Time is of the Essence
Time is the key to everything in life, ya just wonder at times IF time is the key to everything in life, if that makes any sense.  Oh hell, I'm not making any sense, just being silly tonight. (I need to have some silliness in my life with what I've been dealing with the past few days or should I say the past 8 months or longer than that!)

Re: Time is of the Essence
Ah I can worry about hours, days, months and years from now...but time still only moves minute by minute...
I'm sure that doesn't make much sense either tica!

Re: Time is of the Essence
Can't help it sometimes though, and I can worry about those ticking minutes.

Re: Time is of the Essence
Especially when your life is going through a metamorphosis, from making certain closures to finding a place to live, and moving on. I'm in the process of finding my own place here in PA by still staying temporarily close by to assist my parents and at the same time, having my own individuality with independence to sanity, to keeping a balance in my life, till I can have an inner comfort zone knowing they will be okay, which I foresee will work out.

Re: Time is of the Essence
I know hon, I love the stability I now have in my life, but shoot, there have been several times I've thrown whatever I needed and could carry in a suitcase or in trash bags, got in my car(one time on foot even) and had no idea of what I was going to do, where I was going to go...but I did know I absolutely had to go...

Re: Time is of the Essence
Living on your own VS living with your parents or immediate family with helping and assisting them on a 24/7 basis, is totally different. Dedicating and devoting the past four years of my life here with my parents will never ever be forgotten, and it's been an honor and joy to have this opportunity help and be with them. There are many pro's and con's to this, and until you've lived it and with family, there's no way you could completely have the depth of understanding it... sure you can be understanding and compassionate for everyone involved. What a trip it's been, sorry... I know I'm blabbing away now.

Re: Time is of the Essence
Didn't mean to upset you or anyone else with the understanding part hon...
As you may or may not know...a whole lot of our members here are 24/7 caretakers of loved ones, many are no longer caretakers now, because that has ended sadly for them.
Many are not taking care of their parents, who have, and still are living a long live, many are taking care of their ill children, yes, some terminal.
I can say tons of us are now seeing our parents enter their golden years and we will be stepping up to take care of one or both of them and are prepared to do that when the time does come around.
If you need sweetie, just ask around, you'll find plenty of support here from those that are or have, gone through exactly what you are going through. You know how our people are here, they would love nothing more than to be there for you, listen and talk supportively about what you have in common.

Re: Time is of the Essence
Thank you soooo much Chazzy for understanding, and for everyone here for supporting me through some of these difficult times, and my world of craziness. Since January, my Mom has went through a sprained right rotor cuff, five weeks into physical therapy, she found out she needed open heart surgery replacing the aorta valve and one bypass. After being released from the hospital four days after surgery, she was home for roughly a week, fell down, was re-admitted to the local hospital due to 'sundowning(temporary dementia'),she stayed for 10 days, and was released. We also had the visiting nurses here on a daily then weekly basis on two separate admissions for almost 3 months. Finally through all of this, she is now in Cardio physical therapy 3x a week at the hospital to heal her heart, build her endurance so she can have a normal daily life again. My Dad... he has his problems too, so I've been assisting the both of them, it's a wonder why at times I've pulled my hair out. As of the first week of September, she will complete her 12 weeks of Cardio physical therapy, and will be 6 months since her surgery. Another reason I'm beginning to search for my own place since I see her health improving quite nicely, and things around here are calming down.
