Where she thought i would get the money is beyond me. also spoke to brother who informed me there was plenty of money and and i would soon be getting some compensation for my 24/7 care giving , she was very upset by this but i a assume she'll get over it. her health is considered fair at this point and there will be a complete team meeting in 3 weeks. Today was ok for us she still doesn't seem to like it when i leave, but i had to spend a little time with my family today also.. you know as i sit here and try to type she is 1 foot from me just staring at me like i am doing something wrong.. i need time for me.. does any one have this problem,, how do you nicely tell and 83 yr old woman to LEAVE ME ALONE, for 5 minutes..? Anyway happy thanksgiving to all and I am thankful for the opportunity to care afor this very special woman, and when i get down and out i have recently realized how very thankful i am my husband..
