Sorry I haven't posted...the wifi was down at the hotel most the of the weekend and it's hard to concentrate here at the hospital...always some distraction...
At any rate we are now entering a "hold" of the proverbial "all dressed-up but no place to go" variety.
Dad has been deemed too weak to successfully undergo rehab at the Providence facility. And he is too well to remain here at St. Elias. But he's not strong enough to go home (he cannot stand unassisted or even do a stand and pivot with my help - much less with mom's or my sister's assistance). So by the simple yet effective process of elimination we are bound for a nursing home - at least temporarily - as soon as a bed can be located.
And right now there are no beds in Anchorage or Juneau. All hands agree that Juneau is where we want to be; but if a bed opens up first in Anchorage we will have to do a little two-step.
In other news the seriously crappy weather continues in Anchorage. We are now four days into a new record for consecutive days with measureable rainfall. Over a month. Even Juneau has been nicer - they had a couple of near 80 degree days last week. Amazing.
Well, dad is awake so gonna chat-him-up for a bit and then go have supper. Then home and TV and/or reading. I am now into volume seven of the Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin Royal Navy saga. It's 1813 and the boys have just been shipwrecked on the coast of France. But since there are twelve more volumes in the series, I have a hunch they will be able to extricate themselves in only another fifty or so pages.
Tally Ho!
