I hate being a woman sometimes.
I'd love to disappear so that I don't have to deal with all the emotions I'm going through alone. But time will heal.

I had always wondered about that. How do the communities with the sirens ensure that their deaf/hoh residents are made aware of them?

How's your refrigerator compressor? Surges are bad for those too.I had yet another modem jacked by a lightning strike. The surge protectors are useless, aren't they? Grrr.
My anger has subsidized somewhat today. Yesterday, I swore a "blue streak"! But still not 100% knowing "whoever" put those flowers on my dining room table. But we all believe it was one of my neighbors, who is very nice, but also very "nosey"....she has lots of flowers in her yard...but nevermind! I keep my front door locked, all times. But I was going in and out the patio doors, bringing things into the back of the house. No one was home but myself....
I became tied up with something in the back of the house....came back into the dining room to find the flowers sitting there. 1st thought was: the boys brought them to me and were "hiding" someplace. I called out...no one home but me! Front door still locked....then I became a little "scared and suspicious"....The boys came in about 10 minutes later, and I said, "did you bring me these flowers"?...."NO"....
I've yet to go over to ask her if she did, in fact....come into my home and put flowers on my table!...NEVER would I ever, walk into someone's home and do something like this!...She knows I'm Deaf...BUT!..if she in fact did this, then she's crossed the line!...Gonna have to "educate her"!...she should have left them by the door if there was no answer, or she did not see me anywhere!
As for now, all doors are locked! I'm still fuming over this.
Unsanitary and dangerous. You need to get her a 'sharps receptacle' like they use in the doctor's offices. When it is full, you seal it and then dispose of the interior box that holds the syringes into the trash. Much more sanitary and not as dangerous. You might want to check your local laws to see if it's even legal to dispose of syringes into the trash. Some cities require that you have a sharps receptacle and when it is full you place it in a sealed bag and take it to the hospital for proper disposal as it can be considered bio-hazardous waste.
Kristina, it doesn't matter what your MIL thinks. If she keeps falling at home, she needs more care than home provides. Consider getting a judge to make you her guardian. Another idea is to get some home health care for her supervision. You can't be her keeper 24/7. You need to take care of yourself, too. Is there a social worker at the hospital? Ask about getting a social worker. Hope that you can find some help soon!
Well - hubby called her doctor and he is placing her in the nursing home for rehab tomorrow (Monday).
I'm sorry she has to go into one but given your posts regarding your MIL, taking care of her sounds like a full time job. You must feel exhausted taking care of her at times.
It is exhausting, but for the most part, she has been able to take care of herself. It's just these last 2 weeks that have been hard for all of us. They think she may only be there for 3-4 weeks. We will see.
