She was living with my sister-in-law and her husband (we were all working at the time); she was lonely, bored, unhappy and inactive… and making the entire family miserable. She had not done as well as hoped after knee surgery because she would not exercise, and her macular degeneration was dramatically affecting her life. It seemed cruel and was very difficult, but once accomplished it turned out to be the very best thing for her. She had full-time help, made friends, and began to get back into “life”… She at first felt we were banishing her, but that changed, and when a new and better assisted living home opened up, she was thrilled to go there… better apartment… better meals… more friends… and she was a much happier person. She lived there until she became ill and was diagnosed with lymphoma. Within two months she was gone. But she had friends who came to visit her in the hospital… and they’d giggle and gossip like girls. She got her life back.mmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852702753078267542.post-90434026023821357932015-01-29T16:44:13.262-06:002015-01-29T16:44:13.262-06:00Went to NEO with G.

I’m sure she was overwhelmed with the idea of moving and all that it entails. Even though she probably knew you would do most of it for her, all the new stuff was such a nice surprise for her. nvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
