Hi everyone. I feel I need to extend and explanation for the cancellation, since many of you set aside the time to attend. Not quite 2 months ago, my dad, who is 95, fell in the house and broke his hip. He did a stint in the hospital and then for the past three weeks, has been rehabilitating in a nursing home. This coming Friday he'll be sent home after a month of rehab, as the doctors feel his progress has reached a limit. At this point, he's not much better, though the pain has mostly subsided.
My folks house is multi-level and not really the best place for him, but as of now there's no other alternative. So this week I'll be busy making the house as user friendly as I can for him. My mom is 85 and really cannot assist him in his everyday needs.
We all try to prepare for these eventualities, but sometimes it's difficult for the aging to let go of their independence and accept that they need special care. It may be time for my folks to consider selling their home, but for now, I'll be interviewing for someone to take care of them on a full time basis. If anyone knows of someone or a source for these services, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I'm as disappointed as anyone, that the visit to my place to view the system needed to be postponed and certainly want to reschedule it for a later date this year. I hope this didn't inconvenience anyone because of special arrangements they needed to make in order to attend.
