[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've read all the posts and will try not to repeat. Just want to say I totally get it and my heart goes out to you. In this case, there was no alternative. I know people mean well, but for some reason I am always surprised when people suggest something like "can a neighbor go?" Most people's neighbors are not sitting arounf at home with nothing to do. I would never impose on my parent's neighbors because I want them to keep enjoying neighborly harmony.

I am glad to hear there is a caregiver you can hire sometimes even if she is not available this time. Wonderful that you already have a great connection with her since she took excellent care of your father.

It's so hard. Some days the sandwich is more of a panini...one that is too smushed and burned.

Sounds like you are making the best of a challenging situation.[/quote]

OP here - thanks. I like the panini analogy!

My mom is in a senior community- independent living but there are very few neighbors who have cars (or should be driving.) And it’s very transient as people are constantly moving in or out as their health declines. It’s not a traditional neighborhood in that regard. My mom likes it but I wish she lived closer.

I just called the doctor again - still no cancellations but the receptionist told me to keep calling. I’ll keep trying. I’m also praying for rain tomorrow so that the game is postponed. :-)[/quote]
