I've always thought it would be fun to hop into the Jeep (with a driver, of course...) and explore the world (don't know how I'd get across the ocean...my Jeep don't float!) and meet all my bloggy friends. <br /><br />...and you met one! =)Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/05704037582961814202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-57978935750905063422011-06-25T11:10:43.787-05:002011-06-25T11:10:43.787-05:00Such a lovely post dear Mayden, I am so pleased th...Such a lovely post dear Mayden, I am so pleased that you two met in person and you do get to know someone from their thoughts and what they write. I love the photo by the way, you two are setting a new trend with these layed back 'feet' photos. We are all blessed to have Foamy in our lives, she is a sweetheart ... I have had the pleasure and honour of communicating with Foamy via e-mail and she is a genuine, beautiful, caring person and someone who has always been there for me when I needed a friend and one of the first to comment at my blog posts.<br />xoxoxo ♡diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171808338793139579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-85968311322009528972011-06-25T10:01:43.742-05:002011-06-25T10:01:43.742-05:00Oh dear!
Reading backwards--yore mama!! Oh chile...Oh dear! <br /><br />Reading backwards--yore mama!! Oh chile' so sorry fer the fright ya had. What a blessin' thangs is returned to normal recovery mode.<br /><br />My own Mama died in March. she too had hallucinations an' much confusion from C02 narcosis. Her heart were jes' too weka to beat strong, so the breathin' became shallower an the C02 built up--we used a bi-pap machine at night an' Mama's mornin' hours could be clear headed, but eventually the C02 prevailed and she slipped away.<br /><br />I have vivid memories of how hard she worked to keep a focus--this woman with a very keen mind and no hint of senility whatsoever--such that doctors often spent extra time wif' her cause she was also a retired psychologist. We even discussed her "visions" an' she would say "I know they are not real, but they seem very real" They also frightened her (buildings fallin' on each other)<br /><br />We wuz fortunate that the staff knew her as alert and inteliigent, so when the weird visions began they realized her lung capacity wuz failin' her an' checked the blood levels--but Mayden, yore point needs to shouted from the rooftops--NEVER leave a loved one unattended in a hosptial more'n a few hours--when thangs go wrong they have no advocate but someone that KNOWS what's normal fer them.<br /><br />Minus such care, well meanin' medical personnel make dreadful mistakes. Particularly with the elderly --nearly everyone assumes the elderly are all an inch from senility --and they are NOT. But when personnle make that assumption, they miss something as simple to diagnose as C02 poisoning. <br /><br />Hope yore Mama is on the mend--please give her a hug from Aunty. Hug her lots. Wish I could still hug my Mama.Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21103988.post-77556958006479560902011-06-25T09:46:40.838-05:002011-06-25T09:46:40.838-05:00Smile....Mayden, how dear!!

Wunnerful that you two managed to meet in the real--but yore hearts already knowed each other. <br /><br />I still have most warm an' fond memories of meetin' Mayden in the flesh--wif' Helen, an' K9 an' Boggs--the one male blogger brave enough to risk a blog summit wif' wimmen. When wuz that? seems at least 5 years ago but mebbe less? <br /><br />Heaven knows whar' an' how to insert the right soul at the times of need--so pleased you an' Foamy have been there fer each other.

It's been a wonderful experience to meet and read these people I would have likely never crossed paths with- and now count them in my heart as friends. What a precious gift my blog friends have become to me.
