Friday, November 6, 2009

I just spoke with Mom (11:00 a.m.). Dad was out of bed and sitting in a chair and they were going to be starting dialysis soon. Apparently, once they can get him up and around a bit (whatever that means), he is going to be moved to a long term care facility....new fangled term for nursing home. I hate the thoughts of Dad in one of those places, but maybe they will send him to the new one that was just built and it won't be so bad....yes, there goes my pessimistic attitude again. As long as the facility they transfer him to has a good nursing staff and will take care of Dad's needs, that is the important thing. Mom didn't know when that would be happening. She is just trying to take things a day at a time, but I can tell it is really wearing on her just from the tone of her voice. She sounds very, very tired and frustrated. She has been taking some time to do things she enjoys, like bowling on Tuesday afternoons. That's a very good thing.
