Update: Mom
May. 30th, 2019 10:09 amMom spent her second night in the hospital. She's going to need two back braces, one for day and one for night. The one they fitted her with yesterday caused her more pain than not having it -- her physical therapist said it was hitting in all the wrong places -- and Sis and Dad can't find a doctor to tell them what's going on. The nurses were friendly, but vague on things like how long she might need to stay there.
This is definitely a "thank heaven for Medicare situation." It's also a "thank heaven for VA." As the spouse of a military man who qualifies, she apparently gets a little bit of assistance from them, too.
Since they're planning a major move -- to Savannah, GA for Sis' new job -- I may be needed. If it's after July 1, I may get paid family/medical leave through the District. It's still a little confusing as to whether that's just when the PFML department at my agency starts collecting the tax from employers or whether payments will also start on that date.
Driving across country, in the summer, with two dogs is not my ideal summer vacation, but they could also need me to look after Mom while the move is going on (possibly sitting on her to make certain she doesn't try to help by lifting a sofa on her own). Los Angeles or Savannah in the summer is my idea of hell, but family has to come first.
