ANOTHER DAY-HOORAY

            I want to clear something up. The dummies thing does not mean that people who are disabled are dummies. I was referring to those books that help when you don't know what to do. Which is most of the time for me.
            This weekend was hectic as usual. I try to get hubby out as much as possible. He doesn't  drive anymore which is good as he may choose the gas pedal instead of the brake. We have this memory problem. When I left the house he said I hope your name is the same when you get back. well that's what I live with.
             Something I have done is make a daily list.Up at 7- shower -shave-brush teeth. 8- breakfast-pills-paper, 9-exercise,10- snack etc. If we change the schedule all heck breaks loose. He is very confused. So this really works. But you have to list everything or it will not be done. gotta go but I will get better at this. Please be patient. Bye

Before the new world

4-8-11
                    Good evening and welcome to my world.  My old world of life ended with a beautiful cruise to the west coast..  I had to prove to my hubby that he needed double knee surgery.  Well........... Let me tell you, THINK TWICE  before you do this.  A little bit about me before we go on.I am   63  and I look 50 and act like I am 21. I taught 500 kids a day for 30 years(music, choirs and stuff). Never sent a kid to the office. The biggest discipline problem in my classes was me. Now I teach 40 students piano. So a nancy nurse  I am NOT.
                      When your hubby "hits the wall"- double knee surgery, a prostate the size of New Jersey, a stroke TIAs  and blood clots. THINGS CHANGE.  So I wanted to share with anyone out there who is going through this type of life. I will warn you this will be humorus. Because if you cannot laugh about your new adventures, you will not survive. I will be back another day to share stories so far.
