    I just found this site and joined after 10 minutes

    I accidently came across this site and almost immediately joined. I don't join alot of sites but this one is just so informative and useful I had to join before I forgot where I found it, lol. As soon as I have the time, I'm going to be reading EVERYTHING.

    I'm 56 years old and I have the luxury of taking care of my 86 year old mother who is under Hospice care which has given her more time to stay with me for which I am so grateful.

    I have a shopping blog along with an Ebay store which allows me to make enough to get by since I can't work a "9-5" job so I'm also thankful for that.

    I am really impressed with this site; it just has so much to offer! From what little I've read here on the boards you all seem to be a great bunch of people that I hope to get to know in the future.

    Hi - welcome!  I so admire the loving way you speak of your mother.  I lost my mother a little over three years ago and I miss her every day.

     Welcome Peggy.  It's good that you joined us.

    Two and half years ago my Dh and I and his family had the care of his dad due to terminal lung cancer. We never could have done it without the help of hospice. They are a godsend.  I wish you the best in the care of your mother.  Edey

    Re: I just found this site and joined after 10 minutes

    Thanks everyone for the nice welcome and kind words; very much appreciated. I've never really been one to participate in forums but for some reason, this whole site just seems so different than the other ones and I mean that in the best of ways.

    My mom has been on Hospice for a year now which is almost unheard of. The doctors told me 3 years ago she would only last 6 months. Here she still is and still stumps the doctors. This little Brooklyn Italian has more faith and guts than anyone I know. She had come along way when we first started with Hospice but since January, her health is getting worse in the sense she is getting weaker and shes just plain tired. She has COPD along with other problems but since she lost 2 sons from cancer in the past three years, it really took a toll on her.

    I don't know how much longer I'll be blessed to have her with me but I Thank God each and every day for what he has given me. It is a true gift that very few get to receive.

    I will then say thank you again and good night, :)

    Hang in there and keep your strength up. It'll get rough in the next few weeks or months so take all the help that you can from the hospice, including the respite sessions, if they offer those. Edey
