LVT, thank you for sharing that poem.
Janice - I know you are hurting and I wish I could help. All you can do is your best - the choices in front of you are not easy or pretty.
WIP I hope you survived another day of Mom. It doesn't sound like the situation is going to get better - hope I'm wrong.
Well, Dad is home. He sounds exhausted so I hope the "trial run" yesterday and big day today don't tip his balance in some bad way. Sometimes I'm just
at these facilities and doctors. Dad has been sitting in that nursing home about 2 blocks away from the hospital and outpatient facilities for THREE WEEKS. His primary care doctor NEVER checked on him in person - NOT ONCE. Now he went home (miles away out in the country) and what does the doctor do?? NOW he schedules all kinds of tests and procedures and appointments for the next three days. WHAT THE F*%^%!!!!! All my Dad wants to do is just enjoy being home and get some rest. Geez. I have a sad feeling this situation isn't going to be improving much either. With Diabetes it's an up and down thing with the trend line going down. I hope my mother doesn't run herself into the ground.
Mary I will be thinking of you too - I hope you get some nice relaxation in before you leave on Thursday. Since you are bringing mystery books along - please let us know if there are some good recommendations. Sounds like a great way to sort of loose yourself during your 'off' time.
Take care everyone. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a magic want that could make this all go away.
