What happened to October?

 This is how fast October went....I haven't written since September and now it is November. Oy.

So Tom status: Physically he is thin, weak, and malnourished. Mentally still aphasic and confused, with a mind more wandering than ever. He doesn't eat -no appetite and nothing appeals to him. It has been suggested I see a gastro doctor to get a feeding tube (placed outside body) going before he disappears. I am so sad. 

He was in the hospital three times in Oct. Two times admitted, last time ER and out, but maybe should have been kept because he is not better. :-(

I have done some things...Friends of the Burlington County Library board meeting, worked the Boscov's Fund raiser on the day of (but didn't shop this year), BCEA rep council meeting, spoke at the BCEA retirement workshop, set up membership committee phone calls (was the Caffeinated Conversation this month?), BCREA Fall general membership meeting, SHIP update meeting in Audubon, Joan Wright celebration....

See me in the mirror?

Tom was still eating when this was taken

I got to go to things because of Florence, the Comforcare health aide watching Tom while I was away. She just had surgery and now we have Vera. (So far I was late coming back from the retirement workshop Tuesday and left her standing at the door in the rain Thursday...bad first impression :-(  )

We have done no movies or dancing, obviously. I miss it. I miss the old Tom very much.
