Good evening all. It’s almost time for Trivia which begins at 8 pm and ends at 9:30 pm. Anyone can pose a question during this time, but, hopefully, you will know the correct response so that our players won’t be left in the dark.

I will be missing during tonight’s game. I will be meeting with the caregivers at the Rehab to go over some plans for bringing hubby home. I need to have some information as to the care he will need upon release. On one hand I am excited, but on the other, I’m hoping that I can continue giving him the care he needs. I am not the type of person who gives up easily and that is how this will be approached. For me, this is a CAN DO situation. On that note, have a great game and if I am able will pop in if possible.

Oodiebom,
I’m so glad you made it home and was able to give us an update. I always love hearing how it’s going for you. Hoping and praying surgery will go well and he will be able to come home and hope it will not be too hard on you. Hope also you have a nice weekend.

Hi. I am home. Tired and happy. As far as I can tell hubby will remain in rehab until after surgery. At that time a determination will be made as to whether he can return home or will need a little more care. I will have some help along with a visiting nurse to check at least once per week. This will change following the results of removing the catheter and his ability to get from bed to bathroom. It’s a wait and see situation.

DEFG, sorry about the mixup. You are doing a great job and I admire you for helping us with the Trivia. I do enjoy the five questions in a row and time to answer. This to me is the way Trivia has always been played. However, I do miss the points and the tickets and in essence wish it could stay. Points do help in keeping up with others and knowing that either you are at the top or down in the gutter. Guess, like the rest, I will have to wait and see what happens after the holidays. Meanwhile, DEFG, if you don’t mind, would love to see your questions weekly along with the rest of the players jumping in when they can.

Sweeney, congratulations on your win. Having hubby home will certainly make my day a bit easier. Juggling between redoing the house and rushing to the Rehab with food in hand has had it’s ups and downs. One thing I have done is leaving some snacks in a drawer for him to go to whenever he needs a tasty treat. Food on the weekends leaves something to be desired. I now wait until I am at the Rehab before making a decision to go out or order out.

Thank you Sheba for stepping in. Hope you all have a great weekend and some warmer temps where you are during the week.

  I only had 5 questions ready, so the rest were off the top of my head. I’ll do 5 at a time starting next Friday, Nov. 10th.
  So glad things are progressing for you at home & with your husband. He’s been in rehab such a long time. I hope you are almost well, too.
  Good Night😘

What does “phubbed” mean?
Have you ever been phubbed or phubbed someone??

  Technically correct ->>
  “Researchers found that people who are “phubbed” (snubbed in favor of a cell phone) by their partner are less satisfied with their relationship”.

Hoping you will be able to make the smoothest transition from rehab to home. It is a bit daunting because you are taking care of someone you love and only want the best for them. Just keep a calm mind and a steady pace. One thing at a time, one day at a time.

On the plus side of HSN, I actually won something this week – Andrew Lessman Turmeric-400, 120 capsules. Wonder if these will help with all my stress???

Take care Oodie and have safe travels home.
