Time to shit or cut bait

Dana's ready to go home and is getting everything in place so she can leave on Friday. There is some doubt as to how Mom is going to get along on her own. Mom says 'no sweat'. Dana says '??????'

So Dana's getting the doctor's office to put all of his instructions in writing and she's going to turn that over to the social worker there at 'the home'. They will keep an eye on Mom and if they think she's ready to go into assisted living they will talk to her and talk to me and the three of us will decide and two out of three wins. (I've had this discussion with Mom a gazillion times, she knows the poop.)

I'm seriously thinking that Mom is ready to go into assisted living but not ready to say 'let's do it' so she is, maybe even unconsciously, arranging things so she won't have to make that decision.

My brother and even my sister - amazingly - and Dana all agree. (As I emailed my brother tonight - it's the only thing the three of us have ever agreed on - Daddy must be shittin' in his ashes.) So Friday she goes home and we see what happens.
