It's been crazy busy for several weeks. I crash hard at the end of the day.
My back gutter is leaking between the gutter and the house.
I called the company who put on my new roof, gutters, and down spouts. He's coming out again today. He said he came a couple days ago and couldn't find a problem....................so he called today and I explained to him there's mold on the outside brick, and the paint on the kitchen wall that's just behind the moldy brick, is bubbling................................luckily it's raining........................he will see the water leaking behind the gutter..............................the gutter is not clogged. I just want the problem fixed before more damage is done.
Mom isn't doing so well.
Me and 2 of my sisters took her to the doctor day before yesterday.........we had many questions........and a few suggestions...............................the visit went well in that our questions were answered and doctor agreed with our suggestions and had a couple of his own................so all of that has been set into action...........................if it turns out that none of this benefits moms well being then we have 1 more thing planned.............................and from there we continue to love her, spend as much time with her as possible, and help to keep her comfortable................................................2 of my sisters haven't been involved in helping to care for mom for whatever reason.............................................if they only knew what a wonderful experience it has been...........and how grateful I feel for all of this time with mom...............................and how much fun mom, me, dad and my two other sisters have had in spite of her illness....................................................they are missing out on a truly awesome opportunity.

Helping old folks isn't everyone's cup of tee, especially when they have their own lives to live.
Seems like half the blogs I visit has someone near death in them and we are moving up the list.
Good luck with the gutter.
"Helping old folks isn't everyone's cup of tee, especially when they have their own lives to live."
Yes, and some people are just to fucking selfish.
It's always confused me as to why people try to keep old people alive to the point to where they are so damn tired of it that they just want to get dead and not have to put up with it anymore.
I for one do not want to get to the point to where someone else has to change my pampers and clean my ass.
We're not trying to keep mom alive, Billy. We try to improve her quality of life.....she's not tired of living. I know because I've asked her.................she cleans her own posterior,,,,,,and she's continent of her bowel and bladder....
But I hear what you're saying.....I kind of understand why people do what you refer to.....maybe it's denial, or love....or both.......whatever...........that's why it's important to have a living will and someone you trust to be your health care power of attorney!..........decide for yourself when your life is no longer worth living.
There won't be anyone around to help me but that's okay, when you are alone no one will be there to protest my blowing my brains out. :-)
