Well, today we had a visit from the social worker. She seems to be a nice person... The reason she is here is to see what kind of services we qualify for and to start the procedures needed to receive them.
She said something about a widow's stipend from the Military since daddy was a war veteran. She also was talking about the flag received when daddy died, and I told her I didn't know about any flag. She said the Military sends a framed, folded flag when a veteran dies. She said she was going to ask about if one was issued and if not was going to get us one. So whoever has the framed medals make room for a flag! I don't need something else that needs to be dusted....
Anyway, she said there were services to help with the Boost drink. So if she qualifies (and the worker feels she does) we could be getting a weekly supply of Boost for Mom to drink. But you know what? Since we were told she doesn't have to eat in order to be well, she is eating everything I put in front of her. Talk about reverse psychology.
After a few nights of pain and crying, the medicine gotten this past Monday is starting to do it's job. Mom was able to get some good sleep last night and most of today has been mostly pain free. The "weeping" seems to be less also. Thank you drugs!!
Just finished typing that statement and she is moaning in her chair. I can't win...
