired when I wake up.  I don't think sleeping on this couch thing in Mom's room is helping.  The nap I got this afternoon did wonders but it was in my own bed.

Good night all!

You're handling this as well as anyone could be expected to.  The nap you took sounds like the best thing you could have done after such a trauma.

DR Danise, do what you have to to take care of yourself.  You have been so strong and are going through such a stressful time. There isn't anything wrong with getting whatever help you need to get through this.
