Her level of care where she is is excellent and I'm affraid that bringing her across state lines might not be as good. Kellys mother had horrible care here .
Also, if I bring her here and my own health continues to decline...Then what?
I think I speak for everyone when I say we certainly hope your health doesn't deteriorate Ed, but if your Mum is happy and settled and getting great care then it makes sense to leave her in Georgia. I hope you have a good weekend with her.

Finally caught up with all the posts that I missed last night.
I was out with my twin sisters celebrating their birthdays with a lovely meal.
I was the chauffeur so no alcohol for me!!

Lola update:
He is very active and looks great - but appetite is still poor.
He's eaten quite a few dandies and plantains over the last few days but not as many as he would usually do.
He had another dose of his meds this morning and I think there's still one more day left in the bottle.
Passed quite a lot of red/brown urine in his bath which scared the hell out of me but it could be all the dandies.
I tried to retrieve a sample but it was just dispersed and diluted too quickly.
Not heard anything from Bristol vets but will get a CT/MRI next week one way or another.
I think the vet I have been seeing would have to refer somewhere for that as the practices she uses don't have the facilities.
Silly tort will not sit still and bask under his MVB!
At least he is still eating. As long as he is still eating it is a good sign. It will come right. Because i said so.[emoji6]

Shame. Tough decision but one only you can make.

Thanks Carol - I'll tell him.
I managed to get him to bask under his mvb for a while - I put his girlfriend under it. :rolleyes:
He got fed up of being ignored eventually though and went to bed,:)

Lol. Shame poor Lola. The life of a single guy. Tell him he is not the only one. There are millions who end up going to bed alone. [emoji23] [emoji23]

The same here. Hubby reckons he wants to go to 66. Me on the other hand want to be able to enjoy retirement for a very long time.
Me too. But I can't imagine becoming incapacitated or unable to do all the physical stuff I do now. I'd hate to have to be put into a 'home.' Maybe if that time comes, I'll be ready to meet my maker.

Good Morning Yvonne. It is night time here and so far the weekend has been a good one. Hows yours going?
All my outside work is finished and now I'm waiting for my beef strips to simmer a bit more, then I'll thicken the gravy and have it with mashed potatoes and green beans. Misty has already been fed, the pushy broad.
