Month: July 2024

  • Running out of another month

    I have managed to get utilities transferred to my name but when it came to USAA insurance I had to redo coverage so I dropped the inexpensive one for jewelry as I have no way to evaluate the costs as most were gifts from daughter. Any loss you would have to prove value so...gone. Been on the phone with them a lot lately, hail damage to roof and one vent they were here to redo after second rain poured in on my kitchen stove.

    Next week I need to call a probate attorney to get the house deed transferred into my name. My regular probate attorney has no forms for it and is going out for eye surgery.  I guess since I have the Wills here I don't have to file  probate. Another question I best ask. I closed the safe deposit box and had to pay $20 for the lost key. I had moved it when I saw Wil in the box in the hall where I had put it. Can't remember where I moved it too and all searches came up empty. Just like the searches for a purse of Carissa's, the extra coffee carafe, and I'm sure there is something else lost. Wil used to always find lost things as I get frustrated looking.

    My job now is feeding 2 cats, and watering 4 plants the florist never potted. My friend ordered an arrangement with a lovely wind chime. The funeral ended and those unpotted plants ended here with the nice basket I had to find a home for because they were tropical and a huge arrangement of pots in a basket no less. Cats and tropical don't go.

    So everyone leaves after we get here and I needed to get something to eat, rest, go out to shed in the heat searching for pots. I got it done but the peace plant sits on the top of the bookcase and I need to find a home for it too. One other plant I did managed to get a therapist to take with her. Yes I have PT as July 1st I ended up in the hospital. I couldn't walk and fell on my backside trying to get to Wil's recliner. Miserable 3 days of Xrays and they wanted to ship me over to Methodist hospital for back surgery. I told them I had a funeral to attend so no way. They let me come home to rehab here.  Such an urgent problem and I can't get an appt. with the neurosurgeon.

    My church family has been right here to see I have food. I already use them to drive us (me) to doctors. Only one lady still pops in with food now. Suk also lost her husband to dementia. Had a nice talk with her yesterday. I'm still struggling with anger about the facility I had him moved too. I toured the  place and never learned they don't have  one on one care so since Wil walked slow they plopped him in a wheel chair he kept falling out of. Hospice didn't get on board right away.

    Hush Bonnie drop it. At least I got to tell him I loved him and watch him try to answer back before he died.

    Following advice I had Wil admitted to hospital just before Memorial Day. Then I had to find a place to take him. Didn't have the right questions during the tour. Hospital dumped him on them unannounced and no information. Carol and I had his room all set up. This was the last time he walked. They didn't offer one on one care and hospice was not yet in place.

    He went down hill quickly and died June 19th. I got to tell him I loved him and I know that is what he was trying to say back.

    He was buried July 13th full military honors.
