It's the oozing that gets to me.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
He deserves viscous mockery. Mock away. Viscously.

He said "You have plenty of slime." And I thought "I have never been drier," but I didn't explain any further...the hell with it.

Took a long lunch today to meet with a coordinator from a home health care service. I really liked her, liked what she had to say, liked her attitude. Thankfully, Mom liked her as well, and seemed like she was in a more positive headspace after the meeting. I have long lunches scheduled again for Wednesday & Thursday for the same purpose (because I was given the names of three different agencies by the insurance company), but if I had to choose right this minute, I'd be happy with this one. Mom's scheduled to be discharged on Friday. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for the first 20 days of care before the insurance kicks in (everybody cross your fingers that one of the ideas I have works out before Plan C or D - credit card - becomes the answer to that question).

Our wings are not tired.
It is good to hear that the meeting with the home health people went well. I'm sorry you have to go through this roller coaster. Having good help will be essential.

That's all good news, Epic. As for the monies, get yourself named your mother's power of attorney so you can draw money from her bank accounts to pay for all of it. It's a simple form to fill out, I downloaded it and did it myself when my sister was ill. Then you need to get it notarized too.

Epic, much love and hugs to you and your mother. I'm glad to hear that you're getting good advice and finding the support you need. Being a caretaker of that magnitude is damn hard work.
I could use a little advice from those who know about disability. My son has been on disability since he was 18 (he's now 34). He was recently taken off, because they said he didn't work enough hours over the past 5 years to continue to qualify. If he's permanently disabled, how does that work? It's not making a lot of sense to me. And can it vary from state to state?

Actually, I already have Mom's power of attorney, and have access to her accounts. The problem is that she doesn't have ANY money. Her current savings would pay for about 3 days of her care. My current savings would cover maybe 1 week. She's living on just Social Security now (her 401K ran out 2 months ago, because the gods of good timing have turned their faces from me), so it's up to me to find the money, not just to move it around.
