 long as she could. Her family is very understanding to give her up for three weeks. I don't know how I could have managed without her. Not only the great meals that she fixed for me... she also drove me all over town for meds, dr's appointments... and yes ladies we did get some fun in while she was here... JUST load me up with pain drugs and I was good to go :O) I have three more weeks before I go to the Dr. I am still having good days and bad days. I still can't sleep in my bed and my lower back is screaming at me to lay down. I attempted to lay down in bed yesterday... I had a 3 hr nap... that's as long as I could take it. I will continue to try sleeping in the bed. It's the hard plastic brace it has no give so it puts pressure on my neck.
Speaking of Nadine... When she cooked our dinner meals she made extra food for me, to put in the freezer for the next three weeks so I don't have to fix anything.. or try to go out to eat. Yes she made delicious good meals for me!!
Driving is still sort of iffy... Big Daddy O has purchased a panoramic view mirror for me so I don't have to twist my neck so much. That should arrive later this week. Then he will probably install it next week for me.
I hope I am feeling better in the next week or so to get my own Halloween Blocks completed. Nadine worked on hers and got them completed while she was here. Sorry can't show they are a surprise :O) Nadine did get a lot of sewing in.. she sewed a large amount of hexies while here... she also sewed the following: 12 Halloween Swap Blocks, two pinkeeps/ with hexies, two tote shopping bags/with hexies, one pencil case/ with hexies, one blouse, one cute neck scarf for me, cut out an additional blouse, change her mind on sewing it and started one baby quilt (almost completed) and completed one large carry on tote with hexies for the airplane. I say she did a fair bit of sewing while she was here. I know she enjoyed the time she had to sew!
I had the best time while Nadine was here.. I hope her visit taking care of me was not to bad!!!
This is the large Tote she took home on the plane.
Here are the two very cut Hexie PinKeeps that she made us.
The following is sort of funny... We were eating breakfast out and Nadine had just emptied her jelly container... She say's hummm what can we make with this. We took them home and I made ring pinkeeps.
Well that didn't work out so well because I used crushed walnut shells and fiberfil. They were a bit heavy once they were completed. They did not want to stay up right on our fingers. 
This was our first try... we didn't find the time to do the second try.
LOL! Now I'm plumb tuckered out just reading all the stuff we did while I was there ;-) I was happy to come and help you out, my sweet friend. I'll send you the pics I have that you don't in the next day or so. I made lasagna yesterday, at my daughter-in-law's request - she's newly pregnant and I have declared she is The New Queen of the House, and she should get whatever she wants :-) Hope you will be enjoying YOUR lasagna leftovers in the freeezer soon. I showed hubby and son, Ben, the empty grape jelly tins...uh...they said something like I shouldn't be allowed out on my own... Glad to hear Daddy-O ordered you that mirror - yay! Hugs and smooches to you and The Pitty!
Glad to hear that you're on the mend and doing well. It's good to hear from you.
Certainly sounds like Nadine was the perfect recuperation companion, so fabulous she was able to come and take care of you...take care...
You two are such good friends! Love it --- hope you are 100% super fast.

You feel pain when you see a loved one declining in health and unable to take care of their home, their personal hygiene or cooking up their next meal. You realize that they can suffer a fall or ill health, get depressed or suffer from Alzheimer’s if they continue to live alone which will make matters even worse. Elderly home care services are available that cater to people who cannot cope with life, when they grieve the loss of a loved one or feel frustrated that they are unable to perform daily tasks on their own.
It is important to learn to express your concerns without accusations or trying to play the “blame game”. Talk to your loved ones about your wanting to ensure that they are really cared for and your worry about their trying to manage on their own. Before they are incapable of making any decision on their own, you should be able to discuss the positive benefits of enlisting the help of a caregiver, or convince them that they would be well looked after in one of the best home care agencies in Philadelphia. Talk to your parents about the options available and encourage them to get involved in activities where
