SCREAM
i JUST can't believe the phone call today...AT four today get a call from the nursing home where we been trying to get mom into...and have been expecting that they knew we wanted her in her home town of Owensboro, after all that is where we called...
Now they say...NO BED IN Owensboro, but she can go to Henderson or Morgantown, Ky..YIKES...I am just stunned to know what to say to mom..She wants to get back to her home town..that she still remembers!!!!
What to do now..I will be going to view the one in Henderson, Ky tomorrow about 10 miles from here..but mom is not going to be happy to go there...but if I don't take it I probably will have to go through Indiana and it will take 2 to 3 months..Just as it seem things are going okay...going to work out...BANG!!!!!!!!!!
AND my pain is sooo bad...so much work to get done.. and missed my doctor appointment yesterday!!!Great two days.

Oh, Sandy, I am so sorry for your turmoil.....I just speak the name of JESUS in this situation....HE can turn it around...I pray she will be placed exactly where she needs to be for her and you all.....prayers going up....HE will do it.....Love, Patti (Matt\'s Mom)
Dear Sandi,
Dealing with institutions and agencies is SOOOOOOO hard and exhausting....and there always are so many twists and turns.....Unless your mom is out and about in the town, it may not matter as much as she thinks it might...If it is a nursing home much of her life will be inside.....
Don\'t know about the distances but 10 miles from you sounds not so bad...?
Anyway, sorry for the frustrations...and there are so many, too many in dealing with all these things....hope things settle and soon...hugs.....
hope the situation sorts its self out its hard to put your strenth into things that we cant do a lot about i do feel for you sending you lotsof healing thoughts angie x

I don\'t know what it is about taking care of our mothers that makes our heads spin. I didn\'t know which day it was and completely ignored my own needs while I was taking care of my mom. I understand your conflict. I wish there was some way to help, to take it away. I think once your mom is settled in a home, you will be able to get some much deserved rest. I will continue to send prayers. Love, Roselle
I\'m so sorry for all these major boulders on your path of trying to get your mom the best placement. Hoping that this other choice will work at least for now and to be in such pain on top of that with your own health issues, Sandi. Deep sigh! You are doing the best that you can in this moment and I will keep saying prayers that you not feel alone and supported. Let us know how this continues to unfold and how you are.
How frustrating that you keep encountering these problems...keep your eyes on the goal, getting your Mom to a place that is safe for her.
Hopefully the one in Henderson is nice.
It can be so frustrating.
Hugs, MaryLou
Always something when you are dealing with this sort of thing......but 10 miles isnt that far. I know your Mom liked the other home, but I have learned that most of the time, things happen foe a reason. Take care. Love, Dawn
What a mess. I hope it all works out for all of you, Susan
I dont know if this will help or hurt. Check out these places see it the care is good enough for your Mom. If everything passes your needs and the staff is careing and the people are not neglected then place her in that home. Right now you are looking for a place to take care of her like you would.
tight hugs Penny
