Good morning, everyone. 50/62 and cloudy. Well, I’ve kinda been MIA here lately. As some of you know, I’ve been caring for my folks. A couple of weeks ago, Dad had to be hospitalized. He was experiencing hyperactive delirium from a low sodium level caused from pain from a fractured spine. We’re yet to know how that happened but apparently it can happen very easily in an elderly person even from a wrong twist or from a bump. So he spent a week in the hospital and then we decided that with the progression of his Alzheimer’s disease and limited mobility that we should find a memory care facility for him. So I found him a really nice place. There’s only 4 tenants. He’s got a private bedroom and it’s just a regular house. And it’s operated by a mother/daughter. So it seems to be more of a one on one and personal care facility versus the larger ones. So, we haven’t visited him yet. He’ll have been there for a week tomorrow. We felt that we would let him try to settle in and that our presence would possibly distract him and cause him mental/ emotional distress. So I think one of my sisters and I will try to see him today. So I may be in and out here for a while but I’m still around. Hope you enjoy your day…🐟on

So sorry to hear that your dad has declined Dave, but I guess that's what happens as we age. Hopefully he'll be comfortable and feel at home there. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
