Will be gone for a week
Will be leaving the heat and humidity of Central Florida for the heat and
maybe less humidity of Boston (Woburn really) to spend a week with my mom who is in a nursing home. Mom has Parkinson's Disease and loses a bit more of her abilities each day. When I was with her last year, she was in an Assisted Living Facility, I could take her out in the car for rides and lunch. She can not get in and out of the car any longer. I will take pictures and cat stories and other entertaining things. We will have fun. Friday, September 2, 2005 will be the one year anniversary of my knee cap break. Since then I have been through airline security and neither the screws or the metal wires set off the machines. How embarrassing that would be! DH, David, is back on the Hurricane Disaster Relief Force. It will be a while before FEMA, the local government, and his company deem everything is safe enough for the trucks and drivers to bring the loads of materials to start building temp and permanent structures to work out of. He will be working a lot. So who will take care of the cats? Larry our room mate. He loves these cats as we do. He is so good with them. Two of the cats get meds and he takes care of that so neatly. I'm so sorry for all those that are hurting due to the catastrophe on the Gulf and Inland. My heart goes out to our RPCA members who are still hoping to hear from family. Many prayers and purrs for good news. See you next week-end Sept 10/11 Charleen |

Maybe there is a nurse or orderly who would be able and willing to go with you and help transfer Mom to and from the car so you could at least get her out for a ride and maybe some ice cream? For pay of course. Jo |

For pay of course. Jo Jo, what a great and loving idea. Unfortunately it can't be done. Mom is very unstable and must walk with a walker and an aide who holds on to her with a band around my mother's torso. Anytime mom has to go to a doctor's appointment or such it is required that she go in a wheelchair and in a wheelchair van. Wish we could do as you suggested! Of course there is nothing to say that I can not import some Rum Raisin ice cream, her favorite. She is not on any dietary restrictions. Charleen |

Charleen Now that sounds good. Mostly its a matter of trying to see through what someone cannot do or enjoy and still finding the things they can. I'm sure she will enjoy your company even more than you realize too. Jo |
