Rob update
I haven't been online since Sunday? Or something like that. Rob is home.
He was released from the hospital on Tuesday. On Wednesday he was signed into hospice, again. His right side is very weak and he cannot walk on his own. We now own a wheel chair. He cannot use the toilet and has to wear either adult diapers or depends. Hospice will not supply any of the incontinence materials he needs. Sigh. In order to get the wheel chair into our room for him, we had to have the bedroom door removed. interesting effects when taking showers or changing clothing. Since his right side doesn't work properly, we are either feeding him, or giving him food he can use his left hand with. Sigh again. But at least he is home. We've been up to our necks in alligators and busy. Hospice means the end to what little privacy we had, though it is what Rob needs at the moment. The cats seem to think that I'd dumped him and then changed my mind. It has been four days and Huey still hasn't forgiven me. QC thinks the wheel chair is a great place to sleep. The rest of the gang are reserving judgment. Tanada, however, seems to think that my latest behavior means that she no longer has to behave and has been busy stealing my food, water, books, and bed. We argue a lot. Pam S. |

We argue a lot. Pam S. Pam, I'm so sorry--glad to hear that Rob is home but sorry to hear how difficult it is for both you. You have been through far more than a person should have to endure. I did want to make a suggestion, in case you haven't seen these. I was my mother's caregive for 5 years before I finally had to place her in a nursing home. During that time, I found that the wheelchair was very difficult to maneuver into the car, but we had to have it. I asked around about alternatives, but no one was able to make any useful suggestions. Then, when we were visiting relatives in Ohio one summer, I walked into a health care store and asked the same questions I had been asking over an over again. But they had the answer! They had a lightweight but sturdy wheelchair that folds up narrow enough so it can be slipped into the back of the car between the front seat and the back seat. That was *so* much easier for me than trying to lift the heavy wheelchair into the trunk. I don't know if something like that would help you but thought I would mention it. MaryL |

((((Pam)))))))) I've been thinking about you guys a lot and noticed you hadn't posted in a while. I sincerely hope you guys are able to lift each other up like you always have. I think I know a little about what you're dealing with -- I know you are the strong one, and I suspect everyone looks to you for answers, and that by itself is tough. With Dad, it was easier for us after Hospice came in. I sincerely hope the are providing some help and comfort to you all. Vent anytime you need to. Sherry |

The hospice organization I used for my mother supplied all that stuff (including the wheelchair, the bedside commode, etc). I still have several packages of adult diapers. If I thought they'd fit Rob I'd send them your way, but Mom only weighed about 78 lbs. Purrs continue for Rob, for you, your family and your kitty family, too. Jill |
