ohfercryinoutloud...nobody told me we were movin'...where's muh room?

In other news...turns out muh Monday experience was a bit more of a mini-drama than I knew. I was really out of it, but I knew my neighbor picked me up instead of my brother-in-law. Apparently after I was already under wife found out they didn't want me alone at all and asked b-i-l to pick me up a little later. He completely bailed because he had to be somewhere at 3:00 p.m. (I was ready to go at 1:00). Anyway, neighbor stepped in and brought me home. B-i-l hasn't even acknowledged it, even though wife spent 30 minutes of her class time arranging for back up and almost had to cancel a class...

And thus, our continued frustration in caring for Nana. Five siblings and assorted spouses. We're the only dependable ones...and that's a little scary.

Wife will be talking to the rehab center today. SWorker said that they can only keep her until they've taken her as far as they can with therapy. I'm thinkin' if she can't get out of bed by herself they ain't takin' her far enough...we'll see.

And, while I'm mostly better, I'm still waking up 1-2 times a night with the cough. Wife hasn't quite got the hint that saying "drink some hot tea" isn't helpful when I can't breathe...

Oddly though, I'm in decent spirts today...didn't see all of the debate but loved it when Cheney said "the first time I've met you was on this stage tonite." Scuse the graphical nature of the comment, but as a friend of mine used to say, Edwards is "slicker than snot on a doorknob..."

Ewwww!

Sorry 'bout the continuing mini-dramas. The siblings really need to grow up, already! Geesh...

Morning! Most people who don't remember how they got home are half your age.

Corin - sounds the BIL has a prob stepping up to the plate. Glad it worked out it in the end.

re; the rehab - seems to me when a person can't get out of bed unassisted they ain't rehabbed yet. Good luck in dealing with SW et al.
