Still can't attend

[patti santucci]

Hi All,

 

I have been thinking of you all. I haven't touched any of my writing since my mom fell on October 8th. I know also that I have not had the chance to comment on any of your work. I apologize for that, but life has thrown me this curve ball and I am doing my best to keep everyone's head above water. 

 

My mom is still in a skilled nursing rehab center. Still unable to walk on her own or transfer from bed to wheelchair. Many other issues have developed as well due to the heavy pain meds and the amount of time she must spend in bed. I have been warned that insurance will probably deny continued coverage in the facility she's in. Once insurance flips that switch, I will have two days to find someplace else for her to go. Her health complications will make it impossible for me to take care of her.

 

Of course, as I'm sure you all know, there are so many other complications that arise be them financial or logistical. I feel like my hands are so full.

 

However, I do want to return to the group. I miss writing and I miss you all and your stories and poems. Hang in there with me. I will be back if there is still an open slot in the future.

 

Keep on arranging all those lovely words that lay at your feet into beautiful bouquets of poem and prose.

 

Patti
