Visited with my husband. Expected him to be dressed and in a wheelchair for Christmas; but he was sleeping when we got there. He was very lucid and only made one comment that was delusional. He was not happy that I only spent 2...

I called the facility yesterday and spoke with the social worker. She forgot to ask about the cost of physical therapy. She did fill me in on my husband's urologist appointment. On Monday they are going to take out the catheter...

I was able to reach my husband yesterday. The social worker said that my husband's phone was found by the laundry company; and it was not salvageable. My husband fortunately did not ask about coming home. I told him that he was...

Well, yesterday I put on my big girl panties, cried a little and made the gut wrenching decision to have my husband transferred to long-term care. He will have no physical therapy and will just lie there until the day he dies. I...

Before any home health aides can be scheduled, my husband must go to his primary care provider and be examined. That would mean somehow managing to get him down 3 steps, into the car, out of the car, into a wheelchair, etc. I...
