Today Vincent – whom we picked up on Sunday night in Covington (see picture above)– goes to his psychiatrist in Jeffersonville. Later in the week he’ll go to our counselor and to our regular doctor. Today my Mother has an interview appointment with a nurse who works for the company that may provide her with long-term care insurance and then an appointment with her regular doctor scheduled (the latter may lead to other appointments). Some people theorize that some of her problems walking may reflect more than physical deterioration.
Three people we know died over the weekend: a woman who’d been attending our church, a family friend (and college friend of Mother’s) who I’d visited twice in Rochester (NY), and one of Stephanie’s aunt who we’d last seen at her cousin’s wedding. Mom and I may try to go to Phil’s committal service in Ohio in April. We also learned that some of the extended family members on Mom’s side of the family we visited at Thanksgiving have been ill. And Aunt Sandy, my Mother's sister, also has key doctor's appointments coming up.
So, in the past week, some folks who faced health problems no longer do so, and we’ll see how medical intervention helps Vincent and Grandma Martha, among others.
