Back at the Northern Marsh

I'm home, yay! It was a long week. My Dad was very anxious about the angiograph, but once the doctor got a good look at the veins, there was no blockage, so there was no need for an angioplasty or stent. Instead, as my Dad's heart is operating at 35% (more or less), there will be medication to help its functioning and a longer term process to get him back to better health. Meanwhile, Mom is doing okay in the mornings, but she's very confused at times. She has a corner room at the RCF so she lays in her bed and watches out the windows, or sits in the chair when my Dad comes by to visit; she can't read or follow TV anymore--she gets TV and reality confused--and she sleeps a lot. My brother's family bought her a bird feeder for christmas, so once Dad gets that set up in the tree outside her window, she will have a lot to watch. Hopefully the facility's cat will come by too, to sit on her bed and watch with her, as that's where the birds will be.

I'm still emotionally exhausted, and plan to go work out this morning. Then I'll try to get on-line and work my way through comments and LJ entries, trying to catch up. I missed y'all so much!
