Busy free day

[silver_chipmunk]

Started out early for a free day in case the inspectors from last week came round while I was here. Which they didn't.

At 1:45 I went over o College Point to make my 2:30 appointment to have my taxes done. I had to call my investments guy and have him fax over some paperwork which I either lost without knowing it or else, which I think, never received. But my taxe are done and filed and I feel good about that.

Then I went across the street and got my face waxed. It's looking much better now.

Then I took the 65 bus back into Flushing, and my old friend the 15 into Whitestone to go to the vet's and get Bjorn's special food. And then back home.

A little time to relax and then into the Bronx to eat dinner at Boston Market and go to my meting. Which went very well.

And now almost time to go to bed.

I called the FWiB's nursing home, twice, gathered my courage for it, but didn't get thrugh to him which is frustrating. I will keep trying though.

Gratitude List:

1. My meetings and the people there.

2. Friends.

3. My tax preparer.

4. My vet's.

5. NYC mass transit that allowed me to get all these places.

6. nice weather for my running around.

Why is the FWB in a nursing home? Did he hurt himself? Or is it a nursing home/rehab?

I guess you missed a few of my posts. He's been in the nursing home since at least the beginning of March, I don't know exactly because I didn't find out til later. Now I'm getting my information from his brother, who's getting it from their sister, who's the one that his wife gives info to directly, about every week and a half. I don't know what the precipitating event was, but his condition had been deteriorating, and as of now he can't walk because his legs won't support him, which may be caused by brain damage from the drinking. He gets therapy for that every day, don't know how he's doing though. He's also been diagnosed with COPD from the smoking, as well as the problems he already had. So he's in the nursing home, and doesn't have a phone in his room because it costs too much, so I keep trying to get through to talk to him and haven't been successful yet. *sigh*

At least since he's in there he can't drink or smoke, so he's clean and sober for the first time in a very long time. But his mental state is supposedly somewhat off, I hope that improves as time goes on.

And I want to talk to him dammit!

I guess I have missed a few. That's too bad, but he's in the best place for him right now. And mental issues could be caused by the DT's, unless they slowly weaned him down medically.

Yeah, I have no idea how they got him off. I hope that as time goes by he gets more with it, and mobile. Right now he seems to be in bed most of the time. I'd think they'd put him in a wheelchair more often but what do I know. *sigh*
