I just came back from a trip to the Twin Cities with my husband and my daughter. I felt slightly guilty leaving my brother back, but not guilty enough not to do it. It was really nice being able to leave town without having to worry about him. I wasn't worried because he was doing so well when I left, he was even walking a bit without his walker.
Tomorrow is New Years Eve. I plan to visit him in the morning and take him out for coffee, but I don't plan on seeing him on New Years Day. I feel a little guilty about this too. If he lived closer, I would bring him to my house. I haven't gotten myself to call the nursing home closer to my home to get him on a waiting list because I'm afraid they are going to reject him and I am going to get really aggravated. They have this thing about not taking anyone before 65 (he's 63), and of course, they are not going to want a public aid patient. I am still dwelling on how to broach this to them.
