Asking for prayers please? http://cubits.org/metoo/thread/view/71850/ |

Need prayers for Dorothy please. Message is from her Sister Marti. I took Dorothy to UK today for her heart cath to be done to check her pulmonary pressures and she did fine until about 1/2 hour after the procedure than her blood pressure bottomed out and so did her pulse and she went into Afib. They admitted her for the night and said if she doesn't get back to sinus rhythm, they were going to sedate her and shock her to get her heart to convert back to sinus rhythm. So far she seems to be coming around and if not further problems she'll be coming home tomorrow. I just go home from Lexington and have been on my feet since 5 am this morning. I'm going to bed. Just called the hospital. They moved her to another room and it looks like she will be spending another night. The nurse was busy and will call me back with more details. |

Poor Ms Dorothy Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. |

Thank you, LK, for bringing this to our attention. My prayers go out to Debra and her sister. ![]() ![]() |

o my....... poor Dorothy. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. She's been through so much. Thank you, Marti, for letting us know. You're an ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Oh My so good she was in the hospital and could get immediate care. |

I just got an email from my sister Alice: My Mom is not able to go into assisted living, as she's too frail. If the main door (a heavy one, to be sure) is closing on her, she couldn't stop it and go through. She'd get hurt by it. The assisted living home also has long hallways, and Mom would get tired. They said she's a lovely person, but too frail and couldn't accept her. Mom is upset of course. My brother says he can take care of her, but my 3 sisters disagree. They want her to have 5 days of Home Care (Tues & Fri she's picked up for a "day outing" from 8am to 3pm so doesn't need Home Care then). He doesn't want Home Care when he's there, but none of us care about his feelings........ He doesn't work on Sunday/Monday when they'd come, but he's able to go out with friends, etc on those days anyway. It would give him his life back. I think guilt about her care, and the fact that he's too "close" to her as they're in the same house, is his problem. He tried to tell 2 of my sisters, Alice & Ruth, that it was none of their business. Ruth said "No..... it IS our business." and she was so adamant that he finally shut up. The 4 of them (Stan & 3 sisters) are having a meeting at Stan & Mom's house on Sunday, and Alice asked for my input on the Home Care issue and I also want them to look into the banking. Mom gets $1600/month in pension, etc, and apparently Stan is transferring it into a high interest account, and if Mom writes a cheque for $50 it's bounced. She wrote one for her SIL's birthday, and it bounced. It's possible Stan has the pension $$ going directly into the High Interest account, and that's why there's no $$ in her regular chequing account. I wish I were in Winnipeg during this time especially. It's distressing to not be there when the rest of the family is, with Mom. ![]() |

Sounds like Stan has his own interest at heart, and honestly thinks that your mum don't need any money. Good Lord, it's hers! I'm so sorry Susan that you're too far from them. Perhaps you could ask your sisters to 'represent' you? In other words, whatever the majority agree to.. you'd do likewise? There's a legal term for it, I can't remember what? Ex and I were overseas, and we don't have the luxury to fly back and forth when FIL's situation demanded our attention. Ex gave his sister permission to act on his behalf, but of course, he had let our lawyer know then. That verbal recording helped out Louella against the other sister whose DH was thinking of his own pocket. Thanks for the info LK. God knows Marti and Dorothy need each other. Heavy duty prayers will be said for Dorothy's heart to be in sync with her sinus rhythm. Sniffing away today. Yesterday morning it was 40* and I didn't worry about the brugs. Wrong, unexpected frost that killed the leaves. Kel asked me whether it's okay to trim off the dead leaves before he bring them in to the g/h. Consented, but didn't check on them until this morning. He had lobbed off ALL the top branches, even the ones that had Y'd!! Do the leaves look like branches?? It's not like I had never explain to him the flower production of brugmansias. He has helped me grow and killed them for years. Of course he's aware. His excuse was they'd Y'd again next year ![]() |

Jaye - thank you, dear sistah ![]() Stan does have Mom's best interest at heart, and has been doing banking for her for a long time. Guess he didn't think she would be writing cheques. She does, for birthdays and such. He's such a control freak! The word you're thinking of is "proxy". I've sent an email to Alice to let her know (plus I told her on the phone) that I agree with the 5 days of Care, and there was something else I agreed with, but can't recall ![]() ![]() I Want To Be In Winnipeg at the meeting on Sunday!! Darn - my online banking is "down" and they're working to restore service...... wonder if it has anything to do with servers in NY? I have no idea if Canadian servers are in the US, but suppose it's a possibility...... ![]() |
|

If your bank uses a clearing house in NY, yes you'd have to wait... That's it!! PROXY!!! You got it! |

Jaye, those brugs are tougher than you think. Maybe even make new leaves. Oh, Marti, Charley and I are saying prayers for Dorothy. Debra and Sherry in my prayers too. many blessing for you all.... |
|
|||
Dorothy is added to my prayers. Thank God she has such a caring sister. Prayers for all those who need them. Life is fragile, handle with prayer. |
|
|||
Jaye, Charleen is right, they will produce more leaves! Even if he cut the stem, they will still grow! |
|
|||
He can cut all the stems he want, but not the Ys!!! It's not that he doesn't know any better, after all he's very involve in brug survival since 2008. I forgave him when the gh was experiencing heating problems and killed so many.. but this. I don't have much left, but he should know better that Not all brugs Y'd easily ![]() That's okay sistahs.. I just cut his allowance. This month, no more art magazine ![]() You should see my "Superspot". It looks like a bonsai!!!! |
|
|||
Wait.. I got more to tell. When I asked him where did he put those limbs. His answer.. off to the trash pile!!! Year after year, he had been carrying buckets for me to put the cuttings in!! So.. who wants a used husband? ![]() ![]() |

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes...I am home now but not out of the woods yet. My heart still wants to jump into AFib, have appt with the Cardiologist who did my heart cath coming up, until then it is activity as tolerated. Am also now on Warfarin and have to get frequest blood tests until I level out with the dosage which will be titrated ...mgs changed depending on what blood test shows. Being on an CICU does nothing for a person getting any rest...or sleep so will be going to bed early tonight. And you are right...I am so blessed having Mary here...not only is she my sister but my best friend...she truly is a gift from the most High...and I thank the Gods every minute of the day for her. I just hope I am able to do the same for her when and if it becomes necessary. http://cubits.org http://cubits.org/gourds/ http://cubits.org/Diabetes/ http://cubits.org/DMEnterprises/store Tahlmorra lujhala mei wiccan (The fate of a man rests always within the hands of the gods) |
