Hi Marcy. Are you close to the end of your renovation? I am contemplating re-doing the bathroom in the master bedroom before I put the house on the market. To be honest, I am really afraid to begin that adventure. Any helpful hints?

MarcyW882921 · ‎09-16-2023

I would say I'm about 75% done with my project. I think you are justified in being afraid to begin a renovation before selling and with other issues that you have going on. You never know what problems they will find when they rip something out. It's just like it is on those HGTV shows! In addition, when they are working, you lose your personal space and your house becomes a kind of obstacle course. Then there is the unknown of when the workers are going to show up. I'm only doing mine because I plan to stay here. If I was moving, I would leave it for the prospective buyer to do the way they want it.

I don't know if that was the kind of helpful you were looking for but it is what I can say from my experience.

Evening all, I got back from Ohio for my wife's memorial last Saturday. It both sad and uplifting at the same time. My family got through it and my kids delivered some very special comments about their Mom. We did not share our comments prior, but the words nurturing, strong, funny, bold, loving and caring came out in all of our comments. It was a needed step for us to move forward. One special item was my son (youngest at 28) found a memory box with note cards for the guests to write down their favorite memory of my wife. Later that evening, after the event was over, my family was sitting outside relaxing and we took turns reading from the stack as we passed the cards around. It was so touching and special. I suggest that you all try it at a memorial too.

So up next for my journey is a few birthdays and the holidays. I'll be ready...

Take care y'all, Bill

MarcyW882921 · ‎09-14-2023

Bill @BillH490171 , This sounds beautiful! Our family read all of the Email and social media tributes to my husband after his celebration of life service. It is very special to hear about the happy times your loved one had and how they touched other people's lives.

Marcy, thanks for the response and it is special. Reflections on how our spouses impacted others beyond our immediate family is precious.

Have a great weekend, Bill

Cadee2719 · ‎09-14-2023

I am glad that the memorial was uplifting for you and your family. YOU are getting stronger each day and seem to be taking all the necessary steps to continue the healing. I wish you Peace and Happiness on your continued journey.

I'm sorry about your allergies Nicole

Yes, I know lots with allergies. I believe they have allergy shots now that work good. Expensive. But if people have Medicare, probably can do. Also those over 55 should get Shingles vaccine. You get one. Then six months later another one. Medicare again should cover it.

I never got a reaction from flu shot before. Must be old age thing. lol.

MarcyW882921 · ‎09-13-2023

Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT. Can't you just get the flu shot at a pharmacy or Publix with your Medicare? Do you think it might be risky to skip it?

Interesting about the pneumonia vaccine. I just got one last Friday and the pharmacist told me I was done and wouldn't need anything further.

I acquired allergies in adulthood and they aren't fun. I did the shots years ago. My allergies took a hiatus during the pandemic and so far I've been managing by taking an antihistamine at night. I hope you find something that gives you some relief!

Marcy

MarcyW882921 · ‎09-14-2023

So sorry Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT that you are going throught this with your switch to Medicare. I have faith that this will eventually get resolved and thing will become easier.🙏🏻

Marcy

Cadee2719 · ‎09-13-2023

So glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself. Still waiting on tests results. They said some would require more time to translate, so I will be patient. I am using the walker and that is helping to alleviate the pain on the side I injured in the fall. My grandson came to visit and is returning to college this weekend. He made my day for me. Allergies are REALLY bad this year. I guess it is due to all the rain. Sleep tight.🛏💤

MarcyW882921 · ‎09-13-2023

Thank you Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT . Yes today I have had a lot of people here and they have made some progress. I hope it continues!🤞

Marcy

Cadee2719 · ‎09-13-2023

Good morning! Have been busy since returning

from KY. I’m still unpacking. Haven’t even been

to the food store yet! Very busy day yesterday

along with trouble on the forums. Lost a bid on a

condo in Lancaster, which has me very bummed.

My leg is better but has a huge lump there. Doesn’t

hurt to walk so I’m watching it. Wishing you all a

blessed Tuesday 💜

BeatleloverKT · ‎09-11-2023

@SummerIsTooHOT I am fine, super busy day, too

much to tell. Still unpacking as well. This site will

not let me send a private message today 😡 so

hence why this post. I appreciate the concern 💜

Going in for more blood test; this time for the cardiologist. Beatle I know how hard it is to go to the doctors but I feel now is the time that we MUST take care of ourselves. As a caregiver I was at the doctors and the hospitals every month with my husband until he was in Hospice Care. It was exhausting, BUT necessary and I did whatever was necessary to ease his pain. Now WE are the ones that need the attention and it is frightening and overwhelming BUT you matter, you need to care about YOU. As a nurse this is out of the ordinary for you as you have cared for so many others BUT now my dear IT IS TIME TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AND SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR LEG. Do it for all of us here that care about you. Now I will step down from my soap box and get prepared to go in for more blood tests. I have discovered that my heart and mind is still young, but my body is old and falling apart!😂 Thank You Nicole for checking on all of us and I hope that you are taking good care of yourself as well.

mc6844 · ‎09-12-2023

Thank you Nicole for checking on everyone. I hope you're taking care too. Not so easy when we're not agile anymore. We all just need to slow down.

That is great. I enjoy having friends invite me over for a visit. I have had neighbors over maybe 8-10 times for a happy hour - really great time for me- I do not think of the past we share current stories/Jokes/travel experiences. Last week I had my first get together at my place with six guests. - Turned out great - Also, friends have invited me on a cruise with them which I am planning on doing. We will hook up our reservations maybe do a few meals together, do some tours, attend shows etc. So I will not be "by myself" all the time

Something else I discovered is that many things bring back memories. My wife and I would always attend church together - I have to force myself to do it as it brings back memories.

Anyhow I take it a day at a time and life is getting better. House still seems very empty so I bike first thing every morning gets some endorphins going and starts the day on a good note.

Please let us know how the social worked out.
