Day 2964

 I woke up a little before 8.  Soon after I woke up Tony called.  He was ranting about demanding to be discharged.  I stated a couple of reasons why that wasn't a good idea and told him to call Social Security.  He hung up.  I felt guilty and called him back a few minutes later.  He ranted some more.  I hung up.

I played games for a while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It took a little while, but I finally came to the realization that there was nothing I could do to save him from himself.  I let it all go and started surfing.

I took Ellen to archery and then did errands.  I went to the post office and filled up the car.  Then I went to the pet store and bought a whole lot of cat food.  I made a short trip to Costco to get batteries and dishwasher soap.  The final stop was Goodwill to leave off the clothes that Ellen and I threw away when we reorganized our closets.  I made it back to archery with 15 minutes to spare.

Ellen was late getting out of class, so we didn't have time to go somewhere to eat.  Instead we went home a waited a few minutes for Grant to call.  We had a great  meeting.  It started off with a long dog discussion.  His dog is turning out to be a great hunting dog.  We told him about Abby's progress.  Then he showed us a cool online tool for getting a handle on all of our investments.  It may also help us handle RMD's and the associated taxes.  We have to do some data entry for the investments that Gerry handles.  Then we'll meet again in a couple of weeks.

The Medicaid person had called while we were driving to archery.  I got her email address.  She wanted the documents on Tony's finances in pdf form.  Ellen converted them and I sent them off after Grant's call.  A little later the hospital finance person called to say that they were moving Tony to a rehab place.  I guess Tony did get out today.  Yo called and I told him where Tony was.

I did a little more surfing and eventually switched to videos. Ellen fixed fried ham again for dinner.  I really like fried ham.

After dinner Yo called again asking for advice on what he should do about Tony.  Apparently Tony is really unhappy with the place he's in.  Yo wanted to know if he should call him back.  I likened Tony to a cat that's been moved somewhere new and is in a snit.  Yo understood.  I told Yo to turn off his phone, have a good dinner, and relax.  He thanked me and said he would do that.

A little later Tony called.  I didn't answer.  He called again about 10 minutes later and I turned off my phone.  The rest of the evening was videos.

I'm really happy.  I got Tony out of the hospital and into a place that the government will pay for.  The hospital financial person is really eager to have me sign up to have Tony's financial powers of attorney.  I'm not sure I want it.  Also the next step for Tony will be either home to Yo, a residence facility, or the nut house.  I don't have to part of any of that.
