Good news. The ankle didn't need surgery. She'll still need 4-6 weeks of rehab, but there were no emergency trips to Parentville that caused me to cancel classes. Whew.
Mom has agreed to come to TenureTrackville to recover. I've found a nursing home/rehab center here that seems pleasant, clean and safe, and I'm currently in Parentville to pick her up and get things pulled together.
I'm opening mail and seeing where things stand on bills. I'm really ticked off at the moment, as I've found about $100 a month of random "services" on her phone bill and credit card. Some of it looks like stuff that Dad may have tried the 90 day free trial and no one realized had started billing. I'm getting that cleaned up one phone call at a time. I'm also setting up a few on-line accounts so I can check up on things.
The good news out of last week's mayhem is that Mom agrees that she needs more help than she thought. While she's in TTville, we're going to try to let her see that life here can be fun and that maybe an assisted living apartment would be less lonely, safer and easier to maintain. Maybe by the first of the year, we can have her transitioned. Maybe not. Who knows.
Now, who to call next.....
