First of all she is planning to make up to her mom so we won't mention that BUTT, (and it is best if all men hoomans turn their eyes away this very minute), there is NO dealing with a sick or injured man. Seriously! <br /><br />No matter what your mom does it will be the wrong thing. Men are the worst patients ever in the history of the world! So, we think your mom did not do anything wrong and maybe if she sort of suffocated your dad just a little bit it got his attention that they are in this together so he cannot use your mom as his scapegoat for his pain.<br /><br />BUTT he will probably keep doing it cuz he is a man hooman and that is just how they are. So tell your mom to look in his eyes and tell him she loves him but there is a possibility she might murder him too. OK hooman mens, you can look again . . .<br /><br /> Your Pals,<br /><br />Murphy & StanleyMurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288455369911071072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532289348504223751.post-85088098609241114502015-10-16T12:16:12.077-05:002015-10-16T12:16:12.077-05:00Your mom doesn't need any old book.

She was a very talented, smart lady but all she could make was dry rubber chicken and box mac and cheese. Her husband was in the hospital briefly and when he got out he told everyone he didn't mind the hospital stay because the food was so good.

I was still working at the time and could not take 3 meals a day to him so we made a DEAL!! His facility was near my office. I told him if he would eat the breakfast and supper they provided. I would bring him anything he wanted every day at lunch. Thankfully he agreed and thankfully my boss was very understanding allowing me to make lunch time runs to where ever.<br />My mom was recovering from a serious illness at the same time in another rehab facility. Mom was very easy to please and thankfully enjoyed her facilities food.<br /><br />This is a very challenging and stressful time...and as harsh it is might sound you need to set down some rules...otherwise you are going to make yourself sick and be of no use to Butch...and you are his ALLY and he might not realize it but HE NEEDS you!!<br />Lots of love and hugs ceciliaMy Mind's Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014097754516123017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532289348504223751.post-67260178468899936292015-10-16T09:10:44.700-05:002015-10-16T09:10:44.700-05:00It's not easy to find the right words when you...It's not easy to find the right words when your heart is as heavy as a rock and if you are full of fears....butt I'm sure your mommas mom knows what she meant...

We always tell you how the patient needs to be taken care of, but forget how truly hard it is on the caregivers. My heart breaks for you because I took care of my daddy and mama until they passed away having lost them both before I was 40 years old. On the 29th of September I lost my only brother. Hang in there, because I know God is walking this path with you. But, please, I cannot stress it enough, take care of yourself. It's ok to get frustrated, even angry. Try to take rest when you can, even if it's only 15 minutes. Wish I was closer in location, I would help you any way that I could. I will remember you in my prayers, my friend.<br />Janice, Snuggles, Sassy, and Dixiejanice2pugsandaboxermixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783516562965135441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532289348504223751.post-17795693447976587732015-10-16T08:46:32.795-05:002015-10-16T08:46:32.795-05:00I think your momma could probably WRITE that book....I think your momma could probably WRITE that book. She does a grreat job! The secret is, no caregivers are pawfect ALL the time. Everybody makes blunders and says silly things. The TRICK most people can't get is how to keep going AFTER that and still make things better. Give your momma lots of snuggles and tell her to make sure to take some time now and then to do something for HER. Caregivers need care TOO, or they just burn out.
