Thyna's Wanderings
If you know what a kender is, you will understand. If not, this is going to be a collection of random stuff depending on how I feel, the events of the day, web sites, personal interests, trinkets, collectables and stuff from my pockets :)
One less at the house
The Lady at the group home wasn't doing too well. She came home after a week at the hospital, only for us to have to send her back. But management decided that because of her medical needs and my co-workers and I not having the apropriate training that we couldn't care for her anymore. So arrangements were made for her to remain at the hospital until a spot became available for her at a Nursing home. On Thursday last week we got the phone call that they found a bed for her and they would come and pick up her things the next day. I spent most of Friday packing her cloths, photos and nick-nacks that the Nursing home would allow her to have.

The packing wasn't the hard part. It took my entire shift to pack the boxes, but it kept me busy. And other than a few thoughts about how for a woman of almost 70 years in age, she had very little to show for it (mind you she had a lot of photos). But Yesterday I couldn't even look into her room. Because I knew she wouldn't be there and know she won't be back.

It has been so hard not having her at the house anymore.

    My sister is graduating at the end of this summer, and is probably going to move away, maybe to another country. I know this is a slightly different situation, but... it just sort of reminded me of that.

    This is sort of a follow up to the entry.
    The lady is still at the Nursing home. But she doesn't recognize staff, or even has a whole lot of energy to do much more than smile and close her eyes again. Poor lady.
    I'm just glad she is in no pain.
