I am freezing here in Ohio. The high was 27 degrees and will be 19 degrees tonight. This is when I love to make blankets with blanket yarn Keeps me warm and busy during the long winter season. Now if I can find a way to then the blanket without disturbing my 4 Chihuahua dogs on my lap😅
Ohio girl here too. I just made two of those blankets with the blanket yarn also a pair of footie slippers. This cold snap is something else. Take care and keep warm.
Hi Kayla 😊 After I fell last year while in a skilled nursing/rehab facility the physical therapists had me use a pedal exerciser . I had several broken bones but today I can walk around almost as good as before. The pedal exerciser works wonders. All the best 🙏
So happy to enjoy some of your family’s Thanksgiving through the pictures you shared. Thank you. And that food looked fantastic. I really thought that leaf plate and the way the food was placed was special. You know you can tell your sons everything so why not share with them extra pets in the house now a days is just too much on you and I am sure those sweet young men would be more than happy to help their Mama out. Sorry to say that particular organization is notorious for their disregard of other’s time! Love you 🥰
They should call you if they are running late for an appointment. I"m sorry they are being disrespectful to you. Keep your head up, we all love you. Rest if you feel like resting. Take care. Sending Prayers and Hugs
Hi Kayla. The blanket is looking great so far. I imagine you were exhausted when they all left. An hour and half later is too late if no call. Id definitely let them know about it. Take care Oh, I was yawning right along with you. LOL
Hi, Kayla. Glad you got to see your family for Thanksgiving. It's fun to see them, but also exhausting . I had my parents here for 2 days and I'm grateful that they came to me, they're about 100 miles away and I'm mostly blind, I cannot drive to Them. So it's nice to have them and to host them, but yes, it's a lot of work you have to clean before and then clean afterwards. I am pretty wore out hoping I will take a nap too. Sorry your help is so inconsiderate. Yes, they need to call and say, Hey. I am about an hour late. an hour, Late sucks, but at least you can plan. It's rude to just not call
I would be real honest and tell Elijah he needs to clean up the dog fur before he leaves. He probably is so used to dog fur it's not something he thinks about. I love all those greens in that afghan too! Today I did a bunch of cleaning and tomorrow is grand baby day. 😊
It has just been freezing here in Minnesota. My Arthritis is killing me so I haven't done much of anything. I try to crochet a little. At a time, but we didn't go anywhere for Thanksgiving. We stayed here me and my husband thank you so much for sharing.God bless you
Ms. Kayla, the afghan is beautiful. Do what you feel is best for you, you definitely overwhelmed yourself. Occupational/ physical therapy both in one day is a lot. I also agree about the respect of others time. They should call and say, they are running behind or will need to reschedule. It is only common curtesy. I was a home health care giver, even if i was only going to 10-15 minutes late, I would let my client know. I am so very sorry . I'm praying for you and Big Daddy.
I have several of those Anniversary cakes collected over the years. This year I bought the red and the green. I love the way the green is coming out! It's simply beautiful! I hope you get to feeling better soon, and it's so rude for medical people don't show up on schedule. I certainly hope they apologized when they got there. And don't feel like you have to do so much around the house! Have Big Daddy sweep the floor. Give Sassy a scritch from my cats. ❤
I'm so glad your feeling better. 🙏🏻 I know what you mean about dog hair. He should clean it up before he leaves. I'm sure if you told him that it's hard for you, he would do it. I agree, it's very rude to not let you know that she's going to be late or that she can't make it. I'm sure she wouldn't like it if it happened to her. Wishing you a beautiful blessed day/night 🙏🏻💝💛🌼🌻🦋
The blanket is truly lovely. I have had to tell my OT and PT therapists they can not come on the same day as I am truly exhausted and need a day of recovery. Praying for your strength.
Kayla, I think we all get it into our heads that we are going to get a lot more done than is actually possible. That happens whether we take prednisone or not. It’s kind of an occupational hazard for those of us who knit and crochet. We always think we can do more than we actually can, we always start our Christmas project too late. So, don’t worry, prednisone or not I think you did a very common thing. Not a problem.❤❤
It's definitely worth letting the company know that they need to advise you when they'll be more than 30mins later than they quoted you. Hope you recover soon. I had a big weekend with family as it was my birthday. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
As some other viewers have mentioned you might try a walker , it will help keep you steady so you won't fall . If you fall you might break or fracture your hip or arms and that would not be good ! Usually thrift stores have them . I used one when recovering from a fractured thigh bone when I slipped on some wet steps . I couldn't have gotten along without it . I now have to use a cane because that leg is a tiny bit shorter than the other one . But I'm thankful that it wasn't my hip that got broken ! Please be careful Kayla when walking !! The blanket is coming along very nice. Pretty colors .
Those colors are beautiful 😍 I need to get some of that yarn, I need prayers I got e-coli from the carrots recall, it made me sick for two months, I'm almost recovered, thanks 👍
They should give you a time frame to show up. Like 2-4pm or whatever. Also for me when I was holding onto a walker or cane I would put stuff in a bag and carry that on my arm. For drinks, tumblers with lids in a bag works. Dish towels will hold it up if there’s nothing else in the bag. Also. I would put stuff in a bucket and scotch it forward between steps. Just thoughts that might help. I know you said your walker doesn’t fit through doorways in your house. But if you can, try using your walker more for better support. Have them give you exercise bands, they probably already have. I’m so glad you have the helper now and that she is nice and trustworthy. That’s hard to find someone you get along with so well. Still praying for you aweet Miss Kayla!!
Bought hubby home stereo at Best Buy Black Friday sale so we will be doing a deep clean in the living room before opening up new boxes etc. and then hopefully put up Christmas tree.
I totally understand the frustration of trying to find you "new normal" I am having to do that too. I love the greens, green is a favorite color of mine. Since I blabbered along yesterday I will cut it short today. Enjoy mulling over the memories you made with your boys and relaxing and healing. God bless, be safe and continue to get well.
so good to see you and hear your cheerful voice. We had an awesome Thanksgiving, shared dinner with a friend that had back surgery and could not be with her family, my cousin, my daughter and my husband. We have a lot to be thankful for. Blessings hugs and prayers❤
So glad your some better sweetie! I’m keeping you in my prayers my friend. Please hon, when your body tells you enough therapy then please stop n don’t over due. Your just precious n hubby n I love y’all to pieces. Get some rest friend.
Happy Saturday Kayla! You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you are feeling better today! Your blanket is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us! Big hugs! Hi Cissy! ❤
Hello Kayla, your blanket is coming along well and I love the colors. That is rude they don’t call when late, you could have said heck and went shopping, I’m sure they’d be angry at you, right? ❤lt would serve them right! Glad you’re doing okay. I’m not doing much this week, getting groceries, but may have Walmart to deliver. Getting car inspected and checking on cheaper car insurance. Crocheting like a bandit on steroids. You take care now, both of you! ❤️🤗😘🙏🙏
The blanket is coming along! I really like the way that cake is working up. Good to see you crocheting again! Have a great night! Love from Southern California ❤
Hi Kayla! I'm glad to see you're feeling a tiny bit better, at least. I know what you mean about home healthcare people being late and not calling. I have PCAs who think they can show up whenever they want without letting me know they're going to be late. It's like they believe you don't have a life. Sorry, I went on a rant there. Hang in there, and hopefully, after you call the company, things will get better. Hugs and love to you. 😘🤗❤️🙏
Patches is blue healer/Australian shepherd so in know about the hyper and the shedding......I tell him you left a whole nother dog right there...... lol
Sharon here.... so good to see you crocheting, keep going, take breaks as needed. The suggestion of the pedaling exerciser is not too taxing and will build up your leg strength. Take care and stand your ground with the time schedule times! Hugs and prayers. 👍❤☺
Glad to see you doing a little crocheting to start building up that muscle strength. Slow and steady wins the race. I’ve been working on my whimsical Christmas tree named Spruce. It was a kit from Mary Maxim. He will be a gift for our older daughter. Didn’t go anywhere on Saturday (it’s now Sunday as I’m watching this). I’m recuperating from a fall. Will go to church today because I have several responsibilities to tend to. Mainly my lip is just swollen now and it’s hard to smile. You have gotten lots of great advice about your therapy sessions and the RN being late. You know what to do now…..😉😆 Prayers continue for recovery Kayla……❤️✝️ -Brenda
My younger brother used to bring his Golden Retriever to our mom's when he would come stay overnight. She had all hardwood floors, and you could see balls of hair everywhere. Sweetest dog in the world, but she sure did shed. It is Saturday, and we went to Cracker Barrel tonight with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. So many cute things in the store, but I resisted. We have quite a few appointments next week. My husband has sleep apnea, and he's going to be fitted for an APap machine. He has a follow-up with the surgeon after his hernia surgery. Then he has to see the cardiologist to make certain his blood pressure is staying low. I have a dental cleaning and I'm taking my granddaughter to her art class. Then we babysit Friday afternoon. Oh, and I go watch the grandkids at their swim lessons Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evening. Also, I have online therapy once a week over Zoom for one hour. This next week will fly by! There is no excuse for anyone to be hours late without calling you. Especially when they are there because you have health issues. Certainly unexpected things come up, but a phone call to let you know takes very little effort. Take care, Kayla. I know you're going through a rough time. ❤🙏
I get excited when people are coming, so I'm on high alert, and tire myself out. Yes too many people for one day and if one is running late they will fall on someone else's time and have to wait and you will be over worked and no time for your muscles to rest between exercises. I want to work on my granddaughters afghan, but can't get on the floor anymore. I put some of her rose granny squares away and can't find them. So must make more and thinking if I find them I may just make pillow covers for her later to match afghan. Pics of your family were nice.
Hi Kayla, I'm wondering if you could hang some sort of bag on your IV pole. That way you could put some things in it that you need for cleaning or to use it for anything else. That does sound like a lot for you having everyone coming on the same day. Hopefully you can get it squared away so they don't all come on one day. Pretty rude that they don't let you know if they are coming over or not. I have a craft fair tomorrow.
Hey Kayla, bless you! How I can relate to pain as well! Ohh! I had same probs w/ P T, so T n different types of nurses coming into my home for so called CARE. No consideration as far as MY time being wasted because they’d show up a half day late!! Guess that’s the norm of today ! You’re the patient, but you do not matter !! Feel better!!! Your blanket is so pretty!! Doing a great job… blessings!! Love your babies!! 🎄😻
Just beautiful colours. Love watching you,. An inspiration for us with a chronic illness. Hope you have a great week to and send my love to you and big daddy. I had a look at book on Amazon's big daddy wrote. So clever. bye for now ❤❤👍👍🙏🙏
Blanket is looking so very beautiful. It is rude that the lady didn't call, I believe in calling and touching base with someone. I love you , I have been thinking about you & your family 👪 ❤ . Get some rest.
Beautiful blanket. Yep, that's the hook you used. I'm sure if you asked the kids would sweep for you before they left. I'm sure they don't realize all the shedding from the dogs. Maybe try pedal excerise that is stationary while sitting you can pedal some. I agree you need to break up your therapy maybe alternative the therapy days.
Hi Kayla your blanket looks beautiful… I’ve got arthritis back trouble and PMR …autoimmune disorder..I’m so cripple live in pain ..I had to start pain management Now Wednesday going for shots in my back pray it helps…I don’t blame you one bit about home health being so late ..I’d go lay down let her turn around and go wherever lol🤣♥️saying a prayer for you
Hi Kayla, with the 'professionals' they've got their own importance + that's why they push push push you. Don't worry if you're in the middle of something, just say well i didn't think you were coming as your so late. Most of the district nurses really good but there's always one bad apple in the bunch. I'm talking about here in Wales U.K. XxxX ❤😊❤😅❤😮❤😂❤
Hi Kayla, can you get a walker with a seat and what i call my trunk lol, the seat lifts and has a storage, and see if your iv can be attached. then you could get around sit if you need to and put what you can't carry inside the seat area. also you could make or purchase a bag type holder to hang to carry your phone and maybe a pocket to hold your cup of tea.
I'm off for the weekend. I have get the younger brands here. 9 and 10. Help me decorate for Christmas. I'm just not into it. So I just put up my ceramic tree. Good enough. Its 25 here in Michigan. Trying to snow. Yikes! Be as careful as you can girl. Worry about both of you. Too bad for the nurse if she's that late and you don't hear her. Jean
It’s always good to see you here on your TH-cam channel. Sounds like Elijah is getting homesick if he is wanted to come home more often on his days off. Could he help clean up the dog hair before he leaves to got home? How long is the drive from your house to his? Love, and prayers.
I pretty much always use a larger hook than it’s called for. The funny thing is I almost never ever use.I-9. I don’t know why I just never use that hook. I mostly use.J-10, AndK…10 1/2 hooks. I also like.H……8. I enjoyed those sizes even before I became legally blind. When using a five weight yarn, I have a very old couple of metal.N love Your idea of putting six squares in the middle instead of the straight up and down three or four is really interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the blanket turns out. And those colors are really gorgeous. Like you, green is not my go to color at all , but these greens are really nice. I have to admit that I have become partial to lime green, which I think is a warm green, and very pretty.
So if it’s prednisone that made you make that goal, what is my excuse??? LOL. Oh yeah - mine is procrastination. I’m terrible - I’d like to make 6 hat and scarf hat sets. 🤔. Maybe that’ll work out. 😄😁😂🤣. Ruth
I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you can get stronger. Do you think it's a lack of a mineral? Can you call the office or the person who is so late? I used to work for a home care and hospice as a secretary, and that was totally unacceptable. Hugs for a better day! 🥰
What works for me is not using the cane when I need to carry something use your Walker and hang a bag on it of some kind so that you can put whatever you need to transfer from room to room in the bag and it'll be with you
Hi Kayla, what happened to your “house purse”? If it has a shoulder strap you can put the stuff you need to carry around in it and still use your cane and have one hand free to push your feeding tube pole. Take care of your wonderful self!
Honestly, the people who come to your house to help, should have the common sense to let you know if they are going to be late. That’s just basic good manners. And, I thought that it was a little mud that everybody came on Friday. I think that would have worn anybody out. I hope that never happens again. When my husband was home from the hospital, and the physical therapist came out, she had doing some things that I thought were more harmful, then not. So, I stepped in, and told the coordinator while I thought. The physical therapist simply disappeared. He was much too sick to do the things that she wanted him to do. sometimes he just has to advocate for yourself, and I know that you will do that. You are not exactly a shrinking violet.❤❤
When it comes to dog hair I have a lot of it I have 2 boxer bull dogs they have very short hair but they shed like crazy I don't have central air or heat that would help a lot with the hair so I have nothing to clean the air in my house I can sweep 30 mins later you can't even tell I swept there's as much hair or more I hate the dog hair but I do love my animals so I do the best I can with the hairs hope you start feeling better soon
I am sure the home nurse doesn't mean to be rude, sometimes oopsies happen and patients before you take longer, and it adds up. I would say something to her when she gets there, you could say that because everything takes so much longer time to do it would be nice if she rings you or even just text you say she will be late ant get there about such and such .... Before you go lay down just give her a ring back on the number she called you from ask what time. Request the company who does the scheduling to space them out during the week and if they can't why? Haven't really felt like doing much, am in Green Bay and it has been consistently cold around 20 daytime with icy winds all week. Bad enough I had to go shopping and bank yesterday. So am crocheting and keeping bundled up.
I am in agreement on how it seems people no longer respect our time. A gal I've known since 1962, who cannot drive now, has been told since September that she needs a biopsy to check some lumps for cancer. They have scheduled it 4 times then called to postpone just 2-3 hours before the appointment. Her son took off a day of work 3 times in October then they got that call. So a dad, with family to support missed 3 days work. The last time I volunteered to drive her so he would not miss work again. She lives 110 miles from me. I went a day early, spent the night on her couch. Then that doctors ofc called to postpone again as we were walking out the door. Now you can add to your prayers, I am going back down Wednesday. It's scheduled now for this Thursday. We can use some favor, first with a clear report on the biopsy but also that they will actually do the biopsy this time.
That blanket is beautiful. Very interesting pattern in granny stitches. You definitely don’t need them all to come on the same day. That’s too much for you😢. You overdid and that’s not good. When you start getting tired and you hit, stop.
You are crocheting again, so happy to see it. Luv ya❤❤❤
I am freezing here in Ohio. The high was 27 degrees and will be 19 degrees tonight. This is when I love to make blankets with blanket yarn
Keeps me warm and busy during the long winter season. Now if I can find a way to then the blanket without disturbing my 4 Chihuahua dogs on my lap😅
Ohio girl here too. I just made two of those blankets with the blanket yarn also a pair of footie slippers. This cold snap is something else. Take care and keep warm.
@@tinkmollie you also
Hi neighbor I'm from Ohio as well.
@@dorothyquarles1982 nice to meet you
I need to use my walker inside the house when I’m feeling unsteady .
Falls can be hip breaking .
Plus walkers have a carrier for stuff.
Hi Kayla 😊
After I fell last year while in a skilled nursing/rehab facility the physical therapists had me use a pedal exerciser . I had several broken bones but today I can walk around almost as good as before. The pedal exerciser works wonders. All the best 🙏
Kathy, happy for you
Absolutely beautiful Love those colors
Omgosh Kayla, prednisone does me the same way…big gentle hugs to a beautiful lady keep on keeping on
She could call you with that new fangled cell phone I'm sure she has in her pocket ❤😂 ty for putting out a video
I'm so glad to that your feeling much better now.
So happy to enjoy some of your family’s Thanksgiving through the pictures you shared. Thank you. And that food looked fantastic. I really
thought that leaf plate and the way the food was placed was special.
You know you can tell your sons everything so why not share with them extra pets in the house now a days is just too much on you and I am sure those sweet young men would be more than happy to help their Mama out.
Sorry to say that particular organization is notorious for their disregard of other’s time!
Love you 🥰
I purchased 2 Anniversary Cakes and you are giving me ideas on what to make.
They should call you if they are running late for an appointment. I"m sorry they are being disrespectful to you. Keep your head up, we all love you. Rest if you feel like resting. Take care. Sending Prayers and Hugs
I tell them, that's the time I take my nap. I would go to bed if I was you and the nurse can wait 😊😊
Hi Kayla. The blanket is looking great so far. I imagine you were exhausted when they all left. An hour and half later is too late if no call. Id definitely let them know about it.
Take care
Oh, I was yawning right along with you. LOL
A nap sounds like an excellent idea. 🥰

I love your blanket. No plans just resting after spending Wednesday night in the hospital for my heart but I got home Thursday and helped make dinner
The afghan is looking beautiful. I've got mine started. Your right on that. Love ❤️ you ❤️ to.
This blanket is looking really beautiful. Keep up your working on your exercises. They help tremendously.

Hey Kayla ❤❤
Bought hubby home stereo at Best Buy Black Friday sale so we will be doing a deep clean in the living room before opening up new boxes etc. and then hopefully put up Christmas tree.
Yay you are back again😊
Putting up our Christmas decorations 😊 ❤

So glad your some better sweetie! I’m keeping you in my prayers my friend. Please hon, when your body tells you enough therapy then please stop n don’t over due.
Your just precious n hubby n I love y’all to pieces.

Happy Saturday Kayla!
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you are feeling better today!
Your blanket is so beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us!
Big hugs! Hi Cissy!
❤
Feel better. Bless you and Big Daddy.
I get what you are saying Mama Kayla. It happens to me a lot. People think that if you are home that you have nothing to do but wait for them.
Hello Kayla, your blanket is coming along well and I love the colors. That is rude they don’t call when late, you could have said heck and went shopping, I’m sure they’d be angry at you, right? ❤lt would serve them right! Glad you’re doing okay.

Can't wait to see your blanket done it's beautiful hope you enjoy the rest of your day Luv Yea ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Miss Kayla Big Daddy and everyone ❤ hope you're having a better day
Yes a nine ❤
Hi Kayla! I'm glad to see you're feeling a tiny bit better, at least. I know what you mean about home healthcare people being late and not calling. I have PCAs who think they can show up whenever they want without letting me know they're going to be late. It's like they believe you don't have a life. Sorry, I went on a rant there. Hang in there, and hopefully, after you call the company, things will get better. Hugs and love to you. 😘🤗❤️🙏
That blanket is going to be beautiful !
Patches is blue healer/Australian shepherd so in know about the hyper and the shedding......I tell him you left a whole nother dog right there...... lol
That is so rude to not call and say I’m running late. We had our first snow today here in Missouri it was pretty while it lasted.❤
You are an inspiration. I love your determination and skill.
Pretty blanket. ❤
I was yawning right along with you as it’s past my bedtime 😂💛
Sharon here.... so good to see you crocheting, keep going, take breaks as needed. The suggestion of the pedaling exerciser is not too taxing and will build up your leg strength. Take care and stand your ground with the time schedule times! Hugs and prayers. 👍❤☺
I love the blanket ❤😊
Loving that green yarn. Prednisone is a steriod. 😊
Glad to see you doing a little crocheting to start building up that muscle strength. Slow and steady wins the race.
I’ve been working on my whimsical Christmas tree named Spruce. It was a kit from Mary Maxim. He will be a gift for our older daughter.

You have gotten lots of great advice about your therapy sessions and the RN being late. You know what to do now…..😉😆
Prayers continue for recovery Kayla……❤️✝️

Your in my prayers Kayla...❤
Baby steps. You will get there. Now that the boys have grown you could have asked him to vacuum before he goes. You need to look after you x
My younger brother used to bring his Golden Retriever to our mom's when he would come stay overnight. She had all hardwood floors, and you could see balls of hair everywhere. Sweetest dog in the world, but she sure did shed. It is Saturday, and we went to Cracker Barrel tonight with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. So many cute things in the store, but I resisted. We have quite a few appointments next week. My husband has sleep apnea, and he's going to be fitted for an APap machine. He has a follow-up with the surgeon after his hernia surgery. Then he has to see the cardiologist to make certain his blood pressure is staying low. I have a dental cleaning and I'm taking my granddaughter to her art class. Then we babysit Friday afternoon. Oh, and I go watch the grandkids at their swim lessons Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evening. Also, I have online therapy once a week over Zoom for one hour. This next week will fly by!
There is no excuse for anyone to be hours late without calling you. Especially when they are there because you have health issues. Certainly unexpected things come up, but a phone call to let you know takes very little effort. Take care, Kayla. I know you're going through a rough time. ❤🙏
I get excited when people are coming, so I'm on high alert, and tire myself out. Yes too many people for one day and if one is running late they will fall on someone else's time and have to wait and you will be over worked and no time for your muscles to rest between exercises. I want to work on my granddaughters afghan, but can't get on the floor anymore. I put some of her rose granny squares away and can't find them. So must make more and thinking if I find them I may just make pillow covers for her later to match afghan. Pics of your family were nice.
Hi Kayla, I'm wondering if you could hang some sort of bag on your IV pole. That way you could put some things in it that you need for cleaning or to use it for anything else. That does sound like a lot for you having everyone coming on the same day. Hopefully you can get it squared away so they don't all come on one day. Pretty rude that they don't let you know if they are coming over or not. I have a craft fair tomorrow.
Hey Kayla, bless you! How I can relate to pain as well!
Ohh! I had same probs w/ P T, so T n different types of nurses coming into my home for so called CARE. No consideration as far as MY time being wasted because they’d show up a half day late!! Guess that’s the norm of today ! You’re the patient, but you do not matter !!
Feel better!!!
Your blanket is so pretty!! Doing a great job… blessings!! Love your babies!! 🎄😻
Love the blanket! You take care❤
Just beautiful colours. Love watching you,. An inspiration for us with a chronic illness. Hope you have a great week to and send my love to you and big daddy. I had a look at book on Amazon's big daddy wrote. So clever. bye for now ❤❤👍👍🙏🙏
Blanket is looking so very beautiful. It is rude that the lady didn't call, I believe in calling and touching base with someone. I love you , I have been thinking about you & your family 👪 ❤ . Get some rest.
Beautiful blanket. Yep, that's the hook you used. I'm sure if you asked the kids would sweep for you before they left. I'm sure they don't realize all the shedding from the dogs. Maybe try pedal excerise that is stationary while sitting you can pedal some. I agree you need to break up your therapy maybe alternative the therapy days.
Hi Kayla your blanket looks beautiful… I’ve got arthritis back trouble and PMR …autoimmune disorder..I’m so cripple live in pain ..I had to start pain management Now Wednesday going for shots in my back pray it helps…I don’t blame you one bit about home health being so late ..I’d go lay down let her turn around and go wherever lol🤣♥️saying a prayer for you
Hi Kayla, with the 'professionals' they've got their own importance + that's why they push push push you. Don't worry if you're in the middle of something, just say well i didn't think you were coming as your so late. Most of the district nurses really good but there's always one bad apple in the bunch.
I'm talking about here in Wales U.K. XxxX ❤😊❤😅❤😮❤😂❤
Hi Kayla, can you get a walker with a seat and what i call my trunk lol, the seat lifts and has a storage, and see if your iv can be attached. then you could get around sit if you need to and put what you can't carry inside the seat area. also you could make or purchase a bag type holder to hang to carry your phone and maybe a pocket to hold your cup of tea.
I agree, it is rude to not communicate if plans change. Hope you can get this worked out.
hello Kayla love you ❤
❤❤😊😊xxxxxlove Carol
I'm off for the weekend. I have get the younger brands here. 9 and 10. Help me decorate for Christmas. I'm just not into it. So I just put up my ceramic tree. Good enough. Its 25 here in Michigan. Trying to snow. Yikes! Be as careful as you can girl. Worry about both of you. Too bad for the nurse if she's that late and you don't hear her. Jean
No they should call ,if late or a new appointment.
It’s always good to see you here on your TH-cam channel. Sounds like Elijah is getting homesick if he is wanted to come home more often on his days off. Could he help clean up the dog hair before he leaves to got home? How long is the drive from your house to his? Love, and prayers.
I pretty much always use a larger hook than it’s called for. The funny thing is I almost never ever use.I-9. I don’t know why I just never use that hook. I mostly use.J-10, AndK…10 1/2 hooks. I also like.H……8. I enjoyed those sizes even before I became legally blind. When using a five weight yarn, I have a very old couple of metal.N love
Your idea of putting six squares in the middle instead of the straight up and down three or four is really interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the blanket turns out. And those colors are really gorgeous. Like you, green is not my go to color at all , but these greens are really nice. I have to admit that I have become partial to lime green, which I think is a warm green, and very pretty.
It is cold in Idaho but not like my friends and family in the Midwest snd East are going thru at the moment.
I would be frustrated too! Very unprofessional to leave you hanging. Your blanket is coming out very nice.
So if it’s prednisone that made you make that goal, what is my excuse??? LOL. Oh yeah - mine is procrastination. I’m terrible - I’d like to make 6 hat and scarf hat sets. 🤔. Maybe that’ll work out. 😄😁😂🤣. Ruth
I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope you can get stronger. Do you think it's a lack of a mineral? Can you call the office or the person who is so late? I used to work for a home care and hospice as a secretary, and that was totally unacceptable. Hugs for a better day! 🥰
Keeping you in my thoughts n prayers. . I'm sick been trying to fight but it's wearing me down. Please say a prayer for me.❤❤❤
Prayers for you Barbara
Get the guests to vacuum up the dog hair. I’m sure they won’t mind. They just don’t notice.
I am going to get big yarn to crochet
What works for me is not using the cane when I need to carry something use your Walker and hang a bag on it of some kind so that you can put whatever you need to transfer from room to room in the bag and it'll be with you
Hi Kayla, what happened to your “house purse”? If it has a shoulder strap you can put the stuff you need to carry around in it and still use your cane and have one hand free to push your feeding tube pole. Take care of your wonderful self!
Honestly, the people who come to your house to help, should have the common sense to let you know if they are going to be late. That’s just basic good manners.
And, I thought that it was a little mud that everybody came on Friday. I think that would have worn anybody out. I hope that never happens again.
When my husband was home from the hospital, and the physical therapist came out, she had doing some things that I thought were more harmful, then not. So, I stepped in, and told the coordinator while I thought. The physical therapist simply disappeared. He was much too sick to do the things that she wanted him to do. sometimes he just has to advocate for yourself, and I know that you will do that. You are not exactly a shrinking violet.❤❤
When it comes to dog hair I have a lot of it I have 2 boxer bull dogs they have very short hair but they shed like crazy I don't have central air or heat that would help a lot with the hair so I have nothing to clean the air in my house I can sweep 30 mins later you can't even tell I swept there's as much hair or more I hate the dog hair but I do love my animals so I do the best I can with the hairs hope you start feeling better soon
My daughter said mom loves having her kids and hates having her kids home with the grandkids, I said no I just remove myself 😅😅😅
I’m wishing they had helped you with the cleaning Kayla before they left. Your boys know your limitations.
I am sure the home nurse doesn't mean to be rude, sometimes oopsies happen and patients before you take longer, and it adds up. I would say something to her when she gets there, you could say that because everything takes so much longer time to do it would be nice if she rings you or even just text you say she will be late ant get there about such and such .... Before you go lay down just give her a ring back on the number she called you from ask what time.
Request the company who does the scheduling to space them out during the week and if they can't why?
Haven't really felt like doing much, am in Green Bay and it has been consistently cold around 20 daytime with icy winds all week. Bad enough I had to go shopping and bank yesterday. So am crocheting and keeping bundled up.
I am in agreement on how it seems people no longer respect our time. A gal I've known since 1962, who cannot drive now, has been told since September that she needs a biopsy to check some lumps for cancer. They have scheduled it 4 times then called to postpone just 2-3 hours before the appointment. Her son took off a day of work 3 times in October then they got that call. So a dad, with family to support missed 3 days work. The last time I volunteered to drive her so he would not miss work again. She lives 110 miles from me. I went a day early, spent the night on her couch. Then that doctors ofc called to postpone again as we were walking out the door.
Now you can add to your prayers, I am going back down Wednesday. It's scheduled now for this Thursday. We can use some favor, first with a clear report on the biopsy but also that they will actually do the biopsy this time.
That blanket is beautiful. Very interesting pattern in granny stitches. You definitely don’t need them all to come on the same day. That’s too much for you😢. You overdid and that’s not good. When you start getting tired and you hit, stop.
