Gas and grass
 

Thanks SD. I feel like the gas tank is running on fumes, and I need to get to the nearest station....and at these prices.

I surprised Peggie on Monday. I was off for the Holiday. We went to get her blood drawn, lab tests done (prior to the Pulmonolgist appt Friday) . We got back in the car, and I usually take her to breakfast then home. I took her herehttp://places2explore.files.wordpres...pg?w=450&h=291

We sat on a bench right here and looked out over Laguna Beach We sat on overlooking the rolling Pacific Ocean for hours. She was absolutely a new person, revived in the sunshine, and perked up like a wilted plant that just got a big drink. She was at peace and smiling.

She is like a new person. We have been estranged for many years, and when she called me in Sept. and said she needed to talk to me, it has been a healing experience although a health crisis ever since. I dash from work, swoop in to her house, disconnect her from an electric oxygen air concentrator, hook her up to those big silver and green Oxygen tanks, get her in the car, for trips to the hospital, the doctors, a brief stop to eat when I take her home.

We went through 4 big oxygen tanks on Monday stopped and elevated her feet as needed due to the swelling. We had breakfast in Laguna and lunch along the Pacific Coast before heading home. Lung disease, Lack of oxygen due to a lifetime of smoking has taken this beautiful woman I loved and lived with for over over 20 years and shrunk her from 145 pounds to barely 110, unable to breathe without a nasal cannula and on 4 liters of oxygen 24 hours a day, taking 100 mg, of a pee pill to rid the water from her swollen legs and ankles. Bathroom stops with a rolling O2 tank is a difficult adventure when she insists on carrying her purse , etc. etc, so she can do the power puff thing girls do.

Well, we had an absolutely beautiful day at the beach, and I took some great pictures of her smiling for the first time in months.

So, I get a call from her at work yesterday afternoon.

"Guess what ? " she said and ...I held my breath.

I was eating ice and broke my front tooth off and I think I swallowed it."

Life is an adventure, and I need to shower, get gas and go to work. I made her a dental appointment for tomorrow... ahh, I really need to fill up.

and ..My grass needs mowing, maybe I need a goat. I need to keep fighting to her her a a portable battery operated O2 unit.
Okay, I am outta here, so I want to say thanks to all of you that keep the candles lit, the thoughts and prayers coming and the sweetness we can all share with one another.

Love , Tommi:bunchflowers:

Healing and peace to move on
 

Thanks for the info StrongButch. Today is a new day, and we'll see what adventures are in store. I made her vegetable soup, and am taking that to her for lunch. Green tea is her fav. I'll add some of those thing to my grocery list.

My PeachesBoy passed away today
 

I came home from work tonight and found my Peaches beside the bed. Looked like he was just sleeping on his side. He had been slowing down in his 18th year. He hadn't been sick. He was my 5:30 AM alarm clock even this morning. He tapped my cheek and meowed me awake every day.

As always, after his breakfast this morning he went back to his round kitty bed beside my pillow. I got ready for work, I petted him, kissed his little furry head goodbye and left for work. I guess I am comforted that he did not have a long illness, I didn't see him suffer, but damn...just damn it.

Tigger has been in my arms and at my side, and meowing all night. She misses her brother, and so do I. :praying::candle::candle::candle:

Blessings with you as you go on to explore what comes after this life sweet Peaches Boy. I know everywhere you go you will find one treat after another, because a loving G-d could never resist your extended paw request for just one more....

Thank's for that memory sherrie. You saw how I could not resist that waving paw.

Peaches would come into the kitchen, or sit at my feet, or on the bed and raise his left paw.
"Do you want a treat?" . Peaches would raise his paw again, and get his treat.

"How many do you want?" His orange paw waving up and down, he had me at the first one. His favorite, Friskie's Party Mix in the kitchen and the living room, just to be sure I wouldn't miss the wave.

Tigger misses him big time. She gets me up now, like he used to, but an hour earlier :)
