I was thrilled to see a square with not one thing written on it on the calendar.
Dad filled the day with newspapers, biographies and puzzles.
Honestly, I read a book. I did the things for family that keeps our household functioning. I puttered around the house. I sat in the hot tub in the rain.
The ADRC (Aging & Disability Resource Center) called back this afternoon. As I talked with the nice lady on the line I noted when I spelled my name - she pronounced it correctly. Hmmm. She commented, "I went to church with a lady named De'Etta."
"Really. Where?"
"The Military Chapel."
"Then we know each other. I'm Chaplain G's wife, De'Etta. I didn't catch your name."
TONI - TONI from the Gospel Service at Elmendorf AFB in 2002. What a small world. We enjoyed a quick catch up on where she and her darling daughter are these days. Here sister, Val, was a ministry partner and friend when we were assigned here.
Unfortunately, the interview I had done a year ago - part one in this process of getting Dad some help - expired TODAY. We have scheduled a new interview for Monday. This proves that I really HAVE been working on this project for a YEAR and still am not through the first qualifying application with Medicaid.
I hopped right on the laptop to let Dad's Care Coordinator know that I HAD heard back from ADRC and scheduled a new assessment interview.
As I went to send the email, I noted a new email in the in box! The notice we've been waiting for. Nearly 4 p.m. and I found out they had DENIED the Trust AGAIN. This time the lawyer used the template he was sent by THEM. He simply replaced names and dates. I called the lawyer. I've not heard back. This will be the 5th time he has to draft; I have to register with the court and submit an amended trust to the state. I see why the lawyers on the ADRC list all told me they are no longer doing these trusts. I also start to wonder if someone in that state office has something against us specifically. This has entered the absolutely ridiculous zone. LOL
2 Days until Someone turns 21.
One really long, long day until another someone is home - o.k. probably early morning of the 2nd day. LOL
