News
Another difficult week for my dad. He was moved to rehab and that isn’t going well. I am worried about him and it has definitely affected my week for the worse. He is talking now and seems to be there now. But he’s been through a lot and improvement isn’t happening fast enough for the insurance company. He’s 92 and needs time to recover but they want to see things happen now. They found a blood clot in his right arm. He’s not able to use that arm due to pain. I’m really hoping the insurance company will take that into account and let him stay in rehab longer.
Monday, I go back to work. A week of teacher meetings before school starting August 12th. The change in my schedule will also be hard on dad.
What I read this week
Not a lot of reading this week. Still reading A Bodyguard Affair. Not that the book isn’t good, my life is just not lending itself to reading.
