I think this might be a self portrait as this is was how I looked most of the time. I'll catch up shortly and give updates.

Sometimes it's daily, sometimes it's not. Sometimes I get busy digging through old shots and decided to process something for that day.
I do enjoy being part of this community and it has certainly helped me over some of life's hurdles.

Please, please, read and learn from all the chaos.

My mom had her first physical therapy session today and has a long way to go.

I have going back and forth from the Nursing home to my mom's home. My mom doesn't have any concept of time and wants me there all the time. I try but I can't seem to do more than eight to ten hours a day.

I have gathered up every piece of paper I can manage and then take it with me to go through my moms accounts etc.

My mom was living with a man that I did not trust from the very beginning and now I have proof of why...My mom has no money left for me to even pay her bills. He has purchased gas for her car that he drove even when my mom wasn't driving. He makes daily purchase and cash with drawls and then deposits it into a savings account of his. He has purchased porn magazines, videos, cigarettes, etc. Absolutely everything he bought with my moms money while leaving his alone.

My mom was lonely after my stepfather died and I'm sure she just wanted some company. I have seen this happen to so many people.

My mom didn't have a ton of money but she had enough to pay her bills. Now everything is behind, NSF charges, I could go on and on. Folks this doesn't just happen on TV it's in real life to.

My mom was on a special diet because of her heart and even fed her fast food everyday. Not once in a while but everyday.

Now I have had to get a restraining order to keep him away from her and cancel all her credit cards etc.

I know that God will turn this around for good and maybe just the fact that I'm sharing this with all of you is the good that is coming from something so ugly.

I am exhausted mentally and physically. I never imagined that I would keep up with my daily photos and be sharing this sort of thing with all of you but some how it helps.
Somehow it's therapeutic.

Will it change anything? I don't know but if it changes or helps any of you out there I am grateful.

Your prayers and kind comments have been a wonderful comfort to me and I thank God for all of you.

Have a peace filled day. Gail

Today is the first day for a new beginning for my mom. It's gonna be uphill from here.

TheCuriousCamel > Scaling high walls

This little guys was on the front of my Aunt's house and reminding me of the hurdles I have overcome.

My mom in a facility now. She is peaceful but they don't really care for her as much as I had was told they would. I have to get her strong and take her back home. Once your older and have problems it seems no body cares.

TheCuriousCamel > Reflections

Seems I have been doing allot of reflecting lately. I apologize for being sporadic in my commenting. I'll catch up soon.

TheCuriousCamel > Anhinga

I certainly have learned to spread my wings, stick my neck out and sometimes make a lot of noise.

Status, same.

TheCuriousCamel > Sometimes I feel like the water keeps rising around me. I have so many decisions to make and everything is happening so fast.

I am thankful that I can be with my mom and take care of all of this for her.

I always tell her what's going on and ask her what she wants to do. She says she wants to go home or go home with me.

I asked if she could fly but she's not strong enough yet. To fly her on an air ambulance would be 15 thousand dollars.

Prayerfully within the next month I'll be able to get her to Ohio with her family.

Thanks so much for all you prayers, good wishes and support. It means allot and I read everyone of them to my mom.

I still went out and got her a cake and gifts and celebrated her birthday. She was happy but sad to.

We had a good day yesterday. She was more alert and is eating a little better. She asked me if I would bring her cheeseburger today. So that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

All of you have a safe and blessed holiday. Kiss the ones you love and always show them how much you love them.

The Long ride Home.

How do you tell someone you love they can't go home again? They can't just get in their car and take ride, they can't cook a good meal, go shopping or watch the sunset at their favorite beach? How do you tell someone you love they can't have their puppy with them? They can't travel or eat the things they enjoy but aren't good for them? How do to you tell someone you love that their life will never be the same? They can't just call you because they forget your number or how to dial the phone? I had to.

July 2, my mom will be 69 years young.

It's didn't work...They don't know what's causing all her problems.

Almost a year ago my mom went into the hospital for a jump start on her heart as it was out of rhythm. She went for this procedure a total of 4 times. Each time the doctor saying it will work this time. The last time they also wanted to do an obliteration, a burning off of the arteries that we not working. (If I am understanding it correctly.) They also said a pacemaker would help jump start her if her heart failed. When they went inside her chest to the heart the doctor stated that the artery he needed was not where it should be and he had to move her heart around to find it. My mom was under anesthesia three times longer than she should have been. She has never been the same.

I kept telling her doctors that my mom was not herself. They kept assuring me it would take time. It didn't. Everyone downplayed my moms condition.

It finally got to the point that my mom could not walk, feed herself, bath etc. Home health nurse, bless his heart, on his second visit rushed my mom to the hospital as she was not responding to him.

The neurologist figured out from her symptoms that she had water on the brain but didn't know what was causing it. They felt that by doing the lumbar puncture and relieving some of the spinal fluid off that she would regain her strength and slowly her memory.

It didn't work.

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes.

My heart is breaking, that's my mom...

Black Vulture.

Some people can be vultures to. Yes. that's exactly what I am dealing with now. Vultures. People that try to pick your bones while your still her on earth.

Morning catch.

Thanks for all your prayers, they seem to be working because my mom seemed a little better yesterday. She smiled allot although I think she's very scared.

I got up early yesterday before visiting hours so I could shoot a little. It is certainly a good release. Or after hours I see if anything is out and about.

The nurses have been so super to her. When I can't visit with her because of visiting hours I'll call and talk to the nurses to check on her. They are so good about going and telling her everything. She is in a sort of icu. They call it a step down.

ps. I told her how everyone is praying for her and she had tears in her eyes.

They are having a hard time with her bp right now so keep your fingers crossed.

Burrowing owl in burrow.
On the way home from the hospital we drove by the owls. It was getting dark but walked over and noticed this little guy peeking out.

Off to the hopital, have a good day.

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments and prayers for mom.

I think this might be a self portrait as this is was how I looked most of the time.

I'll catch up shortly and give updates.
