Visting Doctor

Thanks Fran.

I faxed all the paperwork for the visiting doctor yesterday to them. I signed all the papers saying that I had power of attorney. I thought I had seen a durable power of attorney listing my name first. But after talking to Fran and then Mom, I guess I was wrong. Called Fran in a panic this morning because all I had was the Health power of attorney, and it lists Mom first and then me. But what I had was all there is. Drove down to Mom's during lunch today to get her to sign the papers and to get copies of Dad's picture i.d. and insurance cards. But what I faxed yesterday was enough to get the visits started. Dr. Wilkes is going to the house to see Dad Friday morning. Dr. Wilkes needs to refill prescriptions and give new orders for therapy. The therapists can't come until there's a new set of doctor's orders. Chantal knows, which is good because she keeps Mom straight (well, as straight as possible). She was resting when I first got there. When she came into the den I said, "Hi Wonderwoman." She came into the kitchen where Mom and I were and I heard Dad start laughing. He loves it when we call Chantal Wonderwoman!

DVD player is sitting on a chair in the den. I guess we'll wait until Comcast installs the new cable line, and then tackle it again. Maybe Reynolds can get those 2 technowizards of his to get it working. :)

Need to tackle the computer, too. One thing at a time.

Fran, when we get back from the beach, we need to see about getting Mom to her doctor and to get her on some dementia meds. I'm hoping you can go with her to her appt. one day soon while you're not working.
