Monday Roll Call
Morning IL. Well, yesterday afternoon I spoke with the discharge nurse about Davey Pooh's going home. It will be this late afternoon or early evening. This floor has the patient go 2 rounds of PT and then occupational therapy the day of discharge in addition to the doctor seeing him. Oh Joy! Now my work begins. It has been arranged for him to be brought home by Care Car or ambulance. They charge $33 and then $3 a mile. It is well worth it especially with the snow that is expected to start this early afternoon. I just checked the radar and the snow is already close to Rockford. I came into work at 4:30 so I can leave at 1PM.

Good Morning,
You are probaly smart having a Care Car bringing Dave home. Better safe then sorry.
We hada very lazy weekend. I didn't leave the house on Saturday, then yesterday went and got a loaf of bread. Other then tha****ched TV and exercised.
If the weather turns as nasty as they are saying, I probably won't be working Wed. I refuse to drive on country highways, when the wind gets bad.
Havea great Monday. Stay safe, and warm.
Huggers,
LISA

You are right about the driving in the country - too dangerous.
I saw your doc going up the elevator when I was leaving the hospital on Saturday night. Was going to say something to him but I was too tired. He knows who I am because I have spoken several times at a seminar he would talk at. Just did not have the energy to say anything.

Hello everyone
I just now (about 5 minutes ago) got some really bad news. My dad died last night. The really bad thing is because of the horrible relationship between my me and my sister I will not be able to go to the funeral. It's a very long story, there is a big rift in the family. If you remember my sister's daughter was molested by her boyfriend, and he is in prison now. Well my sister is back together with him and I just can't justify this in my mind. So I haven't talked to my sister since September. I have had a strained relationship with my dad (who is really my step-dad because of all this). My neice called me to tell me the bad news and my sister was going COMPLETELY nuts in the background. So nuts that my daughter is worried about my safety...Yes my sister is just that crazy. So I don't know any details or where the funeral is...and there is no way I will show up at the funeral and have my sister make a scene at the funeral. I have more respect than that. Not to mention I was thinking I can pay my respects I other ways. I can donate to the Lung association or something like that. I know this is a lot but my family is soooo messed up and I have always tried to distance myself from them for my and my daughter's own good. I will be honest I am a little worried that someone will come over and cause some trouble.
What a terrible Monday.

Crystal, so sorry that you have to go through this trying time. I do remember you writing about your sister in the past and that whole messy situation. I had a nasty situation when my second oldest sister died, her current husband's children from a previous marriage reaked havoc for my neices and nephews. It hurt me to see them hurting. Some people only think of themselves.

Crystal, Even with the riff, I am sorry for you. But, with the ways things are between your sister and you, Iwill agree. The bes thing you can do is stay away. Why do you think someone will cause trouble for you? Was your sister yelling at you in the background.
Your neice did the right thing in calling you, whatever your sister thinks.

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. I know you worried a lot about him. I think you are making a wise decision to not pursue going to the funeral even though that decision is surely painful for you. It is too bad that we cannot pick our family.
I have to agree with you on the stance that you have taken for the sake of your niece. I never can understand how a woman can choose her spouse/boyfriend over her child. That situation has never been one in which I have been able to try to wrap my head around. To me it is clear cut that your child would come first.
Think about your dad and the good times you had. Take some time for reflection and processing of your feelings for him. That is the best way to handle this situation.
Take care of yourself and be careful. If need be, let the police know to check on you or get a restraining order if it goes that far. I hope not for your sake, but I dont want to see you harmed. Hang in there.

Hello all,
Crystal, sorry to hear about the loss of your father AND the mess between you and your sister. I will pray that all will be well for you.
Regarding the upcoming weather, my kids schools have already announced early dismissal for tomorrow. Here in Gurnee we are predicted to get 10.7 inches of snow. Now, how to they, the meteorologist, figure out the point inches. It will sure be interesting at school tomorrow for me. I work for SEDOL (Special Education District of Lake Co) and we service all the districts of Lake Co. I wonder what schools will close early, which parents will even send their kids in etc. I tell you if I had a medically fragile child I might just keep him/her home. If we get this storm who knows how long the bus ride home will be.
I went to Jewel to get some groceries and lucky for me the store was not that busy. Many of my Facebook friends were commenting on how busy Walmart and other stores were earlier this evening.
Take care all
Debbie
