    Well, the social worker still has not called my mom back to advise of what, if any, actual plan they have for this. It's my Mom's 71st birthday today, hopefully they don't drop anything on her today.

    Update - happens next week

    My dad will be brought home on Jan 31 around noonish by a driver and an occupational therapist. The therapist will stay for a while, settle in my dad and explain things to my mom. On February 2nd around noonish again they will both be back to pick him up and take him back to the hospital. Apparently he does not understand why he can't just go home and stay home. My mom's ok with this "test" as it has to be done, no way around it. I don't like it one bit and I've coached her to make all preparations to keep herself safe and alive thru this. Not to say he will do anything but if you're over prepared for nothing then ok, but if you're under prepared then you've got big trouble. I've told her that if he starts getting the least little bit out of line she needs to call immediately, no hesitation, and have them retrieve him sooner. Take no chances!! Damn, I hope she's strong enough to get thru this.

    Praying for you, and your mom and dad.

    If each pet we love takes a part of our heart and replaces it with a part of theirs, my heart is a very strange collection of pieces, but I wouldn't have it any other way

    Prayers for you all. I hope that some good will come from this.

    Well all, here goes nothing! My dad should be home with my mom about noon today. I've done all the coaching I can, now it's up to her to stay safe. I pray that she's safe and he is on his best behaviour. I will call her this evening for an update.
