hi this is Abigail writing. just got a call from the case worker. its a bit confusing because she is the 3rd case worker i have spoken with so far. she (or they, i guess?) only want to communicate with one person. so they will call me and ask me questions. what i will do is talk to everyone interested and make decisions based on that.
the case worker today, Alsa, is trying to get him a bed in a dialysis center. this is a very special thing, so he might not get this.
 if he does not get in the dialysis center they want him in a nursing home/rehab place near the hospital. this is so if he needs to go back it's close. she had other reasons that i cannot remember.
he will need dialysis 3 times a week (according to Alsa) if he cannot sit in a wheel chair and have me drive him they have to get special transportation until we can.
my mom really wants him to be at a nursing home where we can all easily visit him. i agree with this, but i dont want to push it if he needs to be close to the hospital. maybe we can ask for him to be transfered when he is not as weak?
so much going on here moving everything (with 17 degree weather, snow and ice everywhere i step) packing, giving things away, dealing with lots of friends who are sad that i am moving, car troubles,injured back, so much too much to list or get in detail with. anyway, i will be back late night wednesday.
love,ab
