March into Nebraska

Actually, I flew into Nebraska, but, it was in March.  My father is not well.  One sentence – five little words – and what an understatement.  But, if I started typing all the words to describe the situation that  truly belong here, I wouldn’t stop for a long time.  Since I went out to Nebraska, we have at least been able to restore some of my father’s physical health and he is stronger now, eating well, and having his meds administered to him (which he had stopped taking).  But, he will not be able to return to independent living, or even assisted living.  So, I’ll be taking an Easter break in Connecticut and returning to Nebraska to continue supervising his care and, with my sister, begin the search for a care center for him to permanently move to.  Expecting a great deal of argument and angst over this, but as the famous quote from Star Trek Next Generation — “Resistance is Futile”.  Too bad my Dad wasn’t a science fiction watcher so he wouldn’t get this, or with his extreme memory problems, wouldn’t remember it anyway.

No photos for this blog post, but this is definitely NOT a photo taking time.
