Good Afternoon! Petra and I are (nearly) done with the flu and getting back in command of our household. No time to relax, though, as I will be heading up north to my parents tomorrow. As the car is still nor running, I´ll take the train, which means doubling travel time. First, a 15 minute walk to the train station, then a 35 minute ride to Hamburg, where I will be changing trains after a twenty minute wait. Another 100 minutes´ train ride will take me to Schleswig, where I will have to take a bus to my parent´s place. Leaving around 9am, I´ll be arriving at 1pm - a lot of time for a 120 mile trip! Actually, I am looking forward to the train ride. My Dad will be released from the hospital in a week´s time. As my parents have changed their minds again, I will have to see that the house is ready to receive him by then. He needs an special bed, a special toilet and some fixtures and gadgets in the shower. All the carpets have to be removed to reduce the danger of him tripping and falling. Rails have to be fixed along the walls in the aisle. His current office has to be cleared and furnished for a household help, who will also look after him and my mother. That household help has to be recruited. Most likely a girl from Poland, which will impose a problem of its own.  Lots of running around waiting for me! I still think my parents would be better off in a nursing facility. I can´t picture them having some strange person with them 24/7. Somehow, I have a hunch that I will be hunting for a place in a nursing home pretty soon! Would only be the fourth time within the last 12 months... Have a good one!
