I am glad that I'm going to see my dad net month. Wish it were sooner. Seems that he is on a downward spiral. Not so much with the Alzheimer's, as with his drinking and his lack of financial responsibility. His case manager thinks that by no means is he ready for a nursing home, because he is SO independent, but that he deserves a living situation better than the one he's in now. He ought to have his own apartment. Right now he lives in a group home where the residents of each floor share a common bathroom. He can't won't fill out paperwork, and... well, let's just say he's digging himself deeper into a ditch. Our Boston vacation will be more business than pleasure at this rate.
