The Wheel keeps revolving.....
Good Morning Everyone,
I had a few moments to post to let everyone know I am still wheeling around and very stressed. My dad had a very serious set-back Thursday morning when I went in mid-morning to check on him. He was very feverish, very sluggish, and not with it. He told me he did not feel good at all. So, I, aka "Hellcat" as my dad calls me when I become the explosive temperament I carry, went in and demanded that an appointment be made with my parents doctor to be seen. I had to fight, but I won, and at 4 pm, dad and I were in at the doctor's office and then his doctor seen him and immediately had him shipped to our hospital ER and then the very close call we had started....
He was having problems breathing. Now, dad is an old smoker, but quit many years ago, but he was for many years, a fireman on our local fire department, and battled blazes when there was no equipment like the firefighters have now. He also was a Navy aircraft crash crew member and cleaned up and fought aircraft crash fires, also the same way, with very little equipment and his lungs are seered from the high heat. By the time I got him admitted into ER, the RN's were all over him, and got him fluids, and a CPAP to help his breathing, by 8:30 pm, he was in distress with his breathing, and there for a while, I was sure that I was going to lose him. The ER doctors told me if the care center waited until Friday morning to get him to the doctor, I would not have him here. They gave me hugs and patted me on the back to be his champion to get him here when he needed help. He had a very quick moving pneumonia, from flu going around the care center, and it hit him very badly as he has compromised lungs. The team in ER was able to stabilize him, and he was moved into ICU where he is now. I went yesterday and last night and he looked so much better, and was doing better and breathing better. He is so compromised because of the stroke and he also is not doing well at the care center where he is now, he hates the food there as it is bad, (I have eaten with dad there and I agree), he is not eating well and he hates the PT woman that they have there, as she is a bitch with a very abrasive temperment for being a PT at a care center. I am now having issues with this care facility and am looking to see if I can move him to another. I am not sure if I can, but I will be on top of things when he is released back, and I will be the hell cat that I am to see that he gets care and rehab.
So I have been running, and in the mean time, checking on my mom, and running errands, and just being stressed more. I do not see this stopping for a long time at the moment.
D helps as he can, he was going to look into taking a part time job driving, but now, it looks like I need him home here more. We will just have to play it by ear for now.
As I have mentioned I will try to compose a post about the experiences I have had. I am also going to compose a post about the care center issue which I think everyone needs to be aware of also. At the moment, I am too tired, stressed and will not be able to post correctly without emotion, and I want to inject a fair and non judgmental post. I do want people to be aware of things and what needs to be checked and done for the sake of loved ones in someone else's care and what the rules and issues are. So I will do this when I can take on this post with fairness, and insight to be fair to all.
I will now get ready to go and get some things done before I head back to ICU for my dad, and I will post later when I can, and keep all posted.
Thank you for all of your support, love, blessings, thoughts and karma, as it means the world to me and my family. Thank you.

Back from Sabbatical and Exhausted
Good Morning Everyone,
I thought I'd better pop in and let everyone know I am still breathing, though I am absolutely exhausted and run down. I have been sleeping on average over 10-12 hours with it averaging 12 hours usually. I have only done this if I was very sick or when I had my surgeries. I am personally shocked. And when I get up, I am tired, and feel I am in a dazed and confused state. What a way to be in.
I just want to thank all of you for your concerns, blessings, get wells and just being there for us. Just knowing all of the love, thoughts are surrounding us means the world to me. Thank you so much!
My dad is doing much better, but he will have issues with motor skills on the left side. I am so very thankful that he has his mental capacity, though he cannot remember streets or areas. He can feed himself, and has most of his mental abilities, though names of people sometimes throw him. He is in a care center, which he does not like, but he knows that he has to be there to get well and to get home, which is my goal. At home, I will be able to handle and care for him and my mom, with some help from Home Health nurses. It will be a slow process, and he has his goals to get home, that is all he has on his mind.
About two weeks ago, Dad had another very tiny stroke, and this set him back somewhat. Before, he was up and motoring around good, but this last little stroke, did set him back from the goals. He is coming out of this last episode well, though it has made some motor skill changes to him. He is still looking good, and getting around good. I am thankful and blessed.
My mom is ok, but mentally is not doing good with Dad being gone. After Dad had his first stroke, I had two weeks of her panicking as to where he was. She is doing somewhat better now, though its been over a month now. I have done nothing but run to Kearney hospital and back, and then the hospital here and back and the care center for Dad and then their home, and then my home. I now can see why I am tired.....
While all of this was going on, we managed to get to Council Bluffs Iowa to finish D's work comp hearing and settlement. This was a long drawn out process of eight full hours of the mediator running from one sealed room to another making settlement bids. We were sealed in a room, it was relaxed but you couldn't run around the office, you could take potty breaks, and lunch and coffee was provided for and we were treated very well by D's attorney and staff. The good news: D won his case, was was presented with a monetary amount. It is not much when everyone gets their fingers out of the pie, but it will help with his lifetime medical and it left us with enough to get into a home. We will be careful with it and being frugal.
Right up to the end, the employer denied that they did anything wrong, and felt that they were railroaded. But the Iowa work comp commissioner felt otherwise, awarding D his settlement. I am so glad it is over. We are now in the process of waiting for papers to be signed and FedEx'ed back and forth. D signed everything first, and overnight ed everything back to his attorney, then papers were sent to the other side's attorney, but D's attorney had to call her and threaten her again as she was not signing papers quickly and getting everything sent to the commissioner's office for sign off on his part. They are still dragging it out, but D called yesterday and was told that the papers were signed and sent, and then the check from the other side will be sent to D's attorney and they will put it in the trust account, and then issued his monetary amount and it will be done. What a ride this has been, and hopefully the end of another very stressful situation, four years is too much to endure
.
I have nothing else to talk about, except just a lot of stress. I will however here soon, do a blog on my experience with my dad in the hospital and what I think all of you, especially here in the US should be on the lookout for and be aware of. It pertains with the Obamacare, and you will not like what you will run into. This will be a separate blog post and I will do my best to fill in what happened. I am not sure if all states will run this way or do what I had experienced in the hospital, especially here in my community. But I feel it needs to be brought to your attention and just be aware of what may be asked of you or your family in a crisis situation.
I will try to do this post sometime over the weekend, or work on it over a week as it will be pretty lengthy.
Other than that, nothing is going on. I do not think that I will be able to do much gardening, except maybe some things in my pots. I am just not going to have time. I am trying to make time just for me, and that is hard as my parents are clingy now and I am now the parent, making decisions, I know that it must be done, but I do not like the position that I am in and sometimes being the bad guy now. I am so very thankful that the care center where my dad is at is a loving, supporting place for both residents and family. Last Friday, I had a one hour council session with the director in which I was enveloped with a lot of love, support and was encouraged to talk, cry, piss and moan, which at first I did not do, but then about fifteen minutes into the session, the tears flowed, and I voiced my fears, and goals, and then I felt so much better and was able to look at everything in a better light. I have never been to a council session before. I am not one to talk to others about what is going on, but here, I needed to. And yes, I did feel better.
Well, I need to get going, I am trying to place catch-up with my housework, and other home care I need to do, and then later this week, I have to go to my parents home, and do housework there also. Then off to the care center to see my dad, which I do at least twice a day. The director did slow me down and intervened with my dad, very gently that I was doing too much running and that no one wanted me to get sick and be down on the count too, so I have been going to the center in the evenings after supper. I started my mom on meals on wheels for lunch and this helps me a lot for meal prep. So things are somewhat slowing down some. We are supposed to have some stormy weather moving in on the weekend and I need to get everything ready for that too.
High-Ho, High-Ho, its off to work I go!!!!!!
I wish everyone a wonderful upcoming weekend, and I will try to blog later.
Thank you again, everyone for your support.

Hamster in a Wheel
Good Morning Everyone,
Well, I sit here this morning, having a very welcome cup of coffee, though I have had to really cut back the consumption of coffee as I have had a lot since last Wednesday and Thursday and back home. I was starting to get the jitters, and the caffeine was affecting my heart rate. I am not really to have too much coffee, as I do not have a thyroid anyway, and my heart rate gets a little jumpy anyway.
Well, first, my dad is doing pretty well, considering he did have a stroke and an embolism. They did a large amount of tests, and could not pinpoint the embolism. His left arm, and side and leg are affected and I am very upset that I do have to put him in a care facility here for rehab and occupational therapy. Our hope is he will progress and then I can get him home and have home health come in and give me a hand with both of my parents. My mother is ok but is very confused and emotional at times. She is doing about as best as I can do at this moment.
Me, I am trying to keep my strength up. I am absolutely exhausted. When my head hits the pillow at night, my brain, body and emotions are at their point of no return. But if I can sleep well, I am able to hit the day running.
Wednesday, D and I went to the Kearney hospital and seen my dad, then we went on to Council Bluffs Iowa, where D had his work comp mediation hearing on Thursday morning. That was also a very stressful, and somewhat emotional event also. It took from 9am to 2pm to settle this case. D won his case, if you could call it that, and it is settled. My downside is he is disabled, and the company will not cover his medical that he needs. We could not go any further with this company. D was awarded a monetary amount, which we will invest, and I am looking into medical accounts for medical treatments. But this monetary amount is small, and will never bring back D's health status like he was before. I feel blessed that he got what he did and we will work with what has been awarded, but again, D will never be the same. They denied that they even did anything out of the ordinary, even with four doctors on D's side confirming his disability. They did not see anything wrong with not having work comp or even worry about their workers. So my word to the wise is: If you work for someone, please carry your own work comp insurance or a disability policy as you are not protected at any job anymore. I know because we have been through this and if you have someone in the family who works, they are NOT protected by company work comp. I do not care what they tell you. DO NOT believe any company anymore or anyone telling you that you will be ok, as you won't. Enough said about this. The attorney D had on this case was phenomenal, and was one of the best attorneys I have seen work for his client. This was the third attorney we had on this case from the beginning four years ago. We are all glad its over and we can now get back to living a somewhat normal life.
I just wanted to stop to check blogs from everyone, and then I am off this morning to pick my dad up from the hospital in Kearney and bring him home to the care facility for his rehab. It is about 100 miles one way, and I have a stiff wind blowing from the northwest. We have a storm brewing from the west or southwest for Thursday, so I need to get him home safe, and then I am hoping I can stop and rest a little and maybe do some quilting. ( I am trying Morning Minion). I am going to stop this morning in Kearney at a quilt shop to pick up a few tools that I need that I cannot find here in my town. I am going to peek at a little fabric also. Not much as I cannot afford much but I have a quilt in mind, Morning Minion sent me a pattern and that is my base to start this quilt. I am hoping this will save my sanity while I have all of this going on in my life.
So other than this going on. I have been holding fast. I want to stop and thank all of you for your blessings, prayers, thoughts, and kindness. It is through all of you that I find strength and hope. I hope that all of you realize how much I love and value all of your readership and contact. This is what will get me through this very tough time in my life.
I will try to blog more at the end of the week or weekend. I will see how everything goes.
Until then, love and hugs to all.

Thoughts
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I just wanted to post that I will be on a Sabbatical for a little while. My dad has a stroke on Sunday morning and I have been hitting the ground (barely) for the last 48 hours. We had a small blizzard Sunday morning, and it took me a little while to get to my parent's house. The med unit picked him up and took him to the ER. And at 1:15 pm, and in a snow storm, I had him transported to a wonderful hospital about 100 miles away that has a neuro unit for stroke patients. His status is better than he was on Sunday, but he will need very intense physical therapy, care and help as his left arm and leg is not working. I talked to his day nurse this morning and she told me his strength as improved a 360* from Sunday when she got him on her floor. He is able to feed himself, but needs help with the bathroom and other things. So, I have been stressed, and since I am the only one to be able to do things, its been a flood of emotions, but I have been trying to be like a rock, as my mother is not taking this too well. She has her moments as she cannot remember what happened or where he is.
The hospital put me in touch with a RN who does home health and house checks, so I don't need to worry about my mother while I am gone to Council Bluffs with this hearing. I will be stopping by the hospital tomorrow to talk with the doctors and the case worker who is handling my dad's care. I will know better at that time, what is going on. And then on to the WC hearing and I hope that I can keep my composure as this will be just as intense.
I ask for strength, and prayers from all. I feel the love and strength and karma.
I will keep you posted.
Love and Hugs

Nothing out of the ordinary
Good Morning Everyone,
I thought I'd better post to show I am still around. Its the same ol' day to day doing's. I am trying to get work done around the house.
Sounds like we "may" get a snowstorm/blizzard? Notice I use a question mark. Its too early to see the path of this storm. The weather guru's are saying two different sides. The first is the blizzard from hell with a lot of snow, and then the gentler side of mostly a rain/ snow mix. We'll see. For us, since this is coming out of the Southwest and maybe into the four corner region of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado, and depending on the situation of this storm, and the track, it will influence the path and the amount of snow or rain we get here. So, I am just waiting to see later what is going on and if I need to do just a little errands before this hits. We are also waiting to see if this storm affects our trip east. We will just have to see.
Other than that, its quiet, except for the normal things that I do at home or for my parents, who do keep me going, or sometimes running around in a fit of insanity, on occasions.
So, I think that I will get going. I need to run errands this morning early, to my most un- favorite place, Walmart, I have to put some money on D's Walmart card, so he can eat. He will not be in till this weekend, probably when this storm is bearing down, which I hope not.
Until later, please take care everyone.

I thought I'd better post to show I am still around. Its the same ol' day to day doing's. I am trying to get work done around the house.

Going's on
Good Morning Everyone,
I am sorry that I have not posted for awhile. I have had a lot going on, of life getting in the road again. We got notified that D has a mediation hearing in Council Bluffs Iowa on Valentine's Day. What a day to have a work comp mediation on. I am truly hoping that this will settle and end the four years of stress.
I may be down from the computer for a little while. I have to take my computer in today to the repairman to check it. I picked up some adware and maybe something else and so I am going to get it cleaned out and checked out. So I may be AWOL for a bit.
Other than that, I will take my leave for a little bit. I will try to use D's laptop to log on. I know that the last time I did that, it didn't work too well. Some places I go, like the bank, does not recognize the browser and it shuts down everything. So I will see. I will try to at least check all of you, and keep posted as to what everyone is doing.
Take care all
Hugs
