Sorry, but I never got around to posting yesterday. I DID go check on Mom and Dad Monday around lunch. Mom was really eating! Margaret (one of the girls there) said that Mom hadn't eaten much at breakfast, but that she was doing good then! She wound up getting a second yogurt and Mom ate that, too! Mom looked good---she'd had a shower, too. Her eyes are the only thing. Bless her heart, those eyes are sad! Anyway, when I asked her if it was good, she said good. Mom was ok. While Margaret was feeding Mom, I went to sit with Dad at a different table. He was eating away---cleaned his plate totally!!!!!!!---but when I said something to him and sat down beside him, there was no response really. That sounds weird, but it's like he glanced at me and then went right back to eating as if I nor anyone else was anywhere around. I tried to make conversation with him and told him several things about people and asked him some questions, etc. He was just kind of 'whatever'. After he ate, he rolled himself out into the hall. I followed him and was going to push him toward their commons area. He grabbed the wooden rail and was pulling himself back toward the dining room. I wheeled him around and let him go back in there. He went to the cabinets and yelled he wanted a cigarette. He was just kind of out of it again yesterday. I asked Margaret about Dad and she said he'd been wound up but not as bad as Sun. She said Sat he didn't want to get up at all. They'd let him sleep until about lunch and then when they got him up he put himself back to bed. (I'm assuming after lunch) Anyway, I asked Debbie about a possible UTI and that I'd mentioned it to Paula on Sun. Margaret said she thought that they'd left orders to check it, but Debbie said she didn't know anything about it at all. She wrote it down and was going to see about it. She said she thought they'd checked for one recently, but I told her I didn't think so. Anyway, they gave Dad a shower and then put him straight into his bed. When I went in to say something to him, he was OUT! Anyway, I don't know if this is the new Dad or if something is going on. I also got a call at 2:00 THIS MORNING from Ron (at the nursing home) telling me that Dad was on the floor between his bed and the bathroom and had a small skin tear which they'd treated! I told him that they were going to cause me to have a heart attack by calling me at that hour. I asked if it wasn't anything more than a skin tear could they not wait and call me the next morning! He said that was policy, but that he would check into it to see if that was possible! It took me an hour to go back to sleep! Good grief! Ok, I think that catches me up. I plan on calling Chad today to tell him that we don't want to file an appeal with Circuit Court. The longer I think about it, the more sure I am that this is how I feel. I'm ready for the period to be placed on that whole section of this adventure! I'll let you know what he says. Love you all, Jeanie
