We saw the CELA
We got all the paperwork done, now to a place. The one I was interested in has covid ,Sign was on the door Covid postive We left. Tomorrow I start looking and hoping to find a opening for my wife. Have a idea on the spend down but will find out after she is placed.
Also picked up UTI meds now if she will drink it, it was in powder form I mixed it with pepsi.
The time away was nice also didn't have to drive. The CELA was very helpful and dear son liked him very much. He said I picked a good one. How the hell that happened I don't know. Dear wife is eating a toasted cheese sandwich another win Hoot

Hi Hoot,
You are accomplishing a great deal, and I know how stressful each thing is. Worrying about DW's happiness and safety, hoping it goes alright with the meds, and that a good spot becomes available - so much other stuff! But that was so good that you didn't have to drive, there was a bright spot. And the sandwich! I am thinking of you, and I pray you have a peaceful night.

The most important part of all of this is to see a CELA before you do anything with finances ,property etc also before you place your loved one. There are a lot of pitfalls that could cost you a whole bunch of money etc later on. Your CELA guides you thru all of this. Hoot
She drank all the medicine, took a while but hopefully it will still work.

So glad she drank all the meds in her Pepsi! Happy for you getting everything taken care of with your lawyer. That’s a very good day for you! Lots accomplished, enjoy the win.

Celebrating your win, Hoot. These CELAs are worth their weight in gold. They really take a lot of burden and worry off our shoulders. Now, if we can just get some all-star Social Workers/Discharge Planners to smooth the path to finding good placement options, we'll have a virtual party to celebrate the win.0
