    That would be so funny. To me anyway. I have found that most people in the South do not have a sense of humor or a sense of the ridiculous. When I find someone that does, they are usually a transplant or have lives elsewhere for a while.

    One pet peeve. She keeps mum about a lot of stuff and doesn't want any help. She did want me to keep her cats during this move, but I couldn't do it. Mainly because I have no place to put them. I was her second choice because she couldn't find her mom. But the cats made it to her mother's and that's good.

    So, my friend found another place that was nicer with a nicer landlord. He didn't like cats for starters. He would also give her husband something else to do in addition to flooring and then complain when the flooring work wasn't done. She said the landlord was creepy, so I'm glad she moved or tried to.

    The story isn't over. The electricity at the new place wasn't turned on yet, so they were moving stuff at night with a flashlight. Some neighbors saw this and called the police. Her hubbies two friends were there, looking suspicious (?), so the cops searched them. The hubbie does black market prescription pain killers and refuses to quit. He had some on him. He is in jail.

    I think she's had enough. He doesn't have the money to bail out and she won't do it. So she's at her mom's. Hopefully they'll keep him in jail until he's through withdrawal. She told him that he quits or she is gone.

    Personally, I would have done that well before we were married, but that's me.

    Just an update.

    Sigh.

    That's a very good sign that she won't bail her husband out! This is an opportunity for her and she took it.

    Ellie, still sending good wishes and prayers for a good outcome with the new tests and all. Hugs!

    Scooter's Mom - what a sudden and sad and huge loss for you. Prayers and hugs!

    I am requesting good thoughts and prayers for my mom.

    She is holding her own. The waiting is very stressful on her and she isn't well to begin with. The "waiting" is to see a BP specialist on May 5th who will hopefully resolve her low BP issues. She has drops in BP when she stands up, possibly as a result of her condition and definitely as a result of the Sinemet, the Parkinson's med she is on.

    So...get the BP handled, adjust the Sinemet, re-adjust the BP med (probably), and start her on the month-long trial for a CPAP machine. (She stops breathing about 41 times per hour, according to her sleep test. And she's SKINNY!).

    I really hope that putting all these things together will help her feel better. She can't be cured - be being more comfortable is the goal here.

    Thank you.

    Prayers for your Mom, Candace - and for you too.

    I just "don't get" the Canadian healthcare system. I can't believe that they make one wait so long for an appointment for a serious issue - this could be life-threatening. Another Canadian friend has told me so many of what I view as "horror stories", regarding what gets paid for, how long you have to wait, what your doctor is allowed to treat, and on and on. At least here in the States, if your doctor orders a test or procedure or consultation, it isn't (IN MOST INSTANCES), ever questioned, and it is preformed in a matter of days - or immediately if that's what the doctor requests. So many folks here complain about the healthcare system - they don't know how lucky they are.
