Big News

Monday, February 22, 2016
I had taken a random day off and I got a phone call at 8:30 a.m. telling me that a bed had become available at St. Michael's.  I had to make a decision by tomorrow and mom had to move in on Tuesday or Wednesday.  I went to check out the facility and it seemed fine.  She was in a quad, but it looked like a hospital room so that was fine.  Mom always felt safe in hospitals.  We had gone through a spate of hospital visits in the past.
I talked to my uncle and his wife had been there for a short time.  Also a friend's grandma had been there.  I made the decision in the afternoon to accept the offer.
Mom went to daycare on Tuesdays so I booked a taxi to pick her up from the daycare and take her to the nursing home.  While she was at the nursing home, I could go to mom's place and pack her suitcase.  Mom's friend would pick me and the suitcase up and we would meet mom at the nursing home.  A great plan.
