I do understand your dilemma Beginning. If you go through hospitalization you have to take whatever they give you for a nursing home bed and that could be anywhere. You don't have a choice in that case. Hang in there. You never know when a bed will come available. Yep, there are people on those list that know they are going to need a bed at some point and just want the name at the top before they need it. The turn over is rather high usually so keep the faith. Something will turn over for you.

In the mean time I do hope you have some help at home with DH. If not you need to get some. If you have some perhaps some more will help. They can't argue about what you spent directly on him. I will keep you, your kids, and your DH in my thoughts and prayers that you will find something soon....

Love, deb
