Well, got all the paperwork done for Medicaid and now don't have to worry about that. Dh will be well taken care of. I go to visit 4 days a week, have 3 for myself and things I have to do like laundry, shopping, etc.

Dh will never be able to come home, the dementia is progressive and getting more severe. Some days he is doing pretty good, other days he is so angry. The delusions are always there, prison, inmates trying to kill him, and the poker games going on in a room underneath the toilet. At least he knows me, although one day he didn't. I just keep loving him, that's all I can do.

Getting the apartment redecorated to suit me. I will still have his favorite things around, but have put an ad in the paper to sell the lift chair. If I can't get it sold, will give it to Salvation Army just to get it out of here. Signed up at a wellness center and will meet with a trainer on Monday to work out a program that will help the fibro and osteoporosis.

My final indulgence: one blue budgie. The cage is set up and ready, and Skye will come home tomorrow. It will be so good to have another life in this empty place, although I would much rather have my beloved hubby. Sky cannot take his place, but will make his own place in my heart; there is room enough for two loves there.

Awww ((((FG)))) Im so happy that its all working itself out and that you are getting a new love (not to replace though I get that) just a little extra lovin from a feathered friend who I know is gonna get spoiled rotten!
