Old Age Would Bite...If It Had Any Teeth

[jmward14]

As my late great Aunt Dolores used to say about old age, "There's nothing golden about these years.  They're rusted clean through."
In more ways than one.  I feel like Lady Macbeth again.  I can't get the smell of blood off my hands, and I didn't even have the pleasure of killing anyone first.
Spent most of the day in the ER.  Mom suffered another would-be killer nosebleed.  It's been a hell of a month for her.  Won't bore you with the details, but she's taken a sudden turn for the worse.  It's gotten so bad, even my stubborn little Iron Chipmunk concedes she needs help with just about everything.  So, sometime between now and August 29, I need to set up 24/7 care.
In the meantime, thanks to my darling spouse person (who delivered a cable modem and pizza to Mom's apartment this evening) I'll be posting from my mom's instead of my usual stand.  Now if I can only figure out how to get the cat here without freaking him out.  Greg's a lot more flexible that way.  *g*
Cheers,

"Iron Chipmunk" -- what a great visual.

Here's hoping things will improve quickly for you all.

Bright side? No more coffee cream for Duzie for a few days, maybe?

Duzie would be so relieved that the carrier didn't take him to the Vet again that he'd be a happy kitty. Especially if you gave him treats like salmon. Just remember to take him a litter box.

(((((JM))))) Anything we can do to help? Starbucks run? Margarita run?

It's just the month for parental medical trouble all around.

Sending good thoughts and hugs.

I'm sorry for the stress that both of you are under with her health decline. You're all three in my thoughts.

Oh, Jean Marie, this is all so...implacable, isn't it? Big hugs to you and your Mum. Both of you take care.

Please feel free to call on us for help. The curmudgeon and I are always willing to make that quick run over...

Even if it is only to pry Duzie off your pillow...
