Lets Not Screw This Up.

All Hat No Cattle

Stay close to home. Read a Book. Talk to your spouse and kids. Play some games. Bond, they may not be there tomorrow if you are foolish.

This is not a test. This is an emergency.

2. I guess this concept makes me feel less guilty for staying home

and not doing anything.

[sheshe2]

3. Yep.

I do nothing at times and feel isolated. If it wasn't for DU, books and movies I would be lost.

My full time job is 24/7 home care for my 94 year old mom. My sister and I are trying to keep her safe. We are thinking of letting some of the hospice care givers go as it puts her in danger. The physical burden on us will be overwhelming.

Hugs and be well. Hard times a coming.

6. I took care of my mother for five years

She had Dementia and was bedridden. My son moved back from out of state to help me after the first two years to help me because I had to go back to work. He worked free lance so he could take care of her during the day.

My day started two hours earlier because I had to change her bedding and clean her up. She was incontinent. When I got home after work I had to do it all over again for another two hours. It lasted for 5 years all together and it was physically brutal. My son helped by feeding her and helping her during the day.

It’s tough, I know. There was no life outside of work and taking care of her. But she was at home, in peaceful surroundings with the pets she loved.

12. I love you and your son for all you did.

I am blessed that mom does not have dementia like dad did.

She is old but with it. The scary part now is not being able to get meds for her and groceries without exposing her. We order and can pick up at the in the car as much as we can. Hospice, the nurse and homecare givers we are going to have to let go. We or they bring the virus in, she dies. My sister and I are both in danger as well. We are in our mid to late 60s.

Hug to you.

17. I hope your family make it through well

This virus exacerbates everything! Maybe soon you’ll be able to get her medication through the mail. And do you have a grocery delivery service in your area? I started using Instacart when my mother was sick and I use it now because I have limited mobility. It’s been a godsend! Just recently the CEO sent out a letter saying what they’re doing to deal with this Pandemic.

Thank you.

10. You are my hero sheshe2 for taking care of your mother,

not many these days would do that.

[sheshe2]

19. Thank you, dware.

You stay safe out there.

4. Okay, people. It's not like many of us haven't been practicing for this.

8. Not laying, lying in front of the TV.

9. The "T.V." in the image bugged me only a little bit.

I can't be lying in front of the tv, either; the dog takes up all the space there.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. Can you get the dog to move a bit so you can use

him as a back rest? Just a suggestion.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. He weighs 250. I weigh 150.

He doesn't mind if I use him for a backrest, but getting him adjusted for the right aim and angle for tv is too much like work.

11. Staying home during the day is weird

I'm used to working. My husband and I both work for the state so we're luckier than most. My husband is working remotely. I can't really do that with my job duties. Right now things are up in the air for me.

[Raine]

16. This is easy for me 😗

I've had lots of practice..

18. What is your recommendation for spouse

That is not taking it as seriously and goes to stores even if we have food?

Right now it’s causing arguments. I made him take wipes with him yesterday, he just wanted to make recipe we didn’t have ingredients for, but we have plenty of food. He went to two stores.

He thinks I am overreacting, am I?

[zackymilly]

20. Next time he leaves, change the locks. n/t

[marlakay]

21. Lol its a thought sometimes 😜

I keep thinking he will give it to me if he keeps going out. 🥺
