Update

So, as most folks figured out, mom made it out to Kemptville.  Well, good news, she arrived back home this afternoon.

Just to give you an idea of the inefficiency I've been combatting, let me tell you about just one example, this one at least with some irony at which to laugh.

When mom went in the hospital in the early part of June, all the programs that had been put in place for her home care were immediately cancelled (standard operating procedure) including keeping the equipment that had been loaned to us.  Now, to be fair, on one of the days prior to of June 12th, OMG (Ontario Medical Supplies) called at about 10:00 in the morning (while Michele and I were at work - mom of course was in the hospital) to say that they would be at the house that day between 1:00 and 2:00 to pick of the equipment.  Of course, nobody was home for either the message or the equipment pickup. So, when was the next date arranged for pickup?  Yep, this past Friday; I did mention to them that they might want to wait because mom was coming home on Monday but they had to come and get everything regardless of that detail.  Well, mom got home about 3:00 this afternoon and low and behold the equipment was delivered back at about 4:00.  I'm slowly learning to just shake my head at the idiocy of the system.  For those of you who are familiar with the film Saving Private Ryan, you'll appreciate that the term FUBAR come to mind.

Mom certainly enjoyed all the visitors she had over the past few weeks; feel free to visit her at home (maybe just call first to check if she has any appointments on her schedule).
