gets worse and worse

YEA!!!!!

M1

As the crisis recedes, my grief takes over.  Oh god how I miss her.  How lucky were we.  I have to carry on for her, in honor of her, surrounded by her in this lovely home and farm that she's responsible for.  Defining relationship of my life, bar none.  What a gift from her to have made me a better person.  And I know she felt the same.

Blessings to all of my friends who have helped me through this.  I can't thank you enough.  I hope I can return the favor.

For all the naysayers and those who have made this more difficult than it should have been, she would tell them all to go to *ell and make them look forward to the trip.  Quite the skill.

M1 I am so glad to hear things are going better for you and your wife. Sorry about your cat. I am on the other side of Nashville 70 miles east.

Great to read that you’re moving away from crisis mode, even as it creates room for grief.  

You have an enormous adjustment you’re facing.  We are here for you as you face new challenges.

All you wonderful folks. Made a commitment to the place I saw this morning, feels like a good fit. Small (only 23 beds) but have skilled nursing and hospice on site. Have art and -unexpectedly-a putting green, which she will love. Fingers crossed that it works out. They weren’t at all intimidated by the hospital events, or the meds, and said we were the third family that had had a terrible experience at this hospital-makes me all the more glad I reported it. Now we’re on to the moving details and selling it as rehab to her. Going up for visitation now.

So very glad things are finally starting to work out right for you both. Art and putting greens! Sounds like two things she will like. Praying this works out. Reminds me of “when one door closes another opens “.

M1 I am so glad things are looking up for you.

This is wonderful news. Hoping for a good reception when you see her.

M; I am delighted for you in finding a setting in which you feel reasonably comfortable.  From what you have shared, it sounds as though it may be a good fit.  Being that it is smaller, your Partner will not get "lost" in scores of other residents.

You are doing a truly wonderful job of it all; especially in light of the terribly difficult circumstances and have certainly "taken care of business," leading to a much better quality of life for your LO under the circumstances.  Well done!

M1, that's the best news we've had for some time. Good for both of you!

M1, I am so glad and relieved to hear this!  You and your dear one have been in my prayers.  Praying the move goes smoothly and she will soon be settled in.  You have done a remarkable job of handling all this.  Sending hugs.

M1,

Things are looking way better for you and this is great. I am so sorry for all the awful experiences you have suffered, but this new place sounds like it is small enough to give your feisty partner the tlc she deserves. Being artistic myself, I would love a place that has an art area, I used to spend many hours drawing and painting. I also did a course in drawing medical things like photographing operations, illustrating medical stuff etc. loved it, so imagine your partner will love it as well. Here’s hoping everything goes smoothly from now on.
