Julie, since you're closer, maybe you could help arrange for home health care and an occasional cleaning service instead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know all the deets of why my dad has to go down every time, other than her medicare running out if the hospital decides to keep her longer when they have no idea why she's there or have no means to aid her. Even getting her into a rehab for her tailbone will take time.
I will note that my understanding is that Medicare rehab benefits are better if you go to rehab straight from the hospital. So if it's at all feasible (and make sure this is true?), try to line up the rehab to be ready to admit her after she's called the ambulance....

In moving news, the lady at the bookstore today said they can't give me any boxes, which, WTF, but I got four from a shoe store, and have packed one of them. Progress!

My dad's a special kind of jerk. He's an absent-minded professor who only remembers to send his mom's flowers because of my mom nagging him. He had blithely left Long Island at the appointed time after learning that his brother had transfered 40,000 out of their mom's bank account and didn't think another thing of it. He's oblivious and has no agenda, unless it's his church, in which he forsakes everything, including family. But he isn't a man with an agenda or an angle. He may guilt me into believing a situation is my fault, but it's not his modus operandi to maneuver me into offering my assistance. He knows I hate his mother, he knows why. He chooses to forget that and ignore that it's even an issue. Which also means never bringing up my helping him, lest that come to light and having to be acknowledged.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sorry, Typo!
Move along, future readers of the thread. There was nothing to see.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is it Dusmesh on Ludlow, Steph & flea? That would totally work for me, and sounds great. Shall we say 11:30 or so?
That's the place! And 11:30 works for me (and I assume Tim). Yay!
