The continuing saga

Last night was our night to get together in a local restaurant for dinner. As always the food was good, the company was fun and all in all we had a really good time!

Was home in time for "What not to wear"!

Nancy called a little after 8 this morning. Bert had called her. Said the nursing home called him after 9 last night to say that Mother had some how gotten out of her wheel chair and had fallen and had scraped her leg and was screaming and disturbing other patients. Well, Bert right away told Nancy that they were going to kick her out and he & Nancy needed to meet with the head people out there at 9:30 this morning (his idea, not a requested meeting). So I told Nancy not to go and called Bert. Told him that I knew every time something awful happen with Mother his heart broke a little more, but we all knew this was going to happen. She's always going to have her ups and downs and that because of her brain injury her downs are more pronounced and quite embarrassing. Told him NOT to go talk with anyone, to just let it ride. They have other patients with similar problems and they are trained to handle things like that. He then said he'd have to hear this from Nancy, but that today is his day to visit and he was going. I told him that that was okay, but to let it ride. Called Nancy, told her what was happening and told her to call Bert. She did and he said okay.

Bert called a little after 10 this morning and had gone to see Mother. She was still asleep when he got there, but woke up when he opened her door. Said he only visited for about 15 minutes, but she was in good spirits and calm.

This just can't go on and on, or can it?
