Poor Chris, (Pennifold), she came for a visit today so we could do some sewing together, but the Aged Care Assessment Team Lady came to re-assess MIL and ended up being here for over 3 hours, so I didn't get to help Chris at all with the kiddies costumes she is making.

Way to go girls so nice to have a sewing friend:
):):):)wish i had one hugs to both of you :):)

Yes it is lovely when we get together with like-minded souls, really special.
You just need to keep asking for Cuties who may live nearby, Cuties are top people. Hugs n roses, Megann

Dear Meganne: I hope now there is a light at the end of the tunnel with getting help for MIL. It will take a big burden off your shoulders, I am sure. I pray that they find a suitable place for her and that she will be happy there.
Always thinking about you.
Nice to have Chris there for you also, friends are so important in life.
Warm Hugs
Jerri

Thanks Jerri and I couldn't agree more about the importance of friends, they sure do make the world a better place.
BTW, you have an email waiting to see you. :-)))) HUgs, Meg

Bummer - it takes lots of time for all the medical assessments, lots of hoops to jump through here. I hope you got a great hug from Chris!

Yes they sure don't make it easy, it is taking way too long to get it organised. Hugs n roses, Meg

I am glad to hear that they came for the eval - so that you missed the time to stitch with Chris - sounds like a show - Hehehe. I do hope that the two of you can get together soon. And the meeting with the all of you together would be so much fun to have a video or pictures of.

I don't know about a video Shirlene, I wouldn't anyone collapsing from mirth. LOL!!!

Hopefully the assessment lady will be getting some action happening on MIL's care situation. I'm sure it's high time you had a break from that job! No doubt yourself and Chris will have other times to catch up more productively. Pity we're all not lots closer :)

Yes the ACAT lady today was much more helpful than the last one, she even called a local Hostel for us to go and see. They have two vacancies, but our paper work isn't completed due to lack of help filling it out, which thankfully, she took care of for us.

Hope things get better. Its nice you have Chris as a dear friend so close to comfort you.

It sure is nice to have friends, it's just as nice being one too. :-) hugs, Meg

anytime you can spend with a friend is precious, I am sure just her presence was comforting to you. Hope things go well with the MIL situation,
hugs to you both

Oh it sure was wonderful having Chris here, she flies in like a refreshing whirlwind and lifts the spirits of all around her. Funny thing is that Polly and Coral also have the same personalities so I can hardly wait for the four of us to get together one day.
Just the thought of that cheers me. :-)
hugs n roses, M

Things usually are as they are supposed to be. When will you find out the results of MIL's status? I wiah I could meet you both. Blessings. christine

They still diagnosed her as low care dementia status. She isn't really low-care but she isn't yet high care, so it's a difficult situation. So much red tape and it's so confusing, it's doing my head in, I just can't concentrate on anything. Hugs n roses, M

Thanks so much my dear friend. It's nothing, I was glad to be there for you and I know you've had a rough week. One good thing though, being on my own I got 16 of the Lion costumes finished. 4 more Lion costumes to make and finish and then only 22 Monkey tummies to put on. I have training tomorrow and will try and do some more over the rest of the weekend. Catch up with you later. Love Chris

You did great on your own. That is amazing.

by meganne 01 Jun 2012

You should have left some here for me to do. Maybe we can get together nxt week and knock the rest over???
Hugs, m

Chris at least got to spend some time with you and lift your spirits. That, to me would be worth it all, just to be in your company for a while. I am sure she enjoyed it as much as you dear friend/Lillian
