Hey everyone! This is Craig here. I know you are not used to hearing from me on this blog, but I wanted to all let you know that Mary has been recognized in a nationally-published chiropractic journal. This journal is read by ALL the chiropractors in the country. You can see the article here. We […]
Do you notice blessings when they are all around?!
Mom’s still with us, spending one more night here at the house. Got her started on the UTI medication and she should be feeling better in a day or so. She was already doing so much better than Saturday. Aside from this crummy cold that I’m fighting, this was a blessed day, one of those […]
Older people deserve to be at home, if possible
Down to my toes, I know it was meant that we personally take care of our family…when they are young and can’t take care of themselves and when they are old and can’t take care of themselves. But, now I have to see if I am a strong enough person to put into action what […]
The connection between UTI and thinking problems
Hi Everyone, Don’t underestimate the importance of a healthy urinary tract when it comes to older people having clear presence of mind. I need to find the research proof on this. But, I’ve seen it several times with Mom and people who run homes for older people seem to know about the problem. Not every […]
Uncle Paul Kleinsorge is pretty entertaining!
Aunt Ruby’s party was a long and hearty party. We started socializing about 11:00AM and I had to drag Mother/Dena away at 9:15 PM! As always, I had my guitar strapped to my back. So, all of the talent in the room couldn’t wiggle out of sharing with people who loved them. Bart, Aunt Inez’ […]
Aunt Ruby Kleinsorge-Wittman is 90 years old!!!
Dena/Mom was a real trooper for the trip over the weekend. It was a pilgrimage back to Kansas City to celebrate with my father’s sister, Ruby. She was queen for a day while everyone hugged her in awe of all the years that she has loved and supported her family, who mostly lives close by […]
Mom’s, mom’s marinated cucumber onion recipe
One thing that has come from the challenging days we’ve faced since Mom’s stroke is the ease in which I see the precious content of certain moments. This recipe was one of those little moments. Try it, you’ll LOVE it! McCoy Marinated Onions and Cucumbers A medium cucumber-sliced thin (We peeled ours) A small onion-halved […]
Slumber Party for Dena Kleinsorge
I’m so proud of Mom this morning. It’s been almost a year since she’s been capable of staying in her own apartment and last night, she and I made the brave decision to have her try it. The LAST time she stayed the night, she was terrified of demons flying through the air and thought […]
Singin’ the blues, but worth it
There’s always a little crash in Mother’s spirits after Ilene’s visit, a little post-holiday blue, I guess. This is especially true if we don’t have some event to focus on in the future. So, Mom’s a little blue, which rubs off on me a some, I’m afraid. If you’re planning a trip, please let us […]
No crisis for Dena Kleinsorge is a blessing
I haven’t written in Mom’s blog in a while. *sigh* I really have to catch up. I just got really overwhelmed and exhausted. But, I have at least been treading water. Mom’s doing better, but not as well as I hope for in the future. We continue to have ideas to push her further towards […]
