January 25th

well
somebody called me from the facility 
am I aware of the tuesday release
I'm LIKE 
I got a phone message about it 

although she couldn't DO ANYTHING 
NOT ANYTHING 
while I was watching 

she has now met
ALL the markers for being released 
she can walk FIFTY FEET with the walker
she can get in and out of the car
supposedly

I'm LIKE 
I don't think she's SAFE to live alone 
SHE is in charge of her
MEDICAL DECISIONS 
BUT 
you keep calling me 
what I want is for her to go into an assisted living 
at least until she finishes her outpatient p/t

I tried to talk to her about it 
& she refused to engage 

she did apparently authorize the outpatient p/t
that comes to her home
BUT 
I'm LIKE 
is it really your opinion that she can live
without help

she's LIKE 
don't you live close
I'm LIKE 
I live close enough to go by and check on her
OCCASIONALLY 

I am NOT able to be a caregiver 
that is not realistic 
& I'm reasonably certain 
she has not planned for people to come in to care for her

I can't make her do anything 
BUT 
HAVE YOU TALKED to HER

she's LIKE 
do you have HER number 
because I ONLY have 
YOURS

SO
I gave it to her
she said she was going to call her 
& her regular case worker 
would call me tomorrow
