In the end I guess, I’m praying for God’s Will to be done, and for us to have patience, calm, and clarity.

Peace be with you, Brothers.[/quote]

If you want help with the Medicare mess, LMK. My wife has managed four or five skilled care facilities like the one your father is probably in right now. Prayers completed.

I'm helping my sister through her end of years health crises...luckily we found a residential care facility that has a limit of 6 residents and two very patient, competent and thoughtful employee/caregivers. The owner of the facility is an LVN and has helped advise us and monitor my sister's condition. They have experience in hospice care so this will be Big Sister's last home and she's happy with it. The monthly cost is a little less than what she paid at the assisted living facility that she left. Fortunately, she has a defined benefit pension and lifetime healthcare insurance with Kaiser from her past employment and life savings to deal with all existing and hopefully, future costs.

The positive side of all this is that I am now closer to my sister than we have been all of our lives to this point; she and I were never close. I have learned that she led a remarkable and active life. We have had many conversations that we probably wouldn't have had...

Not real up on the praying thing but how's about I send all I can muster up in your direction? Sit down so's it won't knock you over...

Congrats!

My wife and I have been together 32 years- married almost 30.

Morning, peoples. How the heck is it Thur already?

Brisket came out yummy.

Nurse Gene is taking care of my wife after her rotator cuff muscle and tendon repair surgery yesterday,

The roof is done, just a little cleanup to go, two dump trailers full of the old roofing materials to be picked up.

One wet dog and one wet doggy daddy. Fortunately, neither one of us is made of sugar... so we didn't melt.
