What Is Hospice Care?
I gotta be honest here; I had a totally different idea of what Hospice Care was. I truly live in my own little fairy-tale land. Seriously. Some of the things that I review just amaze me!! I can’t believe that they exist. Automation faaaaagetaboutit! Simple things like the fax machine? BLOWS my mind!! HOW does my machine know what the other person sent me!? So, basically I’m a kid in a grown up body. So, in my own little fairy-tale world I heard the word Hospice and I pictures one of those movies where this nurse in a crisp white uniform, white tights, white shoes, snappy little nurses hat comes in and totally takes over. Is with my Mom 24/7 and I basically get to be the daughter that just sits here next to Mom and hold her hand. Talk to her and take regular bathroom breaks with the door shut. THAT Hospice may exist for a financial class way, way (like light years) way above ours but it’s not OUR Hospice. Fairy-tale aside Hospice is amazing. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am feeling blessed. We picked Silverado San Diego for Mom’s Hospice. Christmas DAY!!! CHRISTMAS DAY!! We…
Life Changes In A Split Second
I debated a long time with this post. First, just whether to even write it or not. But, in the almost 8 years I’ve been writing Peanut Butter and Whine, it’s been an ever-changing blog. I’ve always written what was on my mind (ha, or what’s left of it anyway!) and what’s happening in my life. So, today you get the Cliff Notes version. I explain more, add my thoughts and my new understanding of well……. basically how bad it sucks to get old. On Friday, December 22 at 6:00 pm I went to my Mom’s granny flat at the back of our house to check on her as is my usual routine. I found her on the floor with a vacant stare and her arm horribly mangled behind her head. So still and lifeless I truly believed she was gone. Life CHANGES! In A SPLIT second. I went from wrapping Christmas gifts to directing paramedics in a span of 5 minutes. Here starts my first episode of guilt. I have no way of knowing how long she had been laying there. Guilt. From several hours in the ER to being moved into Intensive Care Unit at Tri City Hospital…
LEGOLAND Castle Hotel Taking Reservations NOW!!!
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Dec. 20, 2017) – Want to give a child a gift they’ll never forget? Invite them to be one of the first to stay at LEGOLAND® Castle Hotel when it opens in spring 2018! While construction teams work to build the nation’s first LEGOLAND Castle Hotel, Master Model Builders are working just as rapidly building the more than 2,100 LEGO® models for the Hotel including the iconic model of the royal statue that will greet guests as they arrive. A team of Master Model Builders spent 1,243 hours creating this statue that represents all of the key figures of the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel in one monument: A Wizard, Princess, Jester, Knight, King and Queen are all represented in front of the 250-room, entirely castle-themed hotel. The LEGO model is created from 251,565 LEGO pieces, weighs 1,563 pounds and took 750 hours to develop and build! In fact, because of the size of the model, it took 133 hours to carefully disassemble it and pack it up to ship to Carlsbad, California from overseas. To book a visit to stay in the Knight and Dragon, Royal Princess or Magic Wizard rooms, visit Legoland.
