20130226-3 – Dreams, Desires and Time

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 15, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

So thinking about my previous post and considering what we have recently been through with her parents, my wife and I need to take a look at our own situation. Seems like a good place to start is with an honest assessment of health and health care needs (reality), followed by dreams and desires for our future, and time. I … Continue reading →

20130226-2 – Independent and Assisted Living

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 14, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

This will be the first of three posts regarding living and lifestyle choices we all need to consider as we age. Caution: it may sound a little formal, rather than a casual conversation like I would prefer … As part of this caution you’ll notice that I’ve slipped into “strategic planner” mode for this series, that’s my instinctive MO (modus … Continue reading →

20130312 – Parenting, Finances and Circumstances

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 13, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

I’ve been pondering a few things lately as you’ll notice from the title of today’s post. We’ll see where the pondering takes us… How do you end up in the sandwich? Is parenting a contributing factor, finances, health or just plain circumstances? I’m going to chalk it up to circumstances, keeping in mind that where you are today is the … Continue reading →

20130311 – Thinking about Our Current Situation

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 11, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Yesterday was one of those “routine” days that you’d just never have if you weren’t in the sandwich. After church and a light lunch Sunday we headed over to Mom’s condo to clear out a few more things and grab a portable phone and some clothes she needed. Then we headed over to her room at “the manor” to sit and chat … Continue reading →

20130308 – DNR

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 8, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Dear Mom, Thank you for making clear your end of life wishes as you learned more about your condition. You made your passing a gift to your family by making sure we were not left with those difficult decisions that often tear families apart. Your decision was a blessing in disguise. I love you, Terry I’ve been trained and certified … Continue reading →

20130307 – Frustration and Boredom

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 7, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

I’m frustrated. Sometimes I just don’t know what to do for my mother-in-law. She’s bored. There are daily events inside and outside her residence and she doesn’t participate. She’s bored. She has knitting and puzzles and a phone to talk to family and friends but she’s bored. She has cable TV with five dozen channels but she’s bored. Other residents … Continue reading →

20130305-2 – What are those infernal numbers?

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on March 5, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

YYYYMMDD – These blog posts come from a journal I keep, actually several journals, one for each blog. That eight digit number is the date that I first drafted the entry, first the year, then the month, then the day. I add a dash and a number for days when I draft two or more entries on the same day. … Continue reading →
