(Sorry for the long absence – I’ll write about it some day but it’s too fresh right now)
So, Mighty Mouse rides again! That sneaky little darling got one on me again:) She raised her arms for a hug and gave me her usual loving schmuck on the cheek. Explained that I had to go with Wayne but I’d be back soon. When I arrived a couple hours later, she looked very secretive and somewhat urgent. “Come here,” she orderd, no smile graced her face. “Come to my room – quickly!”
I kind of dreaded to do this in case she wanted to give me something which I wouldn’t have taken. Anyway, I offered to push her wheelchair and she she said,” Yes and quickly!”
Her door was locked and thought maybe someone had been looting her room. She pointed to the wire hung high above her door, “Push it in, quickly!”
She got a sly smile on her face and rolled up to the bed. “Put me to bed, please.” She’s light as a feather but due to rules and possible law suits, I said I’d get a nurse.
The nurses explained that they have to keep her out of the room as she transfers herself and may break a hip, etc.

I know what you mean by not being able to put some thoughts down in black and white. Some have to be sorted out in our mind and heart for a while….
Whether you’re here writing or not, my thoughts and prayers are with you both. Be safe and hang in there. You’re a lovely person and MM senses that, which is why she puts one over on you. HUGS
Hugs. I think of you often, especially when we don’t hear from you.
Hugs, Jean. Sending you warm thoughts.
Well, it does seem she got one up on you – she sounds like a real character.
Just what you need?

Mighty Mouse rides again.
As if you didn’t already have enough material for a book!
Sounds to me that it’s a tie – since you had enough presence of mind to call the nurse.
You might as well accept the fact that you are part of the staff there. A volunteer for sure but staff none the less. Mighty Mouse pegged you as a soft touch.
I am always wishing and hoping the best for you.
Mighty Mouse sounds like a real character, and she was probably one before Alzheimer’s.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers…
I’ve never commented on the blog of people I don’t know before, but you really are my hero and I want you to know that you offer strength to others that you are not even aware of. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear you’re dealing with the unbloggable stuff. Sending big hugs your way and keeping you and Wayne in my prayers.
Praying for a miracle — some day, some way, we will be privvy to their thought processes; that science will discover a cure.
Meanwhile, always … sending hugs.
Thank you all and welcome B – words lift each other up, don’t they?
