Just a quick note to let you know that I am still around.  Life has gotten complicated again.
Jim finally decided at the urging of his oncologist to take his chemo and radiation.  He rented a motel room with the intention of returning to Sand Springs on the weekends.
Of course, things never work out as we plan them.  Right away, the radiation caused fluid to accumulate on his lung, cutting off a good bit of his air flow.  He's now in the hospital to have the fluid drained from his lung and will be there through the weekend probably.
Mother, in the meantime, ran her motorized wheelchair into the bed, fell out, got trapped between it and the bed, bruised and scraped herself up nicely. The nurses said that they may have to take her wheelchair from her because her cognitive skills are getting worse by the day.  We had noticed it too.  She seems almost catatonic at times, just staring into space.
I'm trying so hard to stay in the moment because I certainly have about all I can handle from day to day.  I really have to fight against what I fear lies ahead.
I am going to Dallas tomorrow to look at the final two places that I have narrowed my list down to.  So, I will report back on those next time.
Very tired....going to bed now.
