oooo...... a cranky one...... lol

It does have it moments of hilarity.....I guess you just gotta laugh sometimes at how your life can be changed in a blink of an eye....and somehow we adapt to change. This might sound odd or cruel......but sometimes I wish I didn't have that mode of humanity in me. There's just something inside me that when we go to see my grandmother and then when we leave, I have this feeling like we're abandoning her. Although I know we aren't....it's just that crazy sense of humanity.

I did get to meet one of the other "residents"......Judith Cook.....she seems to be the resident person in charge of keeping the pond area clean. I actually went outside to look at the fish and see if I could locate all 5 turtles they have and I did. Showed her some of them.....got her life story.....she was leaning over to look at one of the turtles I saw under a bush and then she says to me:

Can I get a hand?

So I said: Sure, for what?

She said: No, literally YOUR HAND!

I was like....OHHHHH....

She was about to fall down.....duh on me! :icon14:

FIESTY is more like it.....and I do mean FIESTY!

i tried my grandfathers out, and of course i had to try to wheelie the damn thing. i need to stick to 2 wheels because i was on my back before i new it.

thats good, thats means there's alot of fire still in her

in my defense, the wheelchair i used had a huge "AMG" sticker on it, so i thought it had better handling..... i was wrong

:icon17: I considered the wheelie thing.....but couldnt for the life of me figure out how they do it....so I left well enough alone and was happy that I was able to back up in reverse! :bowrofl:

Shes still quite strong....physcially.....its the mental part that sucks.

damn fellas it's getting chilly here, last night was the first night since june when my a/c shot craps that my windows are closed

dementia sucks

here in LA it's beginning to cool a little also.

Indeed....and now shes getting night terrors.....or something similar......always getting scared for some reason. Unfamiliar place.....shes not around her family much.....its quite scary, I'm sure. :(

same with my grandfather, since his stroke he has no long term memory( which is really hard for me because we hung out all the time) and now he is just, there if you know what i mean, happy but just there

did u insulate that renovation room yet??

Your Right! tuff on the family who have loved ones with it.

Be on the watch for the dreaded TPMS light to come on.....it did for me when the temp in VA changed ever so slightly. Asked Altered Atmosphere about it and they agreed.....the TPMS can be set off by changes in temp.

TPMS = P.I.T.A. (in certain cases, of course) :rolleyes:

yes, and then i have two bloodhounds that luv to eat the stuff, no drywall on the exterior wall yet. i'll show a pic tomorrow. i'm embarrassed

u said she has long term memory only, so ur home is what she remembers

Sometimes I wish my grandmother was "happy but just there"....unfortunately, shes here and not always happy! :p

That seems to be the case....she remembers a lot about the house.....that she doesnt have her purse, her slippers, that the house needs to be cleaned....but when it comes to something new and current....she'll look at ya and agree.....2 minutes later....you can say the same thing to her and you'll get a totally different response from her. That's the part I hate most.

tony, i can mail u a book that talks about dementia.... interesting book.... and when u r done.. .. mail it back

is it true that you can take it to the dealer to top off the tires with nitrogen?

anyways, i'm off


laters

later nogood

good night nogood, sweet dreams

Hmmmm......I've heard mention of this....but dont know much more about it, tho. When I got the AccessPORT added, the TPMS light shut off and so far hasn't come back on. Not sure if thats what stopped it but so far it hasn't been back on since the install.

PM sent, nogood......have a good one.....:tiphat:

i repped him for that offer, hell of a nice thing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea my tire pressure has been solid. I lowered it due to the dealer over inflating them but was curious about adding air, or a dealer visit was required.

that's what i like about this forum most of the people I've surrounded myself with have been very helpful and yes very funny, my online home.

pm replied....

I had to visit the dealer after getting the new wheels & tires added. They came with a new TPMS, I decided not to use the same one that came with the factory wheels & tires. I had to go get the dealer to "marry up" the new TPMS with the computer. That was when the dealer saw my car for the first time and gave me the ol' :icon08:!

"sweet dreams r meant to be......"


oh jeez....song stuck in my head now.... :icon08:
