Tabrina and everybody else, would you care to cut my list and paste in more words until we get a Listo Magnifico? Adding to the list could be fun despite your present story!

What are yours like? I often look to my cats for material. Here's one my cats use to celebrate a recent visit to the litterbox: " Prrrrrrrt!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 I'm the same way, Elyse! I naturally acquiesce to anyone in authority, including police officers, firemen, teachers, bosses, ministers, postmen, meter readers, you name it. Basically, I've always had a difficult time drawing the line between standing up for myself and respecting authority. Perhaps I translate everything into " authority " , so I have an excuse not to stand up for myself? Does this make any sense? Interestingly, I can teach a class of adults and be totally at ease and " in my element " , like water to a duck. Yet, on the job, I have to put tons of mental and emotional effort into keeping myself balanced, so as not to say something I'd be sorry for, and to not have a " bad attitude " . As for bosses, I've always been much more comfortable with male bosses and teachers. SmileS! Carol Elyse <VwaLuhh> wrote: >Anyone here have problems with authority figures...like bosses?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Gail Sorry, have racked my brain and can't come up with the perfect gift to give your dad...except the gift you are already giving him of spending his birthday with him. I am sure there is no gift money could buy that would be better than you being with your dad to help him celebrate. I will look forward to hearing how everything went, when you return. Still doing dances of happiness that you have decided to go, and have made all the necessary arrangements! Hugs- Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 (unknown) just wanted to thank all for the kind wishes and the emotional support. this has been one of the most fascinating experiences of my life, doing the work in tandem with this funeral and all the baggage that has come with it. the work has done wonders for my relationship with my step-son. we always butted heads before because i was always judging him. now i can just accept him. he spoke at the funeral, this wild kid with the mohawk, the torn leather jacket, the attitude, the burned-out druggie, and i totally loved it. i no longer attach to a story that he should be different. [FB] How very cool. Thank you for that. he just seems great to me as he is. it has forged a much better understanding between us and i am so glad i have had the work, because it has enabled me to truly be here for these kids in a way i never was before. i'm not needing to change them for me. lol... what a miracle [FB] Just beautiful Tabrina. I'm moved to tears over here, like your acceptance was directed right at me. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling more positive about things this morning but it was hard shaking these depressing thoughts off last night.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Deb Welcome to the group. I wanted to let you know we (the caregivers, and who ever is able to attend) are having a first ever LBD Caregivers Gathering scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - August 15, 16, and 17. It will be held in La Crosse, WI. It appears that wouldn't be too far for you to travel, since you are in Michigan and I am sure you would benefit meeting others traveling the same journey. We have a block of rooms at the Super 8 Motel in La Crosse. If you are interested in making a reservation, the phone number there is 1-. Please remember to mention the LBD Caregivers when making your reservation. I can give you more details if you are interested in attending the gathering. This is the first ever planned gathering, so the sky is the limit. I have been fortunate to have met with 3 other caregivers, and have talked on the phone with another 9 or so, reaching over to our international members in Australia, Scotland, England, and New Zealand. Hearing of others experiences confirms that we are not alone...it is a comforting feeling, plus putting a voice and/or face to a name is rewarding. Hoping you continue to post here, and know that I will add you to my prayers.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Dear Josie I know EXACTLY what you are going through and my heart goes out to you and the family. My dad could not stand because he couldn't bear his own weight (and he was skeletal!) but he had the grasp of the Hulk and strength in his arms to bend iron bars! He too was 'insane' with fear, anger and helplessness. It was heartbreaking - utterly devastating to watch. Whatever happens - no matter what he says or does remember it isn't him but 'the beast' masquerading! You are in my prayers I thank God you have the hospice. Unfortunately my dad was refused by our local hospice because he was too violent and abusive and they didn't have the one-to-one staff to accommodate him. I was very angry about that - in fact I still am! Like everything else in life - you get good and you get not so good. I guess I was bitterly disappointed because I knew my dad would die in hospital without the additional 'comforts' hospice care can offer. Take care of yourself Sally xx (unknown) Dear , Kath, Courage, Susie and all: My Mom, my daughters and I are home! My dad became agitated around 9 PM, his usual thing, and his heart started pumping, his body was warm again and you could see he had good circulation to his extremities. He had his usual bout of dementia. He is still very strong, he grabbed and pulled my sister by the arm and dropped her --thank goodness-- in a chair. My daugter was calling him " the come back king " . He is still very ill, but he may last another day or more. Unfortunatelly, when he is lucid he is very upset. He cannot talk at all and gets very emotional over anything. My sister and brother in law are back in town and will take care of most of the paperwork. The hospice services take care of all the arrangements and have support for the surviving relatives. We finally talked my mom into coming home this evening. The nurse was very reassuring. She took our phone #'s and promised to call if there was any change. She was so worried about my mom. Thank you for all your messages of support and your prayers. We are all very grateful.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Josie, i just wanted to pass along that we're now at the same stage as you, since last night granda has been having apnea every minute or so lasting about 30 seconds or more, he was put on morphine yesterday and they were using diazipam(sp?) as a backup, the doctor was called at tea-time today and has prescribed another type of morphine to go with the others. We've been told that this is it now and that the combined meds will further supress his breathing so it's just a case of sitting with him, sponging him down and holding his hand and talking to him. I'll keep everyone informed of what's happening and i pray he passes peacefully. .xx (unknown) Dear , Kath, Courage, Susie and all: My Mom, my daughters and I are home!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Josie, i know how you feel, for a fortnight there my granda was having severe hallucinations inspite of the quetiapine(seroquel). He would thrash about, cry, moan, they would sedate him but the sedation wouldn't even touch him, it was a complete waste of time. He would eventually tire himself out and drift off into a restless sleep only to wake up again and for it all to start over again. Don't know how today is going to pan out as granda hasn't been able to be roused to even get morphine, he hasn't ate or drank in days and as you know there is no time limit for dying, so we'll just take it as it comes. Any news at all and i'll let you know. .xx (unknown) > > > Dear , Kath, Courage, Susie and all: > > My Mom, my daughters and I are home!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Josie & , The two of you have been in my thoughts so much lately although I have failed to say so. It is a blessing that you both have found so much comfort in each other. I have heard so many stories of miraculous comebacks by our LOs with LBD. It is so cunning, leaving such heartbreak in the wake. My prayers are for a peaceful passage for both your families. Josie, I am so glad your dad is no longer angry. My mom has the same horrific hallucinations and has just recently become violent. If your dad seems like a child, comfort him, rock him, sing him a lullaby. I believe we come full circle in life, leaving with purity and innocence. The time is approaching for the unbirth, just another part of the cycle of life. My only thoughts are to give my mother the security she gave me as an infant, love without limits. I always wonder how many I will see come and go in this group, as I wait for the inevitable. I cried a few tears recently, wanting my mommy back, but I know now, I will never know her that way again. So I will be the angel on her shoulder until she moves beyond my reality, and give her the love I know she gave me when I was helpless and vulnerable. Today I am holding you in my heart up to the heavens, asking the Great Spirit to surround you with the love of the universe and the beauty of the earth. It is the closest we will get to the joy our LOs will receive when they are released from this earthly nightmare. May the skies show you the light of the future and the winds warm you with their gentle caress. Much Love & Blessing to you both, Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I've met each of them only once, and my visit with Dr. R was just a consulation; no tests, treatments or prescriptions. The reason that I say that Dr. R may not be working out for me is that I can't get anyone to return my phone calls so I can get started with tests, treatments, etc. I understand this is unusual, but I don't know what to do. That's the problem with the long distance - I can't just drop in a make a nuisance of myself. Hi, Do you prefer Dr.Ozan over Dr. R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 No, I would say no to pain. What I've heard of PMG is possible seizures, respitory issues, mental handicapped, feeding issues. Your son might have development delays. He should be seen by a developmental pediatrian. Does anyone have the complete list of possible symptoms? Dr. Dobyns in the specialist in PMG. He is at the U of Chicago. If you would like his address, I'm sure someone here can let you know. Take care, Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 You are going to have to learn how to deal with these type of people for the rest of your life. There will always be some who will be nice and helpful and then there will always be the others. Speak up.............educate them, tell them he has a disability. The lady who sold us our home told me my son taught her a lesson. She saw him throw some major tantrums. Now when she goes to restraints and stores and sees older children throwing tantrums, she does not judge.........she thinks about my son and wonders if this child has a disability. This is progress...............one person at a time. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i know exactly what you are going through. I went xmas shopping and i had to put my coat around him for him to stay put. and yes people are real mean i cant stand it..it gets real fustrating at times little_pain_intheass wrote: My son Axel is unable to set up yet. So when we go to the mall he not able to sit in the shopping cart. We have to support him with stuff. People just look and point at him. That make me so mad why do people have to be so mean. He is only a baby . If people would just take the time to ask what is wrong with him. Instead of looking and laughing. Do any of you have the same problem as i do.
