Sorry to hear about your visit, DR Ginny.


Is your mother in a graduated care facility - that is, will there be more support for her there, should that become necessary?

The weather report for the end of the week is dreadful: tropical storm Joaquin may land, and even if it does not, rain is predicted all day Friday. I hope I can get to Ohio!

DR Ginny, for all you know, your mother's friend has been to see her. Perhaps she's waiting for her? When my mother was on her last days, she was talking to her mother, father, and sisters.

Richard's father did the same thing and I wondered about it after I saw Mom today.


My grandmother did the same.

Thanks, DR Singdaw.

Yes, she's in assisted living, which has 5 levels of care.  I just last week received notification that she'd been reassessed up to the next level of care, which prompted me to schedule a conference with the social worker and nursing supervisor for next week.  Today explained a lot...

Well, I must be going.  Tonight, we're going to have a special guest in the audience.  A friend who was in a TAO show several years ago, and whom most of us know, had a heart transplant a couple of months ago and he's coming tonight since he can't be around a lot of people, yet.  I would assume that only he and his wife will be coming, but maybe others in their family.  I know that they have a couple of adult kids.  Anyway, we're getting close to opening night!

Until later. ;D

Watching the Glen Campbell documentary, I'll Be Me, about his tour after being diagnosed with dementia. Really powerful stuff.
