Today is a beautiful day!!!
Today has been a beautiful day for me because the weather
was so pretty, sunny, light breeze, spring in the air and every
where all is alive with buds, blooming flowers, plants and trees.
Green grasses looking like a beautiful thick lush green carpet
everywhere you see. So many flowers coming to life in a rainbow
of beautiful colors and the trees are blooming and some have
already leaved out in the many different colors of greens.
~~~~~~~~~"God's work is so easy to see and to feel, God's work is so
beautiful and little things remind me of how "wondrously
awesome" he is!" I need to see and feel that when things are
so hard to deal with and I thank you Lord for letting me see
and to feel it. I also thank you Lord for being with me in this
very trying time I'm going through and for giving me the
strength that I need and for your help to keep me from breaking,
I know I'm strong Lord but I feel my strength waning.
~~~~~~~~~~
My mother isn't and will not get any better and the last
several weeks have been very hard on her and so hard
on my dad and myself. I have finally gotten through with
court and have received full guardian- ship over my
mother. A friend of mine said something to me a couple
days ago and shockingly no truer words were ever spoken
when she said, "Well so your a first time mother...again"
I had not thought of it like that with the full effect of those
words when she said that! The sound of those words hit
me like a ton of bricks, it is hard to explain how I felt and
the feelings that started to well up inside of me.
My dad is also having more and more problems with his
mind forgetting more or just not remembering or can't
think straight and gets confused more. He is having more
health problems and now has a hernia in one side of the
incision from surgery he had back in Sept. and I found a
knot in one side of his stomach yesterday when I was giving
him a shot. It isn't a big knot, about the size of a marble and
I am trying not to get / be scared or show him any fear
and it is hard on top of everything else that is going on. The
surgery he had in Sept. was his left kidney being removed
because of a huge tumor in it and at the same time his spleen
was ruptured and had to be removed also. Now the knot is
on the same side and the hernia is growing too. And he is
stressing big time about my mother and I can't make it any
better no matter how hard I try!
Although I do know in my mind/brain that I can not make
it better, in my heart I should be able to make it better some
how, some way...this is how I feel. (This is part of life and I
guess getting older!)

Skin Needling
Skin Needling has been done in Europe for many years.
*The production of new collagen continues for up to 12 months
(Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation, Percutaneous Collagen
Induction, Collagen Induction Therapy, Skin Needling, Dry
Needling, Needle Dermabrasion)
** Skin Needling is a procedure that involves puncturing
the skin several times with a small needle to induce the
collagen growth and improve the skin texture, wrinkles and
ines, scarsand stretch marks.
*The production of new collagen continues for up to 12 months
after the procedure. Local anesthetic creams applied to the
treated area for 30 to 45 mins. There is another local
anesthetic gel that is used to help keep the area moist and also
deaden during treatment. Some times there is mild discomfort
associated with the procedure, but most individuals do not have
much of a problem with it. After the procedure it is possible to
add retinals or vitamin C to the skin to further enhance the
collagen production of the needling.
**The face, neck, hands, arms, chest and back can be treated.
Most of the time it is the face that is or the cheek area for most
people, but it also depends on if it's a scar or stretch marks on
the body. So skin needling may be done anywhere on the body.
* The side effects are generally experiencing some redness of
the area done for up to a week after the procedure and you may
want to take a few days off work at this time. There may also be
swelling that can persist for a few days, especially if your prone
to swelling easily. For about 24 hrs. afterwards there may be
some oozing of the skin at the area of needling.
*The skin needling is one procedure that it will not hurt your
body to have done as using laser can do, the skin needling works
on all skin types from light to dark there is no chance of
pigmentation problems. The number of treatments will depend
on the response but generally you may need from 1 to 5
treatments. For most people require around 3 treatments.
As soon as I can add some photos I will and
also to my website.

Some Information on Dementia and Alzhiemers
I will be writing different things like this from time to time to maybe in someway help the ones out there to find the help they are looking for or get answers to questions that they might have and hopefully to understand a little more or even better what a love one may be dealing with or going through. I do hope in some small way that by me doing this is truly a help in some way for some one. Having to be caretakers of our parents is so hard and very demanding and there is so much to learn and do. No matter what...though PRAYER is the best thing I know of for anything!
As I said in my profile I am caretaker of both my parents. My father is still able to live at home for the time being. He has heart trouble, high blood pressure, a pace maker, one kidney left and no spleen and just found out he has cataracts in both eyes, although not bad yet and he is 82. Dad has other health problems such as he is forgetting things worse than ever and the dr.s
have said he is getting Alzheimer's. It's not bad yet but he is on his way. Of course that is a NO-NO to dad as far as he is concern. I'm sure you know how that goes. Dad has also had several strokes and these have been called mini strokes, that is until 2 yrs. ago when he had a stroke that put him in the hospital and they had to do surgery with in the first two days he was in the hospital because of his heart and put in a pace maker. That pace maker caused a huge blood clot from around the pace maker up his shoulder all the way down his left arm and to tip of his fingers were swelled three times the size.
Then my mother within 3 mons. of this happening to my dad had a heart attack and a double stroke! She ended up having over 22 bleeds in her brain. This on top of her DEMENTIA she was diagnosed with almost a yr. before. The double stroke fast forward her dementia and she had to spend three wks. in the hospital. After the heart attack and strokes I had to put her into a nursing home for 24/7 care because there was no way I could take care of her the way she needed to be taken care of and of course my dad also and he couldn't take care of her in any way. Mother has had several set backs since this happened to her and each set back causes more problems for her with the dementia. She is for getting more and more faster, she can't get her words out that she wants to use. She is forgetting names, places, people, faces and all within SECONDS of one another. Sometimes on a good day we can have a good conversation for a few mins. then it's gone.
I call it being in the moment with her or mother had a good moment because they are getting shorter and shorter, and it is getting harder and harder for her. My mother will be 84 in a few days and we don't know how long she does have with us. The nurses and doctor's p.a. agree that they don't feel like it is real long but of course with something as this one never really knows, but she is getting worse. It seems like just in the last few wks. she has gotten worse.
My mother at times knows that when she is trying to tell me or my dad something and she can't get out what she wants to say that something is wrong but she doesn't understand what it is or why it is the way it is. She knows or feels she is suppose to know what she is wanting to say or do but it's like she can't get there from here type of thing and she starts to bing out or bounce off the walls so to speak, and if she can't get calm down then she has to be given something to help her calm down. Depending on how bad she gets will vary on the meds she gets. Like from a cream, pill or shot. In that order depending on the severity.
Please email me if I can help answer any questions, Thank you very much!
*******************************************
There is a difference between DEMENTIA and ALZHEIMER'S...and most people do not know this. Symptoms are sometimes hard to see with Dementia and are most times confused with Alzheimer's.
Dementia and Alzheimer's diseases are perhaps two of the most confusing diseases that exist in the realm of mental degradation in America today. There are a number of differences, however, that allow for those dealing with symptoms characteristic of these two diseases to become more informed.
~~~~~Introduction~~~~~
It is important to compare dementia vs. Alzheimer's disease to realize the differences between the two conditions. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia marked by memory loss in older people. Dementia is the gradual loss of intellectual function. Alzheimer's statistics show that the disease can strike a person as early as 45, while dementia generally takes hold after age 70. The most confused form of dementia is Multi-Infarct Dementia or MID. This condition also attacks the blood vessels in the brain. Both disorders require testing to determine the best course of treatment.

Part 3 of Permanent Cosmetic Make Up
Permanent make up for your Eyebrows, Eyeliner and Lips...also Areole (Nipple) Color Enhancement.
*We have a little saying about permanent make up...you wake up beautiful and you go to bed beautiful. It allows you to have beautifully shaped eyebrows or fill in brows that have gotten thin for what ever the reason or maybe you have no brows at all, well now you can!
*The eyeliner helps to emphasize your eyes, you can look natural or more dramatic, it's up to you. Best of all you don't have to worry about your eyeliner coming off and adding more, especially when your eyes water or you cry or glisten.
*Lip liner or full lips means you don't have to wear lip stick any more and worry about it feathering out or having to always put it on because you will already have your lip color on.
*With permanent make up you will be surprised with how much time you save each and every day by not having to put on your make up.
Part 2 of Permanent Cosmetics
** Nipple-areola micropigmentation procedures can be performed post-operatively after the skin grafts are completely healed, usually within a period of three to six months. Additional pigmentation may be required several weeks later to blend and better match the skin tone (matching skin tones is usually easier with bilateral micropigmentation procedures and results in a more uniform color match.) Micropigmenting the reconstructed nipple areola complex allows the use of skin grafts from more desirable donor sites. The skin coloring of the donor sites can be several shades different from the client’s original nipple-areola complex. For many clients, micropigmenting the nipple-areola complex provides the finishing touches to her reconstruction.
****You do not have to have any type of problem with you breast to have your areola enhanced with any color. If you just want to liven up your love life or make your self feel better when you look into the mirror, color enhancement is another way to go. After a woman has a baby or two and she starts getting older her areola also starts to look darker, now you can do something about that with a pretty soft color, more natural or of your choice.
