Hectic several daze--MD had an episode of irregular heartbeat that triggered a trip to the hospital. She set off the medical alert system--and the EMTs appeared late Friday and took her to the ER/cardiac facility. She was kept through Saturday--and is still there today. The episode seemed to be triggered by her being told that her caregiver funding was being reduced--her caregiver is now only funded for 2 days/week, instead of 3 or 4 days.

One fallout from this event--family members are stepping up to provide her with more coverage each day. We can do many of the things that the caregiver has been doing--grocery shopping, laundry, and so forth. She's been reluctant to ask for assistance--but she's 99 and needs help with various things. She'll be 100 in February--and is going to need more, and not less, help with daily activities.

I drove the truck today--to keep its battery charged and not let it just sit. It is drivable..just not with ease. The Check Engine light is lit--and shifting gears does not go smoothly. But it seems to be working--B needs to get it checked out and decide if he wants to use it. I just want to get it off my insurance--otherwise AAA wants nearly $1000/year for premiums.

Dance this afternoon--looking forward to moving and grooving. Dental work being done tomorrow--so will do RSB on Tuesday.
