Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Power out went out at 2:15 still raining. No idea how much, wife called yesterday afternoon said I had bought house we were in since 2006 without her knowledge forged her name was divorce me, really agitated. All clothes packed when I got home then wanted to go out to eat and said I ordered stuff she did not want to eat. Just another day

Prayers for all silent or spoken out Country

Just trying to show a day in the life of someone with dementia, I have no one else to vent to

Mate, adding a "Good Post" is not adequate for showing support for you and the situation you (and your wife) are going through.

'Vent' away.

Buppies, here is a good article from Cleveland Clinic that may help you understand what is going on. My mother had 4 sisters. They all had the same problems. No use arguing with them. Just show all the care you can give them.

Hallucinations: Definition, Causes, Treatment & Types

A hallucination is a false perception of objects or events involving your senses: sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. They have several possible causes.

70 going to 86, some rain already and more later likely.

Prayers, Buppies. I have to ditto Ron, that my MIL gets much worse when having a UTI...so easy to get dehydrated and then UTI flare up.

Prayers for healing for your daughter, Rip. I never knew that type procedure existed. She's quite brave.

Scott, good to hear your story.

Yesterday was pole saw, string trimmer, and fighting hornets day. Found another yellow jacket ground nest...right next to our garbage/recycle cans. So many this year vs. previous years. Ended up needing to use the tractor to move the pole saw production. I'm very pleased with this Fiskars model...super sharp and strong.

Thanks Ron will read more in depth when I get back home tonight

Good Evening riptides,
Well seeing those x-rays opened up a floodgate of memories for me ! Something I usually dont talk about because of everything I went through when I was younger !

In 1966 getting ready to go into high school I was diagnosed with scoliosis ! To this day some of those memories haunt me. I went through an extensive surgical procedure at the time, hours of surgery where my back was opened up and then had a Harrington Rod installed onto my spine. I so distinctly remember the intense pain for many days. Your daughter and your family have gone through so much at this point, that only others that have endured the same can truly relate!

I was determined that I was going to make it through this nightmare and this was not going to be a defining moment in my life that I was not going to recover fully from ! There were many people that told me that I was not going to be able to this or that, and I was determined to prove them dead wrong ! Well as I am closing in on 72 I can tell you that I led a full and productive life ! My wife Kathleen and I raised two boys, put them through college, they are now both married and we now have 4 beautiful grand children !

Just a little about me, I have always been an outdoor person, and while I served an apprenticeship and ultimately became a Master Modelmaker, and made a very good living from it, my heart was always outside ! To this day, I love being out on the back side of my barn splitting wood on a nice fall day ! To this day I still love physical work, and even though I have back pain, I deal with it the best I can. I refuse to sit inside and look out the window !

Looking at those x-rays, makes me wish that I had the medical know how of today back in 1966 !

I do have some misgivings, in that I could not go into the Navy as my father before me had,he served in WW2, and I of course wanted to be like my Pop ! That was of course the Vietnam Era, and Im guessing my mother was relieved when I was rejected at the Induction Center.

I wish your daughter my prayers and encouragement, and that she will persevere , and have a full and productive life !

Have a good evening !

You have persevered and proven the inner self is much more than the physical makeup of the body. Your challenges are unknown to but a few. Glad and good for you that you have over come them.

Both my wife and daughter now have undergone "revisions". Luck would have it that only my daughter had the rods removed and reinserted. The wife just was fused as a teenager and so rods, cages and anchor bolts were inserted the last go round. Then the wife had a tumor removed just recently, which she is recovering from. These last five years are something to put deeply away.

I am sure both are on trek for a fulfilling life. The wonders of modern medicine are truly a gift. Those that practice these procedures and indeed invent new ways to mitigate the aftereffects of this condition are miracle workers. We are blessed to have come across them, and indeed like you, trailblazers for success.

Thanks for sharing. I wish you continued health and happiness!

70 outside this AM.

Prayers for you Buppies. I feel for you dealing with what you are going through.

Nothing on the agenda today. I need to start moving my tools out of the Milk House bathroom area. The backend before the renovation was my tool shed. Wife is adamant about finishing it before winter.

Need to do a lot of yard work too. Trees need trimming, weeds need whacking. May try the burner in the round pen, cannot use it elsewhere being so dry. Burn pile needs to happen too. With it popping into the 90's everyday, things dry up pretty fast. Showers and storms are possible for today.

It's Friday. Hope all have a great day and good start to the weekend. Be safe in your endeavors and tasks.
