14. Hardest part of the situation
Sat Apr 4, 2020, 11:16 PM
Apr 2020

Was trying to figure out what happened. As you know, communication is a series of guesswork, assuming and presuming. My sister can hardly speak, it deteriorated from the use of different medications over the years. She is almost 70.
It’s tough. The unknown, and trying to think through the situation. I try to achieve the best out of what I can do. But she is in New Mexico which has a more accessible support system than what I could find here in TN.
She was on an emergency wait list here in Knox Co. for over a year and a half. No one ever contacted me.
So, after her accident and treatment I wheeled her to the airport and flights to New Mexico. She is doing better and loves life on concrete rather than the hills and rustic style of my setting. Her social life is great at a community center (except not now...everything there is shuttered, more social isolation than what TN is doing).
Take care, Koz. Best wishes for you and the family.
