So I've been busy elsewhere.  In the kitchen.

I have, too, DR Singdaw, and we have Christmas cookies to decorate tomorrow.

Wow.  Glad they got that sorted, DR Ginny.

DR Ginny you may not have been thrilled with the paramedics that "helped" Richard.  At least they entered your home, unlike these guys who insisted the patient be pushed out of the care facility to them.

Tuesday evening greetings!  Busy day here, starting at 8:30am with the guy who reconfigured some basement piping to stop the sump pump from spewing water into our new landscaping and making a mess on the patio.

I didn't realize it was that bad.  I hope the fix works.

In addition to work, I had to find someone who could take Mom to her doctor's appointment tomorrow. And I had to get her to understand that it was all arranged, her friends were not going to do it, and she really didn't have a say in the matter.

DR Jane - my last session was the week after Thanksgiving. I feel it made an extraordinary improvement in my speaking voice.

My singing voice marginally improved, but is nowhere near back to 100%.

I though maybe therapy would continue since your singing voice only marginally improved.  I am sorry about that.  Do you continue to do exercises every day?

That is not good.  Are you taking anything for it?  Vibes it goes away.

Excellent.  Do they have people at the retirement home who do this?

You're in a tough position, DR John G.  It has to be done, but that doesn't make it any easier.   {{{hugs}}}

No. If they did, it goes from assisted living to nursing home. She would have to move.

DR John G,  I’m sorry you and your mom are going through all this.  It’s difficult any time, but worse at the holidays.  And long distance.  Vibes and prayers for you both.

How did you find someone to escort her?

I hope your mother is very pleased with who you find.  I expect there will be follow-up visits.
