Sorry to hear about your mom's perception problems. Are they related to medication? Is she staying as active as possible?
Rock me Amadeo...heh.
Hee hee. Amby always picks up my oooold pop culture references.

They could be, or it could be the cancer. My wife was certain my mom forewent the morphine so she could be awake during our visit.
Unfortunately, my mom is bedridden, so she can't really stay active. Every now and then, they move her to a chair, but she's fallen out a couple of times. My aunt visits her twice a day every day, which has been extremely helpful, in my opinion.

I was thinking mentally active, especially. Yeah, I think the aunt's visits have got to be a big help.
It's funny, but I'm just remembering that my mom started to forgo her puzzles, books, audio books, and movies a week or two before she died. I should have realized that was a sign at the time.
Also, Mairkurion, I hope you get better soon.
Thanks. And remember, kids, always finish your anti-biotics.

Monday morning! And isn't it just a beautiful day? The birds are singing, the sun is shining. And is that a rainbow I see? Yessiree, I sure am looking forward to one swell week.AZ, you're the cheeriest zombie I've ever met. Undeath must really agree with you.
I thought, for sure, that the first comment responding to my post would be something along the lines of "Who are you, and what have you done with the real Aberzombie?"

Yeah, my mom gave up on those pretty early on. :(
She watches TV, mostly, and the staff don't really interact much with the residents, so the only mentally stimulating activity she has is visiting with my aunt.

Monday morning! And isn't it just a beautiful day? The birds are singing, the sun is shining. And is that a rainbow I see? Yessiree, I sure am looking forward to one swell week.I believe you have invoked a terrible doom!
Actually, the terrible doom was already on its way to see me. It had just gotten through airport security, and was waiting to board. First Class all the way to my work cubicle. So, in reality, I was trying to fool myself into thinking this week would be something other than a maynonnaise-coated nightmare from the deepest pits of the Abyss.

I thought there might have been a smidgen of sarcasm in your post. :)
Still here, kinda feel like just lurking though.

I didn't want to discourage the new "you."

Just watch out for the lurker trapper!

Propulsion Exectuive Steering Committee. Basically, a bunch of nutsacks who like to yell at us for not doing things they never funded us to do.DOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!My doom is spelled PESC!Yay, military acronyms! Right?
Um, what does that stand for?
In my experience, executive == nutsack. :)
its monday. nuff said.
Back home again. Need to catch up, but at least that's done on this thread. Maybe some people are relieved to get caught up on content during my absence? Hm.Welcome back.
I've decided that the more I subscribe, the more I fall behind. I wonder if I need organize my reading list better by separating the wheat from the chaff.
By the way, I was reminded why apartment living isn't all that great. The upstairs neighbors decided to, um, get jiggy around 3:30 this morning. Hooray.
That's when you and your beloved iPad can plot your jiggy revenge.
Tired. Came back from Cincy just before 11pm EST and got a call around 1'ish in the morning that her sister-in-law (married to her oldest brother) had her water break. Baby wasn't due to be expected until July 7th via C-section. It's the first nephew (out of six previous nieces). Arrived kicking & screaming @ 2:29 am EST. 6 lbs, 13 oz & 20" long.

Tell me about it. Last week I received a novella I'd been waiting for, then the GMG and Heart of the Jungle, then the new PF AP and PF Companion - all within a day or so of each other.
And that's not even counting the 15 or so books I haven't gotten around to reading.
AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

Cool! Hope the mother and child are doing well!

Mindy's mom just called me to give me updates. The thing was that I had just backed up a lot of stuff off her camera to DVD-data and she hadn't had the chance to delete the excess photos off her data card. We weren't prepared for this, so I have to talk her through it later today as to how to get the new pics off and get rid of the old ones and put it up through Facebook. All the pictures she has online on her page have been previously put up by me when I was visiting. UGH! Her mom's more of a luddite w/o the technical savvy. Should be fun. :P
Congratuations on your new Uncle-hood, Urizen!
Actually, it's her new 'aunt' hood. I can't take that title. I haven't put a ring on it. :p

The sad thing is ... I wasn't even talking about my dead tree pile building up. I'm referring to all my news and fluff-filler feeds online. :p

Ahhhhhhhh!!! Ok, you are forgiven.

I probably have like 300+ hardcovers to catch up on. I'm avoiding HPB until at least Thursday. :P

yup, I know the feeling. The bad news is when I was living with the creeper I would wake up about the same time to *thump* *thumping* and on the several times I woke up the longest session I timed was 5 minutes. ahh the memories. now I live on the top floor. *note to self find girlfriend to wake up downstairs neighbors*

Been there. Done that. Have the credit cards and bank account to prove it. No hurry to repeat it. ;-)

Yeah, mine was only about a 2 minute interruption to sleep. :)
I think the iPad and I can do better than that. Now I need to find an app.

DUDE!! I love it when that happens, the wife and I get a good, warm laugh out of it.
The woman who lives above us is a breast cancer survivor who went through her convalencense with my late mother in law, who was suffering from lung cancer. Unfortunately, my mother in law did not make it, but my wife always makes time to talk to our neighbor when she gets the chance. She has two children, both boys, and she and her husband are trying desperately(and loudly!) for a girl.
Incidentally I went upstairs once for some minor errand and actually had a chance to meet her. She does not, repeat NOT, look like a cancer survivor at all. Nor does she look anywhere remotely near her age. My wife has made it a point to make sure I have few reasons to go poking about upstairs. ;-)
My wife would be the same way. :)
Also, Freehold, sorry to hear about your mother in law.
She lived for a while with her small cell cancer, and was in comparitively good shape until right before the end. I miss her, but this is nothing compared to my wife's feelings of loss, naturally.

I'm here. "307 new posts." I'm going to be pretty busy today, so I'm most likely not going to try and catch up.
Had an ... interesting ... time at the funeral on Saturday for my old roommate. I felt that the southern baptist pastor that did the ceremony was a bit of an @$$. It was nice to see most of the old gang again though.
Anyway hope that most of you are all doing well.
FDM -- Sorry about the loss. (I just happened to see that post.)
People need to stop dying.
Wow, over 1,000 posts. That will teach me take a weekend off for a game convention. I will try to get caught up today.
What con?

Sorry to hear that about the pastor. That's not something you want at a funeral.
