Last Saturday was a beautiful day, and my husband was nice and drove with me to see my brother. It is always good to have a helping hand, especially with the walker, because I have been having some trouble with tendinitis in my arm and it's kind of hard to lift the walker and put it in the car.
My brother didn't seem to be having a great physical day. He had some kind of congestion going on. I am planning on going to Spain with my family in a few weeks, the last hurrah before my daughter goes to college, and my grown up son is coming too. The plan is not to tell my brother until right before so he doesn't get upset and make himself sick. (He has been known to wreck many of my vacations!) So of course I'm a little worried that something is going to happen. It's probably a little selfish of me to worry more about my vacation then about him.
It's tax time and I have been working on his taxes. It's complicated because he gets SSID, and has two trusts. Then, I start finding out he has the small IRA CDs that no on knew about! And I thought I had finally gotten all the finances under control.
At least his medicare card showed up in the mail. That starts in July. Let's hope he doesn't get sick until then, I don't think you get the best care when you are just on public aid.
But, despite this, things are pretty much ok.
