My wife, the kids, and I were staying with her at her place and she kept vomiting and sufffering from nausea, so we agreed that the dehydration and withdrawal symptoms at her age might be enough to have her admitted to the emergency room. <BR/><BR/>Tomorrow she is being discharged, so I have to take off from work again to pick her up. Then I have to figure out what is the best level of care for her.Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-71025584825659302542008-07-21T13:11:00.000-04:002008-07-21T13:11:00.000-04:00Tommy, I too am sorry to hear that your mom isn't ...Tommy, I too am sorry to hear that your mom isn't doing very well. I hope she gets a bed soon and is cared for properly. <BR/><BR/>When I was in the hospital last summer with that whole ordeal I was approached by so many god botherers who said they were praying for me and the more they told me that, the worse crap that happened. Finally I told them "please, no more...you're killing me!" Of course I was being sarcastic, but yes...it IS very rude, especially when people know we are atheists already. Those who don't know us are still unintentionally rude, but intentionally rude is inexcusable. <BR/><BR/>My husband would also have fun with the spritzer water bottle...he tells everyone that he is god and would have a field day with that with the guys he works with. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, you and your family hang in there.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-39733033438719213202008-07-21T12:27:00.000-04:002008-07-21T12:27:00.000-04:00Thanks all.Tina, my mom is sort of wishy-washy whe...Thanks all.<BR/><BR/>Tina, my mom is sort of wishy-washy when it comes to religion. On an intellectual level, she knows its a bunch of nonsense, but she does not reject it out of hand. She is not formally religious though, and never reads a Bible, nor does she even own one to my knowledge. She does have some inspirational sayings on refrigerator magnets that make god references.<BR/><BR/>I tried to make a little bit of fun at times, because the neighbor gave my mom the holy water spritzer. So I would go in my mom's room a couple of times with the spritzer and say "Let me bless you."Tommykeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751182125861177379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-36928146315908324302008-07-20T15:53:00.000-04:002008-07-20T15:53:00.000-04:00I too send well wishes for your mom, what a hard t...I too send well wishes for your mom, what a hard thing to have to deal with. <BR/><BR/>Sounds kind of like the perfume spritzers at Dillards... :)Poodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058132060541145052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-89175426469100228212008-07-19T23:07:00.000-04:002008-07-19T23:07:00.000-04:00I'm sorry to hear your mom isn't doing so well.......I'm sorry to hear your mom isn't doing so well....hope she's feeling better soon.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164619076936332568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-46393894989785418952008-07-19T09:50:00.000-04:002008-07-19T09:50:00.000-04:00Is your mom religious?

Apparently she knew your mom wouldn't mind being spritzed?? But to ASSUME that you would, is downright rude as hell. Sorry, it just kind of upsets me that people assume another is religious. What if you had converted to another religion that would be offended at getting sprayed with this so-called holy water??<BR/>I hope your mom gets the help she needs. My mom is elderly also and suffers from depression, but refuses to take meds.tina FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037896362034609151noreply@blogger.com
