THINGS are happening sometimes here at lightning speed, at other times at a snails
pace. Hard to tell what will go on from one day to the next. Have had little on line time to catch up with everyone. This I truly miss a whole lot. I miss all my blogging family.
Mom's condition has deteriorated lately and we are continuing to speak to counselors and doctors,. therapists and Hospice workers. The whole process is mind boggling. What will be paid for and what isn't covered is sometimes shocking. I have years of experience under my belt with elderly care and their concerns and tribulations. I sure am glad now, because it is really coming in handy.I would hate to be traveling down this road without some prior knowledge of how things work. The things that happen daily could be written in a book...in fact... I have been documenting Mom's whole
journey from the beginning. No wonder I completely wore out one computer and one camera. They sure did the job admirably. Above is the long hallway to the end of the building. Many times I have found mom rolling down that hallway to look for deer out the doorway windows. The handrails on either side of the hall help the patients by them reaching and pulling themselves along. Probably the one of the most germy places in the building as they rarely are cleaned. The floors and walls and bathrooms etc are always done but the railings not. I avoid them like the plague.
Well just wanted to catch you all up on what is going on.. lack of time, energy or wifi at home make it extremely hard to get computer time. January is grinding down and
February is at hand..Spring can't come soon enough for me.

Carol, my heart goes out to you and your mother. You are always in my thoughts and constantly in my prayers. Stay strong as I know you will. Hugs for you and your mom.
Love,
Beth
Thinking of you. Hang in there and take care.
Hugs
You're right about the cost of some of this stuff being shocking! When my mom was in the hospital last month before she passed away, we were told that if she were to go to a nursing home it would cost 8,000.00 a month and would not be covered by any insurance(Medicaid) until all her assets were depleted. That was about the last thing we needed to hear on top of all that we were already going through. I feel sorry for anyone in this kind of position.
I know you have lots of tough decisions to make, but you'll do the right thing. Listen to your heart.
As Beth said, so do I also. You are always in my thoughts and my prayers. ♥
