by Diane: Mini-art respite from care giving # 8; Giving up of life's accumilation followed by possibilities

Friday, July 17.
Big breath of relief, in the mail are both a long term care insurance claim and doctor's  questionnaire for first visit with psychologist who works with ALS families.  Next a  request for our Regence Medi-Care Plus plan to reconsider a declined claim for an expensive ventilating respiratory system for Fisherman Husband. Then a phone call for picking up respiratory equipment but not the right equipment.

Next week we will be assesed for Hospice Care. Maybe their help will allow his delcine to plateau and as so many do, we will go off of it.

This is all moving too fast.  Yet I see possibilities as Don rids  himself of things in the shop. I could move my bedroom studio into the shop and we could make my current studio into a placefor live in help.

Never thought I would have a big studio,
and never would want to acquire one as is happening.

That sounds very encouraging.

Rain, Yes when Utah daughter and son in law come they will have the option of using my studio as a guest room. We have a bed frame in the shop and a matress in the motor coach.

When my brother came, before all this virus stuff changed everything, we gave him the option of the guest room in the house or the trailer. He took the trailer, which gave him a bathroom at night. It worked out very well. He'd come in as soon as he saw lights and then stay until he either needed a nap or night came. Like a guest cottage.
