If Llamas are like Alpacas - they have a tough attitude. Kick that pneu to the curb! Get well ❤️

Now that it's nice enough out to expose a little more skin I'm on the lookout for a good sunscreen, I picked up an oil free one from Hawaiian Tropic today that goes on nice but the scent is overpowering, especially on my face. I'm tired of buying sunscreen that ends up not being used because it is either thick and gloopy or so strongly scented I have to wash it off as soon as I come back inside, does anybody here have a favourite they can recommend?
(Bonus points if it doesn't cost an arm and leg)

Just a quick update as they keep me busy in hospital. Thanks everyone for your posts - not well enough to post individually. Pulmonologist came and confirmed with Hospitalist the pneumonia. Shadows on my lungs from Macrodantin for U.T.I. Cease immediately.
WI'll try to catch a nap before nurse comes in

Hello to all you wonderful friends! I just wanted to share the sad news that my sister in law, my husband's oldest sister passed away last night. Six years ago she was stricken with Alzheimer's, she then came in contact with a COVID positive caregiver, which sent her, sadly, down a spiral of delirium. A strong woman of faith, she went to be with the Lord. It is a difficult time for us with me in the hospital with pneumonia and this sad loss. Thank you in advance for your condolences. Please know that they are appreciated deeply.

I couldn’t sleep last night. Crazy dreams, the Colorado shooting and my mom in hospice.

I am so restless. I pray. I realize everyone leaves this earth. I know that my mom is ready.

Mom is calm. If she is agitated the nurse gives her Ativan. So, I trust that she is comfortable after I leave the hospice facility.

Has anyone ever felt that they want to go everyday but feels that it’s hard to do?

I went just about everyday when she was in rehab.

This is different. I know it’s mom final place. It’s getting to me. Why is this happening? You know, the anxiety. I lost my father in 2002. I know that parents die.

I know mom is peaceful and is expecting her death. She’s not afraid or anything like that.

You know what she told me yesterday? That she loves the color of her walls. They are a very pale peaceful green that has a gray undertone. Green is one of her favorite colors. Blue and green are her favorites.

I feel pressured to be there. She is so happy that I am there. Yesterday I stayed a long time.

I don’t know if I could watch her die. I feel bad that I am so anxious about that.

I don’t know exactly how long she has left.

I’m scared to talk to the nurse about it like I spoke to the hospice nurse about my brother.

Maybe everything is more upsetting because I didn’t sleep well last night.

I get like that too sometimes. I am relived your mom is calm and has Ativan if she gets agitated and it is a good medication. It helped both my dad and brother during their last days.
Hope you can get some rest today. Perhaps a nap in the afternoon.
The shooting was terrible, we live in such a crazy world. I feel sad for the families.

Of course you have to decide for yourself NHWM but I can tell you I regret not having the courage to be with my brother and my father more in their final days/hours, others were willing to take the lead and I was more than willing to step back and let them.

cwille,

You hit the nail on the head. I don’t want to have regrets.

I was at the hospital and rehab all the time with daddy.

I saw my brother before he died too. He didn’t last very long in hospice, a few weeks. I was there. He left once to go home but returned shortly afterwards.

I guess I am a bit scared. I don’t know how I would react if I saw her actually die.

Her room has an attached sitting area. Only two people are allowed to visit during Covid.

I am not going to stay away and I stay for awhile. I don’t show mom that I am anxious. Deep inside I feel some anxiety.

Thanks for responding. I want objective opinions so I can see all sides.

Crappy weather here today. Flash flood warnings so I don’t want to be out in it. I wanted to go see my mom in hospice but it has been storming here.
