Where I’ve Been

It’s been such a long time since I’ve updated my blog.  My time has been consumed for the last 18 months by my parents’ health (or lack thereof).  Counting hospitalizations, rehab facilities, and moving into assisted living facilities, poor Mom and Dad slept in eleven different rooms in a year and a half — sometimes alone, sometimes together.  Disorienting for them, exhausting for me!  Actually — disorienting enough that they both developed anesthesia-induced dementia following surgical procedures.  Dad died at the end of May.  Mom remembers Dad’s gone on some days, and spends other days with him yet.  61 years of marriage causes old habits to die hard!
