My husband had his surgery on Monday, and came home last night. He’s doing well, but slow and ouchy. His blood sugar is under control pretty well now, they didn’t have to give him any meds for it while in the hospital for 3 days.
Aunt Katherine is still in rehab for her cracked pelvis. I’ve completed arrangements to have her moved to a different place once she’s done there. She just can’t be left alone anymore, so she will need to leave her senior independent living apartment, and will move to a memory care unit of a new place, where she will still have her own room and bath, but will have 24/7 caregivers watching over her, giving her meds to her, and will live in a small “neighborhood” of 12 people. They will have a shared living room, dining room, and activities area. I think she will ultimately be happier and safer there, although it’s going to be a trauma to move again. Since she will have a much smaller place, I have tons of furniture, kitchen stuff, etc. to get rid of on the next 6 weeks.
And the biggest thing on the horizon is that I’m retiring from my current job of 31+ years at the end of the year. I think I’ll sleep for a whole week, then will figure out what I’m going to do with the rest of my life. I’ll be so happy to no longer have a 3 hours round-trip commute, and no longer have to deal with the corporate idiocy. It’s not a nice world in corporate America anymore…
