ravena_kadeThursday will be 4 weeks since Dad's surgery. I think he is doing well. No mishaps.
I have 24 Days left with my sister being here. I am exhausted in trying to work around her and her partner. Sunday I wanted to stand in the living room and scream "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE". All she has to do is sit and watch TV with Dad ,ask him to walk around the living room 3 times a day, make sure he has lunch. It seems to be too much for her.
Saturday I asked that she come over and be with Dad as I was helping the cousins pack up some of stroke cousin's things so she can move into assisted living. I thought that by seeing their chaos I would feel better. They also need someone who can move things. It did put me in a better frame of mind until I got home. The thought was that my sister and partner would take Dad out for a ride and maybe go out to lunch. Dad asked if they could go to Ipswich. They did not pick up Dad until 3 PM (he was alone for 6 hours) and they took him to Walgreens (a drug store) in the next town over. He was out for 30 minutes. And when I came home I had to cook dinner.
Sunday they said they would take me grocery shopping. They did not show up until after 2. The store is about 1.5 miles from my house, but they don't like to go through busy intersections so they drove 6 miles out of the way to get there. The store was so crowded and the produce so picked over I wanted to cry. Then I went home and made 3 meals because there are two 4 PM doctor's appointments this week. They ate and left me with all the dishes. Before they left they complained that they were not getting enough sleep so they were going to leave Dad alone for 3 hours every day.
On Friday I will shop on my own at Trader Joes in town.
Meanwhile I can't focus on anything. I need to pay attention to financials and not cooking and cleaning. It's just that I am so tired once 2 PM hits. I hope I can focus tomorrow.

I am so sorry, and wish I could help you out. :o
Hugs, Jon
