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

The Ancient One is home...
...and all is, again, right with our household. The cats are relaxed. The Mom is relaxed. I'm relaxed. It took awhile for all of us to make it here, but we're here and the problems encountered on our way seem insignificant compared to the composure in which we're now embraced.
I'm bushed and am heading for bed shortly, but wanted to tick off a few reminders to myself to write about:
- Mom's first significant movement at home;
- the lengthy Hospice interview today;
- Mom's first nap at home;
- Mom's first dinner at home, which was nothing like what we imagined it would be but was perfect, considering;
- the resolution to the equipment problems we're having, which is ongoing.
...later.

Yay! Welcome home, Mom and Gail! I'm sure the kitties will be MUCH happier now!
I just had the most amazing thing happen-- went out to do some weeding and found that the lawn is just full of ripe wild strawberries! Wish I could send you both a bowl.
