I'm alone all day with my mother. The hospice service has been fantastic. They've made certain that I could go to my doctor's appointment [Yea! Antidepressants!] and someone, whether nurse, CNA, chaplain, or social worker is scheduled to come by every day except Sunday. It helps.

Sis will take the night shift tomorrow night, maybe Saturday night, too. I'm looking forward to my own room for the night(s).

I had two long pieces that I meant to write this week. The first, on Monday, would have been about the evacuation from Vietnam which happened on February 12 and the second would have been yesterday talking about Mom and Dad's first date. But I haven't the bandwidth at the moment.

We found out yesterday that dementia!Aunt doesn't remember having been in Savannah for a week. She didn't remember it the day after they returned home.

I love you all and appreciate your notes and messages. Huge hugs.

Alas, dementia is like that.

Best wishes and I'm glad you're getting so much support from hospice. Having some time Off like that is really helpful.

I'm so glad you're getting respite support! Are you & sis able to do the physical tasks without frustration or hurting yourself?

Have you been given a time frame by the hospice people--weeks? months?

I love you, think about you every day.
