Three dozen #duck eggs clean and ready for the carton! Expecting #chickens to kick in soon. Young girls are a week or two away from starting. Older girls won’t be far behind, just not as frequent. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr.

MIL will be going to the Danville nursing home sometime tomorrow. That’s close to 45 mins from us. I hate it, but we are not trained in the care of someone with memory loss. #family #Alzheimers #nostr #grownostr.

Swung by the farmers market to pickup some pine swags and spotted this “outdoor eating area.” Our local market is a fru-fru market that all the progressives love. Oddly, I am almost always the only one shopping with reusable shopping bags. 🤔 #Christmas #igloo #market #wv #usa #nostr #grownostr

Snow driving all morning. #weather #winter #wv #usa #nostr #grownostr

Quick update on MIL. She is stable but still in hospital. Once the medical team got her home meds back on track she calmed down. She still has more past tense conversations than present. I don’t know the next step. BIL is “supposed to be” working on it. Thank you all VERY MUCH for your comments, emoji’s, and zaps. I don’t care what they say, you’re good people. 😁 #family #Alzheimers #nostr #grownostr

I'm getting my hair cut for the first time since last year, I think. Amber has been cutting it more than 20 years. After that getting my allergy shots, then might swing by the Capitol Market to see if they have pine swags for the front fence. Then I'm leading Bible Study at City Of Hope Fellowship . I'll be discussing Mary the mother of Jesus.

MIL had a better day yesterday. She seemed to know the guys but was having conversations from over 25 years ago. Sitter still has to be with her all the time. She was less aggressive. This week should determine what happens next. Dad has appointments today and long term guest returns. ‘Tis the season. #family #nostr #grownostr #Alzheimers

Good morning all y’all! It is cold out this morning! Right now it’s 23°F/-5.6°C on the Holstein House front porch, in my part of Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA! Mundane stuff this morning. Then making way for Christmas decorations. What’s on your todo for this weekend? #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #Christmas #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

MIL had a bad afternoon. She refused her meds, tried to pull the IV out, and ended up with an order that someone must be in the room with her all the time. They still plan to move her to a regular room. Mr. Holstein said she did know him but would go from talking sensibly to not making sense at all. I think she is probably worse than the BIL admitted when he called a couple weeks ago. I've read 36 Hour Day, and some other similar things on dementia and Alzheimer's. I needed to understand what was going on with my mom. I hate to think she'll be in a facility, but there is no workaround I don't think. Hopefully the BIL will speak with social services and find a solution. #family #Alzheimers #dementia #nostr #grownostr #lifestages
