A little of this, and a little of that.

There's so much going on, and I don't have the energy to go into now, but I did get to see my grandmother for the first time since she went into an assisted living facility about a month ago. A lot of you know, I live 2 1/2 hours away from her. She's my late mother's mom, but my dad (who also lives 2 1/2 hrs. away) takes really good care of her. Since my sister was busy today, he drove the 2 1/2 hours to take my grandmother to the doctor, and so I went with him. Afterwards, I finally got to go see my sister, BIL, and niece and nephew. You know how much I've wanted to see those kiddos, and haven't since Christmas. My sister and BIL live about 30/35 minutes away from where my grandmother lives right now. So the trip to see them afterwards was a blessing to have. We did take her by to see her son, my awful uncle, but I'll go into that later. He's back in the hospital, and although the housekeeper who stole from my grandmother's home quit a few days ago, she recently decided she'd still help. Which is hurting our chances of ever getting him into a nursing home. FIVE home health agencies turned him down. They said they are sorry, but someone with his ailments NEEDS to be in a nursing home. And the hospital will let you check yourself out against medical advice as long as someone is willing to take him home, he can go home. And the housekeeper is back, so... But I was glad to see my grandmother, and that's what's important. She spent a lot of time excusing him, and his bad behavior, and that's still sad to hear. My dad's such a good guy. I don't think my grandmother realizes how special he is. I can't even tell you how much he does for her. My mom would be proud of him.
