Thank you and 'Good Morning!' to you too!

You might consider doing what we did - which was to hire a full-time live-in care provider. It's expensive, though...

Hoope today finds you and your family in good spirits and doing well!

I am off to the store to replensih my dad's apartment with both white milk for his cereal and with chocolate milk, which is his prefered drink. Had to pour down the sink the other half gallons from when he left because they were out of date and smelled bad.

He is returning todaya round 1:00vp.m. and that means I start this cycle all over again of being there every morning early to dress him, bathe him, clothe him, make coffee for him, and then I can begin my day until around 4: 50 p.m. when I have to leave and go over again to take him to the dining hall whichis right up the hallway from his apartment because he cannot remember that is where he eats at for dinner..

Of course I wash his cloting and dry it and fold it twice weekly including his bedding.

SO, this cycle starts again. I am hoping I canget my brother to take a few days to help at evening time and maybe get my nephew to help a couple nights also. That would make life a little easier.

The question I wrestle with is when do I finally say I cannot do this anymore and turn him over to the assistd living part where he would no longer have a private apartment but share a room with someone else?

He would not likely like that..

So it is a catch 22. If I canget help then I can postpone having to feel terible for putting my father where I know he would not like.

Decisions.... Yuck.
