the move begins
I decided yesterday that my father needed to move sooner than later. He was spinning out of control. Including calling me to tell me he left church early because he felt weak.
So I have lined up my cousins and we are packing next weekend. I need to call the movers tomorrow and get at day.
I talked to the social worker at the nursing home and they think they can keep my mother long enough until I can move them and get the apt set up.
I am so glad I am feeling better and have help.
It is a gamble given their age and health/mental status. Five years ago woudl have been perfect but there is no looking back.
I give them credit for never giving in, wanting to live no matter what. Me ... I don't think I woudl have the pluck to keep going after all these setbacks.
Unless America gets more socialize there will be no way I can afford retirement or healthcare at their age.
This generation is truly the last hurrah, I do believe that.
And so it goes.
