I have seen for most everyone how bad the month of March has been. While its so far so good for us, a very good friend of mine has had blow after blow. Her dh was recently diagnosed with dementia, has had mini strokes. She had to put him in assisted living. Well the assisted living center is a family run home based business she was very happy with. She found it through a web site called A place for Mom. They have several homes in the DC metro area. Well the owner/manager left the country for a week and since then other relatives are doing the care. Well one of them said her dh chased a staff member with a metal pole and they called 911 on him. Well he can barely stand let alone walk. They called the owner manager and the staff said when they let my friend know about the situation that she cursed them out ,dropping the f bomb. Well Karen will tell it like it is she won't curse like that. So she got upset took off work and decided she would bring him home for a few days until the staff got back. He was home for a few hours and decided he could walk and proceeded to fall. He broke his hip and had surgery yesterday. Karen is beside herself. I have tried to be comforting to her. This month is the 4th anniversary of her fathers death from dementia. She went through all of this with him, including him being kicked out of several homes due to agressive behavior. She is breaking. If you have room in your prayers could you add Karen and Richard to them. She is afraid the hip break is the beginning of the end for him. We are going to back the DC area when I get back from Myrtle beach.
