And Every Now & Then....The 'F Bomb' Needs to be Thrown
'Are you f'in' kidding me?!!?' Seriously, what the F?? And then there's f@#k, f@#k, f@#k!! Have to admit, sometimes it just feels good to lob a few F bombs. Especially in quick succession.
That's where I'm at right now. Actually have been for some time. We are at a critical juncture with Mom's care. Her hallucinations/delusions are getting not so pleasant. She is seeing 'things jabbed' into her food. Scissors. Cigarettes. When the F is the home health care going to f'in kick in?
Finally all of Mom's insurance got reinstated. Voyageur has an appointment later this week for home health care. Beginning of the week with Mom's doctor to get her back on her medications. This has been a long journey and we actually begin the journey of home health care the end of this week. And the journey's path is long - Mom turns 71 later this month, and outside of 2 types of dementia, she is in good health.
And seriously, how could a company that she worked for 26 years allow her - in her dementia - to let her medical insurance to lapse? F them all! Of course, it's just a bureaucracy and she is just a number, personal attention to policies be damned. I cannot even begin to imagine how people who don't have advocates are managing.
And for F's sake, there needs to be a shit ton more research, more money into research, more attention to the disease and more love and acceptance of those who have it. And I will keep saying it - if you know someone who is a caregiver, reach out to them. This f'in shit a'int easy - tons of emotion, exhaustion and unexpected expenses.
Well, I sure as F feel better :) Now, Voyageur, get off your F'in ass and write!!
