Just dealing with usual nursing home frustrations and my dad’s transition to a new normal… can’t use electric wheelchair so now totally dependent, harder to eat - will need some help, and the highest praise of all…my dad told my sister that “renie did good”.... I had to help him several times with the urinal. he told my sister as she was helping him…sex education begins at home -although she has been helping him for years. where are my brothers when they are needed?

It’s alot for you right now Maureen, sure am praying for your Dad and family for whatever the new normal brings you. Between your schedule and the rest of us this summer, our CC nights will be hard to come by. Steve is back in MN, regular visit with his folks. We are taking the girls up at the end of July.
Susan, can’t wait to hear more details about Marquette Manor. Our neighbor to the south moved there about 7 years ago, and I saw him the other day at Target, just as energetic as ever. You and Bill have worked hard, you deserve nice digs - just the word “cottage” makes it sound appealing!

Wow lots of coming and going. Are all the siblings trying to get in a meaningful visit? Your Dad sounds incredibly balanced and together for the fix he is in. Are his wishes all clear so that there will be no discord? I assume he is not eligible for hospice at the moment but it sounds like he is courting pneumonia. Depending so totally on others really must be a huge challenge.
Bill and I are considering moving to Marquette Manor in the next three to five years. We might look at other places for comparison but really are contemplating taking the luxury splurge. One issue is the dogs so the cottages might be our choice. Besides we got 2 free dinners for coming to the presentation.
I have a kid from church who will be doing some yard work for me. I love putzing in the yard but things got so overgrown that I just can’t keep up.
