Well, some good news. I found a cafe latte protein shake at Walmart when I went, 30 grams protein and a lot of vitamins and minerals. I didn't use the word "protein". I used the word "coffee shake" and he LOVES it, no bad reactions either.
So I can finally get some protein into him. I said I would love it if he drank a shake a day and he said he could absolutely do it. Awesome.
The cats are all pretty much over the cold/virus they passed around. They are enjoying what has turned out to be a very nice day.
Not so great news: Lumber Liquidators quoted me FIFTEEN HUNDRED IN LABOR for my job. To be clear, it was a 2 stage job, stage one was 200 square feet, the second stage was a touch over 100 square feet. The parts are going to be about $800 - then this? I don't know what they are smoking vinyl plank is an EASY install all you need is a saw. No freaking way.
I did get a quote for $700 which I will probably take they are highly reviewed. That would be in addition to my material cost. And delivery... eek.
I will get some other quotes, though.
Ron peed on the side of the bed, floor again. I called him on it, as nicely as possible "You said the carpet is trashed anyway" he replied sullenly. Not happy about that attitude.
And sales are terrible at work.
I didn't sleep well last night but managed to work this morning. The kratom supplier fixed my order and sent the rest of it out today. I should get it probably Wednesday. Thursday at the latest, they are in "San Antone". It is unclear what exactly was sent but if I get a small sample pack (what I was owed) I will be happy.
We went in this morning, stocked what we could (not much). The only thing of note, a woman walking around like a zombie, very slow and sluggish. She required assistance. "Oh, I'm so sick" she said, breathing in my face "I feel terrible." She couldn't even speak properly.
WHY DON'T THEY STAY HOME? She has been there at least 20 YEARS and has sick leave! Why?! Because she is CHEAP and GREEDY and wanted the double-time pay today. So Ron and I may get sick all so she could get $40 an hour instead of $20.
THANKS A LOT.
Carlos texted me he would come tomorrow which isn't a problem. I will probably have flooring guys out to the house tomorrow anyway, to bid.
Ron still wants to go to the doctor for his prostate so I will encourage him to make an appointment when he finishes in the bathroom. It is a lot easier getting him in and out now. Glad we asked, he was happy to do it. We just need to patch that little hole in the tile.
Well, I'm happy, Ron asked for help going to the bathroom so he wouldn't mess up the floor again. I was happy to oblige. He said he wants to see a doctor but not quite at the point of making an appointment. He is having trouble emptying his bladder so he definitely needs some medication.
I know enough about seniors to know that bladder infections can cause some SEVERE behavior issues.

LOL and you said he doesn't do it on purpose. Now you have proof that yes indeed he does. Now when you have the vinyl plank flooring and pees on it and you say something about it he will then proceed to tell you that you said it is waterproof. He has no respect for you or his (and your) house.
It is like he just took a piss right on your head. What's next will he defecate on the carpet too? What a disrespectful person he is.
His behavior is NOT because of a bladder infection but if you think he has a bladder infection then you need to call and setup an appointment with a doctor. Since a UTI can make a senior citizen unable to function mentally this one is on you.
I don't think he has one but I want to prevent it.
I thought it was pretty damned rude, myself.
But absolutely getting waterproof vinyl for his room. He is not ruining the new floors.
Ron should be paying to have his room painted and new flooring put in. He has money for vodka he has money for this. Especially in light of the fact that he is intentionally pissing on his floor because he is too lazy to pee in the bottles collecting under his bed.
Even vinyl flooring can be ruined by multiple urine stains. Don't fool yourself. You could have fixed the bathroom floor properly instead of using the renovation money to pay to get this room fixed. He won't pay your dad back and is forcing you to do that alone and now he won't even pay to get his room repaired since he is the one who damaged it. Which by the way every time he wheels around on his piss covered carpet and then goes into other areas of the house he is tracking urine ALL throughout the house.
Just when you think things can't get worse this train wreck just keeps on chugging.
Heather would be more upset if the neighbor peed on her side of the yard. But when her husband does it she is OK with it. Don't forget to hand feed him later.
Would vinyl plank flooring allow liquids to leak through? Vinyl plank will allow the urine to seep underneath even if it is properly installed. The only way to avoid this is to use sheet vinyl that has no seams in it. So NO getting waterproof vinyl plank flooring will NOT stop piss man from doing damage to your home.
Yes it totally would. One of my cats ruined an area of vinyl “water proof” flooring.
Heather is mistaken that this flooring is the complete solution. It helps for sure but he isn’t going to be able to piss on it to his hearts content. Urine LEACHES into things especially things like vinyl, concrete. I know first hand.
Of course, it will seep through, not only that but it will stain and change the color of the planks. After a while, it will smell of urine just like the rug. Heather has it in her head that this flooring is some kind of miracle and the answer to her husband pissing anywhere he wants to.
I don't have a lot of choices here, on flooring.
"I don't have a lot of choices here, on flooring." How about you tell your husband to STOP pissing on the floor. Tell him if he continues he will be placed in a skilled nursing facility. Plus the option of sheet laminate was given to you for his room. This will be a better option for his room than the planks and he can pay for it with his money. Not the renovation money. F-ck him.
That's not the point, Heather. We're just trying to warn you not to take for granted that this will be the solution.
You may not have a lot of choices on flooring, but you have lots of choices for getting help for Ron so your life will be better.
Why won't you make Ron pay for new flooring in his bedroom? He is ruining your house by peeing on the floor on purpose.
I was thinking in the shower today. I am going to make him buy a vac and carpet cleaner and then just clean the carpet every day. There is no point in improving the floor if he is just going to keep soiling it.
You need to tell him today that you are not getting new flooring in his room and the reason why. You then need to tell him he will be buying new flooring for his bedroom and let him know the amount it will cost. The carpet needs to be removed because it is saturated in pee and god knows what else. Why should you have to clean his carpet everyday and add to your list of chores because he is urinating on it intentionally? You can't use a carpet cleaner on it daily that is just too much water to be putting on the carpet like that.
Now the only question is will you do this? Maybe you should just put puppy pads all around the front of his bed on the floor, take a picture and tell him you are going to post it to facebook and let everyone in your family know the reason why you had to do this.
Have you stopped to think instead of just an enlarged prostate it could be prostate cancer? But, you won't know until he sees a doctor.
Heather is a doctor! She knows best.
