Some days I feel demented, but hardly with delight. We are still adjusting, but I plan for it to get better. My mom is still happily at home. We are holding our breath, hoping she doesn't have another fall or other incident. We are checking in with her every day, and reminding her to be careful. I hope your dad is dong okay... it is indeed a challenge. judy in kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810068743975026564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-33220787931289177332013-02-19T14:30:33.368-08:002013-02-19T14:30:33.368-08:00I would have thought that the question would be &q...I would have thought that the question would be "How am I going to cope with him having all this time on his hands?"<br /> the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-15039797216753014662013-02-19T14:02:19.851-08:002013-02-19T14:02:19.851-08:00Good luck Judy!
Those 'happy retirement' ...Good luck Judy!<br /> Those 'happy retirement' advertising pictures are a bit much aren't they - the people chosen by ad agencies featured on the walls of retirement villages here look absolutely demented with delight.<br /> Yesterday the pamphlet for my seniors card featured a "look -no hands' elderly woman sliding down a slippery dip laughing in 'what the hell' abandonment. Said to my Mum 'she won't be laughing so hard when her cocxyx crumbles at the bottom' - take that as you will.<br />How is your Mum going now? My dad is presently in hospital. I think of you and your husband as we face the challenges we have with a resilient practicality.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-56365335986424232262013-02-19T12:19:23.799-08:002013-02-19T12:19:23.799-08:00Well, I hope you'll come to find retirement as...Well, I hope you'll come to find retirement as enjoyable as I do - I stopped work under the most difficult circumstances, but haven't looked back since. A reduced income was a great trade for free time and no stress. Good luck, both of you!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.com
