Light a candle

[Tommi]

Please put some special thoughts and prayers out there for Bernie. Bernie has been writing to me from her hospital bed about getting help for my estranged wife Peggie, with the insurance and doctors and other helpful hints for Peg. In the midst of what she is going through, she has been thinking of Peg's portable oxygen needs, and sending me info.

Our friend Bernie who lives in Northern Calif. may lose her lower leg if this 3rd knee reconstruction doesn't take hold and the infection doesn't clear. She has been hospitalized for most of the last 10 months due to complications and infections. The original knee replacement was removed, then they put in a plate and no knee, and last week they cleaned that all up and have tried another artificial knee. Bette visits her daily.

She really is in need of prayers and some cheering up. Bette and Bernie have celebrated 37 years together. After visiting Bernie Bette took the train from Sacramento to LA for her nieces birthday. She never drives long distance without Bernie in the car. A bunch of ols friends got together for a pizza party at Peg's. Bette is worried about Bernie, because she is so depressed over this 3rd set of complications... and asked that we all stay in touch. I'll get her address for Get Well Cards and let you know.

Best Regards.

Tommi

Peg's Granddaughte Kristal Rose and her friend Kim drove down to rescue Gramma Peggie. Along w/Great kids Kyle (7) and Avril (4) (who Peg has never seen drove from Nampsa Oregonn. They gave Peggie new life and helped her come back to life, got Peg's son Fred's actions revoked, and all is good so far.

Leia, the grandaughter we raised arrives at LAX Wed.s night.
Many know I have been away, traveling from my work and my house to take care of my ex partner who is very ill, family matters of her cargiving needs since it has been solely me since I took her to the hospital Mid. Sept. She was a heaver smoker and it has taken a serious toll. She is on a Positive Air oncentrator, 4L of Oxygen 24/7, sees heart, lung, eye and primary care Doc's at least once a week. I travel 50 miles round trip form my house to hers. The family is all out of state..Until end of March when her son came, ransacked her house, took her coins and paper money collection, her car, and sent her furniture to Vancouver , WA. and drove her car to his house. His wife had made a lost....He took her to the banks, made himself beneficiary, Power of Attorney, took her to the Auto Club, ordered dup. title. to car, dup. deed to house, closed her PO Box, canceled the gardner meals on wheels, Bottled water, and had real estate agents appraising the house. Giving away hundreds of art books, original oil paintings, and HIS SISTER, HER GRAND AND GREATGRAND KIDS knew NOTHING about what he was doing to this poor sick woman. He had her scheduled for a flight on 4/11/12 and his wife was to pick Peggie up at Portland airport. He had NO Oxygen, No plans to see a Doctor until 4/18, the wife's primary care in WA, A a gynecologist. I called this Doc, dexscibed Peggie's condition, COPD, CHF, bilateral edema of her feet n legs. Doc said she had no idea Peggie was sick, just that her Daughter in Law made the appoint the day I was sitting at Peg's . She would not have survived the flight, or staying in the room he was going to rent to her for $500.oo

Peg was to fly out Wed. the 11th, Salvation Army was to come and clean out the 2,600 Sq. foot house, what they did not take would be left, and he had an 18 ton dumpster scheduled for 3 days that week.

NO ONE KNEW... I made my usual Frida call about visiting and she said Fred is here and he is taking me to his house....NOT..all is okay, for today.

I am late for work, but needed to get this out of my head, and my heat.

Thanks for being there, understanding and the energy and love you have sent our way.

I notified everyone, the Doctor's here, The Doc;s the Gyne said she would refer her to & her case mananger, etc. ALL came to a halt. The Doc's here said they would not realease her, and would see her on her routine appt. May 1. Fred had to cancel the Jet Blue flight from Long Beach to Portland.

AT & T called Sat, to ask where to send the closing bill for her telephone about to be turned off Monday. They have been getting and opeing her mail sine 3/30. Kristal did all the mail changes, Revoked Power of Attorny, and put herself there, and went to all the banks and had him removed as beneficiary. Do ya see how easy Elder Abuse is?

Leai, Peggie and I see an Attorney Friday to see what else she can dp to protect herself. Her case manager wanted to call Adult Protective Services, but she said no. He is not my son anymore. My daughter and my grandkids need to know what their Uncle Fred did to me, so it will stop happening.

Caregive and living at home is her option, and Grandkids agree. Assisted living wouldn't suit her for now.

So, burn the candles bright, surround her with protective light, and strength to heal and to carry on.
