A form of punishment for bad behavior in our school days. Sitting in the principal's office, hallway, somewhere to be watched as we kept quiet. Guess who is in detention at the facility? Yep. We got a call at midnight that police were at her house responding to a call about murders and kids lying dead in the yard. She reported this calling 911 from her cell phone.. Her son's fire chief also arrived, everyone shook up, no one there. Chris is on a planned golf weekend out of town when he got the call. Since her windows are nailed and caulked shut because of rot, it's too bad they didn't break them to enter and search for answers. Or bodies. And she also fell out of bed for the first time, and disrupted schedules with her calls to imaginary troublemakers to GET OUT!! So she has been moved to the hallway where the nurse station has view of her.
Summer is moving into the middle of July and will not be enjoyed this year. Mid July? Really?
I can't figure out what the hell I did with follow.it and I can't download previous subscribers of blog posts, and I may never. Not even sure entering your email into this bottom link or side will work.
After yesterday's hours of getting the PA assistance site to accept her registration for online access, finally! And then the real nutcracker. They have NO record of her at all, even submitting an application let alone progress. Thanks PA workers. Get off your fricking butts, open the offices, and earn your bloated pay and pension. There are probably a handful of efficient and responsible employees having to carry the load.

Marly, I’m so sorry for all of Carole’s problems, which then are your problems. I understand because we took care of our parents. I hope Carole can find some peace and then you and Mark can have a good night’s sleep, too. Thinking of you and praying for some good news to come your way. Cherie in WI
Such a very sad situation you are having to deal with. I read all your blogs and have no words to express my heartfelt feelings. I admire you for all you've been able to handle but know how terribly taxing all this has been for you an Mark. I lost both my parents and my older brother a number of years ago but never had to deal with anything like what you are having to work with now. You have your own health issues and that doesn't help. I also think the yard work being done at your home is way out of line expense-wise, causing some stress for you and your husband.
I think its great that you can find some solace in the little bit of stitching now and then; and also enjoying all of your plants that seem to be thriving under your care.
My thoughts have been and will be for you and Carole.
My mum has some pretty good hallucinations, but this round sounds a lot more like my husband's....Thankfully he couldn't use a phone when the nurses hid bodies under his hospital bed....and thankfully they stopped calling me every time they had to call security. Exactly what was I to do anyway? I'm sorry...I don't intend in any way to make light of this latest turn...and I certainly have no pearls of wisdom, but know that I do sincerely empathize with you. Hugs ~Robin~
No words, just know I have been there, I understand, best wishes and prayers to you.
Prayers for you...all you are dealing with, and prayers for Carole that she can find some comfort.
On a happier note, LOVE Mary Edmondson.
Oh dear, what a muddle Carole's brain is in. And in detention now? If they've confiscated her phone, hopefully you can sleep a bit better at least. And nothing was broken when she fell out of bed. Yes, I am looking hard for a silver lining no matter how tiny. There's no record of her assistance application!? I hope it's sitting in the office, not lost in the mail with my car registration from last year. If it is in the office, they need to get back there, as it doesn't seem like they can do their jobs at home. I'd hope it's a technology thing (very slow connections to their homes) not a slacker "who's going to know" attitude on their part. I don't imagine Carole's the only one with applications stuck in limbo, which is zero consolation or help to you. I wish I had more than (((hugs))) to lighten your burdens.
Keeping all of you in my thoughts. My father-in-law was in detention for a while when he was very ill with halucinations. I hope Carole improves at some point.
