Carole woke unable to speak, confused, delusional, and for the fourth time in three months needing blood. Lower than ever, sent to ER. My local hospital no longer has a gastro doctor (she was scoped there two months ago), and she would be sent to another hospital. Where? Another facility that is unfamiliar with her conditions? I can't tell you how many times I have recited the last six years and recent issues, completely baffled why it's necessary in this age of technology. After all these months, we thought the unexpected had worn itself out, but it seems to be gaining strength while we're losing ours. Tonight she was pathetic and frail, wanting me there all the time, not understanding why I can't be, asking what will happen, why is she alone, where are they taking her, will I come with her, and the fear and tears in those wild eyes can create guilt that tops stress.
Missing the Clinic appointments tomorrow, the only hope for an end to this nightmare, and would need to wait another five weeks. That's it. SEND HER TO CLEVELAND G-DAMMIT. ENOUGH! Almost four months of agony while you people f around. No openings. Again. So a satellite hospital in Cleveland is where she is headed at 11pm tonight. She is panicked, unable to explain or comprehend, alone, no one to comfort her, explain the nightmare, the positional pain. No hotels that I could stay at without requiring a car, I can't drive while adding eye drops every 15 minutes. So Mark will have to stay with me and chauffer to and from since he is not permitted in the hospital, missing his golf league again and Nitzy will have to stop treatment. I am so hoping this is only until a room opens on Euclid, she is familiar with the nurses and doctors there.
Tomorrow morning we will drive to the last facility and retrieve her belongings. The last before her 40 minute ride to the ER, and almost two hour ride to the new hospital. The transfer to and from vehicles and stretcher to bed and back are unbearably painful. I hope to find out more tomorrow, will be difficult since she is unaware. She is about to give up. And I hope the two elderly women brought to the ER that were sneezing, do not test positive.

Keeping you both in my thoughts
Marly, so very sorry. I know I speak for many, I wish I lived near you we would be helping at least with a ride. Sending hopeful thoughts for you, Carole and your wonderful Mark.
Marly, I am so very sorry for all that you, Carole and Mark are going through. Hugs and prayers.
:-( (((hugs)))
Cannot believe you are caught up in this nightmare....shame on those not dedicated to
giving you solutions. In the meantime, we can continue to pray that you will be eased and strengthened as you work through the maze. May Carole be comforted and assured...
and not give up. Bless Mark for his devotion and you, dear Marly, for being the finest
Sister Carole could have. Go with God, dear one.
Holy smoly! How can this nightmare continue to compound for you and your sister. And we think we have problems! Please know that I pray for your situation to improve and especially that the Lord will give you strength to deal with these mounting problems. Blessings from Delaware.
I have no words for all you are going through, so I will just pray.
My God in Heaven. I feel so bad for you and Carole and Mark and Nitzy. All this horrible lockdown shit from our government is killing people. They made the last year of the unfortunate so horrible. They don’t give a flying f about the people of this country. I am just so angry about it all, but most especially folks like you. I would like to take those friggin masks and stuff them up their stinkin arses. Sorry to be so negative but it is the reality. I’m praying my daily rosary for you all. I pray our Lord does something soon. Please,Lord,hurry up. God bless you all.
Oh Marly, I am so sorry. What a nightmare and what a worry. Sending hugs and prayers.
😢 Still praying.... Robin
