contours provocations
journal - 2005-0608 - wed 2045 BLANK When last I wrote, I was planning on moving mother back home from the nursing facility. The move occurred. But she had to return to the hospital. Then back home. Then back to the hospital. And last Friday, she was moved to another nursing facility. I have absolutely no idea if this was/is the right decision or not. The home seems cramped and slightly dowdy. However, if the degree of care is good, it may not matter. It is certainly a change from the first facility, which was airy and more roomy. But mother did not want to return there. However, she may now realize that was a mistake. Mother appears to be more aware, but I can't be certain. I would love for her to be able to be back home. But I'm certain she would need custodial care. Which is far more expensive than the nursing home. Not to sound too selfish, but this has taken a toll on my physical and emotional well-being. Even on a good day, I feel drained. Enough. I'll whine again another day. PAX!
