The definitive, eccentric journal of an unlikely caregiver, continued.
Apologia for these journals:
They are not about taking care of a relative with moderate to severe Alzheimer's/senile dementia.
For an explanation of what these journals are about, click the link above.
For internet sources that are about caring for relatives with moderate to severe
Alzheimer's/senile dementia, click through the Honorable Alzheimer's Blogs in my

It's Ramp Building Day...
...I'm not hyperventilating and I'm finding myself with a few moments before I need to leave a note for MPNP and hit the road.
Miscellaneous things to do today:
- Pick up screening and spline at the hardware store and see if I can't securely screen a couple of critical windows today. I've done it before...should be able to do it again.
- Call Social Services regarding a pick-up.
- Check with Hospice about the hemi-chair build out to see if I should give them measurements or call our Medical Supply Company directly; also, ask if hemi-chairs come with foot rests. If not, change our order to fit Mom and our home needs.
- See if I can't get a little cleaning done. Or not.
- Measure Mom's bed at the facility.
- Hammer down some loose nails on the platform outside the back Arcadia Door.
Later.
