Re: more transition for me
Pam -
I can't imagine how odd and discouraging
this must feel. Do you like the care there?
I got unbelievably ill last April. I realized thru
that process I will need to find a place to go
when it's that time for me. I'm not at that point
yet, but will be visiting a place soon to prepare
for next steps. Unfortunately, those around me
could not manage my situ and I found it too much
to "manage" other people to help me when I was
so very ill myself. I hope you are getting some relief
to be on the receiving end of good care.
My experience in April taught me how this
can turn on a dime very, very quickly.
Kim
