Paperwork Revisited

 

 

we're looking for Mom's Social Security card

going through small boxes

full of paper

photos

odds and ends

 

if we don't find it over the weekend

we'll have to go downtown

to get a new one...

 

 

 

fortunately copies of birth certificates

can be ordered online

if you want to avoid

making another trip downtown

 

it's $23 a copy in person

a little more than twice that

to order online and have it shipped

with confirmation and tracking

 

yippee!!!

 

I am trying to grab some rest when I can

between

doctor visits and testing

Dad has had bad news about his

foot wound and circulation

we're working on getting cardiac clearance now

then surgery

 

this is our only option

besides amputation

which is really not an option

 

Mom is getting along okay

too much or too little

to do or visiting upsets her

so does being alone

 

 take her to visit Dad

then a short errand or two

every morning

 

I'm falling behind on taking care of myself

 

have already cut back to the minimum

of what I do for the folks

still barely time to sleep 6-7 hours

 

yes, I know there is help out there

just no time to make the calls

and set up yet another appointment

 

just venting

nothing to do but carry on
