At about 5:30 last evening I received a call from a Health Service Agency and the evaluator wanted to come by and talk to mother. I told her mother did not talk on the phone because of her hearing and how could I help. She would like to come by because she was only a few miles away.
Because of the time of day and the kind of day it had been............I said Mother went to bed between 6 and 7 and she would just have to take us as we were. She was very gracious and came by and stayed about an hour and a half. She talked only to mother asking questions, checking her wound on her leg, etc.
This was the agency that was supposed to give Jack and I time together, opportunity to go shopping or take care of medical visits for Jack or myself. So far they have said Mother is teachable and they would start a risk awareness program with her, send a aide to help her bathe, shampoo her hair, give her a massage, and work on her grooming as well as her good health. We will see how this goes.
update later, smiles!
