An update on my trials and tribulations

[Medusa]

Progress is right. You're taking care of your mom and yourself and you're "taking care of business", so to speak, at the same time. You owe yourself a big "Whew!" when it's all finished. You're doing a great job.

SAS, I'm so glad to hear that things are going well for you. I'm sure that you won't have any problems finding a new job but hopefully it'll be one that you enjoy. Good luck.

Sallyanne, I never knew what your specific job was, but I sure hope they paid you alot for putting up with that mess. Geez.

Best of luck to you. You are going to be just fine and your mom is too. I'm sending you my best wishes.

To the Campers at Camp Vermont,

Please go give your mommy a kiss and some nose rubbies at least 5 times a day. While the worst is behind, she still needs your love and reassurance - and she can get it from you, but also through her PT Family through your cute little bodies, OK??

Thank you, sweet fuzzies.

Love, Kelly & Kits

Dearest SallyAnne,

Things are really shaping up for you and I'm so glad! (((((((((SAS))))))))) I'm sure your mom is going to love her new place. The first time you go for a visit, she's going to be excited about her own new digs and be happy to get to show you, her daughter and favorite visitor. Make sure and fill us in on her furry co-resident, the live-in cat.

I'm so happy that the worst is behind you. I know you don't want to stay, but its nice to be and feel wanted, right? The next hurdle wont be a hurdle at all, you're going to find the best job, and it'll be perfect for you.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

Hugs & Love,
Kelly and the furballs

You are so......."on the right track"............I couldn't be happier for you.

Gosh the next week will be so hard, not just popping over to "check in" - I don;t know that I could have waited that long when we moved Aunt Bertha into the nursing home, but as we have noted, her memory problems were different than your mom's are. But I bet your mom will settle right in. My tip for visiting loved ones in a nursing home-type place: bring fresh flowers. Staff are more likely to visit the room to enjoy them with her, and she'll love the company!

{{{{hugs}}}} Glad to hear you are feeling better! I am sure you will need to decompress for a while.

Get a Greyhound North America pass and take off for a month!

Progress is right! There still will be hurdles but none that will impede your determination. The good life lies ahead somewhere and by golly, girl, you are going to find it. That call from the lawyer imploring you to stay was priceless. I truly would have been disappointed had that one not come in. However, I agree, that it is probably much too late to teach these old dogs new tricks - like treating people with decency and respect.

Now the next phase will be seeing if the new person is able to tolerate the craziness long enough for you to get out the door. I have absolutely no worries that you will find a great job with people who will appreciate your skills and dedication. Cheers and celebrate taking control.

Much love to your mom. That one is still going to be a difficult journey, but the main thing is that she is safe and well cared for. You've done good.
