A Week of Frustrations.

Frustrations! Lately that is what seems to be in our lives.

1.) Father-in-law had 5 seizures in one hour last Thursday morning. The hospital lost his glasses and watch. Today they are sending him back to the nursing home, and he can't walk, and is still in la-la land 3/4 of the time. Tomorrow they intend to take him for his radiation treatments. Don't ask me to take him anywhere --- he is a 3X and I know better then try it!

2.) Mother-in-law lays in bed like a lump of coal. Has the poor me syndrome. Saturday when there to see her she was throwing garbage on the floor. Declared that is where the garbage can was to be. Didn't even look just stuck her hand out over the side of the bed and dropped it.
(That banana left a sticky spot on the floor). She is also seeing things. Things that are not there. Also states she sees people walk the hallway that have recently died there in the nursing home.
Back to staying in bed and complaining. At 87 years old you will probably have a pain or two. You should be grateful you had all those years earlier that you could come and go and live pain free. I refuse to trapse to the hospital time and time again while they test you and say there is nothing wrong with you.

3.) The other Sunday morning we awoke with NO HEAT and it was chilly outside.
We purchased a small electric heater and waited till Monday to call them. YEP it was the control board on our brand new unit. (Go figure).
To work on the furnace it has to be unhooked from the propane and brought out thru the grill under the kitchen stove and they put it on the dining room table to disassemble it. Not an easy project.

4.) While they were there to fix the furnace they told Bud how to try and eliminate the water heater spewing at us....when he called them to do the start up again after he had done what they said the next step was "Now turn your power on" WHAT...??? You never told me to turn it off before I do it.....OOOPPPPS That fried the electric element in the hot water heater.
He purchased a new one and today he put it in...So we are off the propane and using electric again. (NOTE: The noises the propane heating of water made was not to my liking).
He is very pleased with himself that he was able to put it in and we have it back to working the way we like it.

5.) Work not as busy as we have been--- Between seasons. Hoping and wishing we have a very light winter this winter. My arms hurt more when it is cold. And typing when your arms hurt is not an easy task.

BUT---GOD IS IN CONTROL !!!! HE KNOWS WHAT OUR FUTURE HOLDS!
We must rely on him and trust him and he will see us through these frustrations.

THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE
WE WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
