It sounds like your brother is the best one to be in this role right now, but also as if the decision could become quite evident. I would assume there is some social worker either involved now or before decisions are made for discharge?

Also, good luck with the candy and congratulations on 1/4 of your last work year completed!

At our age, it seems like most roads lead to PT. I like it in a weird way. Most Therapists are very positive, encouraging people, and I like being given assignments and earning a grade of A. The good girl behavior is hard to extinguish in some settings. In this case , it's beneficial.

Speaking of good girl behavior, THERE'S HALLOWEEN CANDY IN THE HOUSE!! I did partake, but it could have been much worse. I bought some for school: for a club I advise tomorrow, and to give to my classes on Thursday. DH also bought for trick or treaters AND for me to bring to school. (I didn't know he was buying it) That's a lot of candy folks. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

The visit with my parents was good. My Dad is still quite weak. It was a bad fall, and his back still hurts. His GI problems seem to have settled down, so now maybe when he doesn't have diarrhea for days on end, he can regain some strength. He looks and moves much differently than he did about 3 weeks ago. My brother is right, they cannot make it alone right now. I think he's waiting to see if my Dad is going to get stronger. Clearly, if they can't live alone something more permanent needs to happen. Maybe they can stay in their home longer if they agree to some home health care. They are very against that, as they don't like "strangers" in the house. It's unfair, and again, I'm not setting myself on fire. My brother will have to decide how far he is willing to do this. He has never been someone you can make do anything, I have always been more dutiful, so I have to believe he is okay with this role for now.

Friday is the end of quarter 1. 3 more quarters to go!

82 here in the Twin Cities! Enjoyed the warmth Monday and Tuesday, cool down for u****s tomorrow.

Greetings all

Another great fall day. Parents out with toddlers looking at leaves.

DH now has the cold. He got some cough syrup and stuff. I finally got ahold of doctor office but I don't know if they will prescribe codeine if I don't go in for a visit. I would do that but it's aways away and they are always slammed. Oh well.

So I actually don't feel too horrible and decided to make my grocery run for Halloween. Most of what we will eat is from the deli that I will pick up day of but this is for pickles and olives and bread and such.

Still trying to shovel out the house. Lots to be moved around and I at least cleared a few surfaces.

Yep, home cooking is all good. I made the chili last night and now we will have it for a couple of days. Need to make some fridge room for the white wine and other stuff.

Home maintenance never ends, does it? The house across the street is getting new siding. There is constant home improvement going on over there which is why I call it the Winchester Mystery House.

Having a cold is one way to diet. I did not finish my eggs today so Poppy scored.

DH is very intrigued by this weird show Kaos. I am not into it that much but we shall see. I think I figured out its message and now it's just ho hum.

Not much going on. Cheers
