Today was full of medical visits.   Dick and I were up at a normal time and we got his legs all washed and recovered before Bobbie got here.   His lab appointment was at 10:15AM.  That went very well.  We were home at about 10:30AM.    The three of us had pizza and breadsticks for our lunch.  


At about noon, Randy called.   He and Dolores and Ken were at Pine Haven with Mother.   They had been informed that Pine Haven is not on the network for the AARP Medicare Advantage, so we had to make arrangements to move her again.    I went over to join them to see that everything was done to her benefit.  They were as helpful as they could be and we ended up taking Mother to Meadow View Nursing home on the south side of Sheboygan.   Dolores worked there for many years and lives right down the street.

I felt much better when I walked in the door to get a wheel chair for Mom and tell them that she was here and one of the nurses looked at me and said.   "Welcome."   just like that.   Our first impressions are that she is just where she should be.    Randy and I got the paper work in gear, stayed with her for the nurses first evaluation and for the therapy evaluation.    About the time we were ready to leave, Harrier Carpenter, a friend wheeled herself into the room to greet Mom.   She is a resident and has been there for 6 years and was so glad to visit with Mother.

Now, only time will tell.   She is very weak.   The arm has to heal and then regain strength.  Then we have to see if she is able to function alone before she can go home.   She knows that.  What a brave lady she is.

Keep up the prayers.  Whatever happens, she has to be safe.

Take care of yourselves.

God love you

Mary
