In the soup

Standard

I went out to take a few rose shots after dinner and my lens kept steaming up! You could cut the air with a knife. I got my photos after a few tries and turned right around to come in again.

Uncle Don a few years ago
My mom said my Uncle Don came home today. I sure hope he is getting help. Mom thinks someone is suppose to be there helping him 3 hours a day. He has a great neighbor who even went to get him ‘sprung’ as he left against the doctor’s wishes unfortunately. He’s very thin, like 138 pds for someone who is 5’10”. He’s also very stubborn like his mom. He came home to find his stepdaughters had removed the a/c units as they were afraid it would have been too easy to break into the house with them in place. The good thing he is about 20 minutes or so away from me instead of 45-50 minutes. Sean won’t be here, so I can surely bring meals and such over to him. When he came home right before last Christmas, he seemed pretty content. Then he fell and broke his hip. He said good-bye to my aunt who is still at the nursing home. She’s a bit older than him and in a wheelchair and naps a lot. Keep my 84 yr old Uncle Don in your thoughts and prayers. Mom feels that him being home is another thing to worry about. Where he was cost over 1K a week(!) and he had to share a small room with another man. Sounds sucky to me. I’d want to go home too.

  1. I have yet to meet the elderly person who’d rather be in a care situation than at their own home. I am glad your Uncle is home, and I hope he’ll be able to stay. It’s truly wonderful of you to bring him meals and keep an eye on him. I’ll keep him (and you!!) in my thoughts.
