"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

I should be up and about in a few days.  :) There's just a lot of post-op care with ice bags and soaking in Epsom Salts, changing dressings....blah, blah, blah. Pain, swelling, "oozing". Don't worry about me...I'm the kind that always imagines the worst and then sails through everything.  ;) I'm just on a poor me kick today.

"Epsom salts, swelling, pain, ice bags and boozing....
Sitting 'round chilling my toes as they're oozing....
Changing my dressings while Bing Crosby sings....
These are a few of my favorite things."

You know I love you, Luise - I'll be thinking of you tomorrow :) Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

Oh, Pen...you're something else! ;D ;D ;D

How about this?


THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS (Senior Version)


Maalox and nose drops and needles for knittin',
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittin's,
Bundles of magazines tied up with string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,]
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the "pipes" leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
Then I remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad!

Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food nor food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains and no fear of sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short, shrunken frames
When we remember our favorite "Thangs,".

When the joints ache, when the hips break,
When the eyes grown dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad!!!!!
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. Dalai Lama

Oh, that's priceless, Luise. I can definitely check off a few things from the list, and more as every season passes.
