Today I am grateful for:

I talked to my sister E about my concerns for Mom; that my sister S (one of the people in charge of things for Mom), seemed to be wavering about whether or not Mom should come home, or go to a care facility (which I feel is necessary).  I probably got a little hysterical talking to E, but when I talked to S a few days ago, she sounded non-committal, saying "'it was up to the panel, not me".  

Well, the panel interviews family as part of their decision, and if my sister S were to say something like "our family is committed to making sure Mom would be safe at home", then that panel would be a lot more likely to say Mom would be fine at home.

I asked E to talk to S, to see if S would seem non-committal to HER.  E texted back that S said she thought Mom SHOULD be in care as well.  Well, that's not how it seemed to me the last time we talked, but maybe she's had time to think.  I am really hoping that when the panel interviews S, that she does the right thing and says that Mom is no longer safe at home, which is the sad truth.

I feel like I might be a little paranoid, but I am VERY worried that Mom will somehow end up back home.  I saw how bad things were, and it haunts me.

So, another day shot, worried about Mom.  I'll likely only feel a little better when she actually gets placed in a care home.  That might take some time, as my sister S said, there IS a process.  It isn't quick.
