New set of problems

It's been a busy week.
After waiting an hour in the room, leaving work early and arguing when the eye doctor wanted to leave, I finally got Craig's eyes examined. Took forever, no co-operation, but finally, Doc says he really only needs reading glasses, but we get Bi focals ordered so he can wear them all the time
without killing himself trying to walk. Doc says his eyes lok healthy, so his focusing problems must be from the AD.

Then find out the MA doesn't pay for the glasses.Wonder where I'm going to come up with this money......

Went again Friday and foud Craig sitting on an unused porta potty at the nurses station.After 15 minutes of coaxing, I finally got him up and down to his room, where he promptly flopped into a wheelchair. Got him to drink a whole quart of gatorade, as the nursing staff called to inform me he was dehydrating. Brought snack packs of m&m's which he really liked. Then the hospital intake person showed up with Craig's new roommate.

Tried vainly to get him up and out of the way so they vould get the wheelchair past. I finally grabbed the chair and pulled it and him across the room. THEN he gets up.......


Now he's off and running, dinner trays are coming, so I make my exit.

At home, my cell rings, which hardly ever happens, and for a minute, I am scared....

It's Amy from Cleveland.It seems that only people I haven't seen in years, and people I've never met are still concerned about me and what is going on with Craig.

By the way, Hi, Mark! Amy says you read my blog too. Thanks for caring!

And please keep reading Lisa's blog too.It is a good view on the opposite side of the fence.

In the mail I find the SSA letter stating Craig has been approved for Disability. At first I am thrilled, then the tax and medicaid implications start to roll thru my head and I am spastic.
I will need an attorney to figure it all out I'm sure.

Again, wonder where that money's going to come from.

Then the call comes from the nursing home. We found your husband on the floor during dinner.
They are not sure if he fell, layed down or had another seizure, so he is on watch for the next 3 days. They say he has no injuries, and that after a short while he ate, took another walk and went to bed.

I also noticed that the package I have been waiting for delivery on is taking an excessive amount of time to arrive, so I go onto the website, find out there is a USPS tracking link and click.

According to the tracking info, I received the package a week ago, while all 3 of us were home, and we had no mail that day. Send an e mail to customer service asking about a replacement package. I can't afford to lose a package with 150 dollars worth of goods in it to some crooked
postal worker. We'll see what the company has to say.

Looks like we're heading for another of my famous downhill slides. They keep telling me God only gives you what you can handle.

I think God has overestimated me sometimes......
