Returning Huggies, Louise to Sally

[Guest guest]

The handsome big eyed lover boy is watching me at the computer - 5 steps to

him and the ever needed suction machine. Jan is quite thin now, open

mouthed and looking quite bewildered and defenseless, much as he looked in

high school years ago. Thanks for writing and remembering me - despite

Spring I am deep in the doldrums. Thanks to you and so many others for

reassurance that there is life after loss.

Hauled Jan's hurting carcass to Drs office in ambulance Friday. Bad trip.

Dr. Looked at horribly inflamed buttock holes and suggested they be dressed

differently. That is, he will instruct nurse who visits weekly but is

unaware that Jan has been bedfast for over a year, then nurse who has NEVER

dressed holes will teach me?

One hour weekly...including checklist time,

Such is medicine in LA where nursing home care rate is lowest in the US -

$88 per day due to minimum $5.15 hrly part time, no perks, no pension.

Often no care, or very little.

Keep sending Grandma and Kansas news. Don't blow away, we need you. LA

Louise, tired a whole bunch.
