Breaking news from Ohio

Recommended Posts

Wo7 went to Ohio last Friday to help LAJ with his cataract surgery. The procedure was a success but it will be months for complete recovery. 

Progress is being made to find assisted living but he needs to find a primary care doctor who takes Medicaid. 

Robert the Jedi and Dumpling have broken up. Dumpling is moving to a one bedroom apartment in Hamilton in September. Wo7 is helping her find furniture and stuff.

WoJSTL is in Cincinnati now moving her brother out of assisted living. She found him a lock down nursing home but it's a short term solution.

Therefore there's an assisted living spot opening in Cincy and it's very nice. They take the Medicaid waiver.

True, but you don't have to let your family drag you down. 

Sometimes, you just have to cut them loose for your own sanity and to avoid having them drag you down with them.

I will tell Wo7 this. We know where that is, it’s a hike from West Chester, but who is going to visit LAJ anyway?

Distance is a great way to make things a bit more sane.

Also a great way to make things more insane.  We are dealing with wife's mother issue.  Dementia is setting in badly and no one has been able to convince her she has to leave the house and go somewhere else.  My wife's sister in Colorado wants her to move out there, as she is an empty nester now and has the time and resources to take care of her.  So I know it's driving her nuts being so far away and not being able to do more than spend way to much time on a phone.  Especially when she gets a call that her mother was out in the middle of the road, trying to stop traffic so people wouldn't hit a turkey vulture.

We are the closest, but unfortunately can do the least to help anymore (we used to take care of everything) because we can not have the kids around her, she absolutely freaks out about the kids being in her house.  She thinks they are going to break stuff or try and steal stuff (there isn't anything in the house worth saving or stealing).  Last time she was at our house, she started yelling at Finley to get away from her.  Finley was trying to give her a hug.  Yeah, can not have the kids around her, so greatly limits are ability to do anything as we have to take care of our kids first.
