sarahbyrddThe stepmonster is back home. She was released from the hospital on Friday to nursing home, and checked herself out of the nursing home this morning against doctors orders. They're now sorting out the confusion that comes with a long absence from home and leaving a care facility without the proper release. I will say that I'm glad that she came home before Dad drank himself sick. There's mutterings of getting down to the city before the holidays to collect her "reward" for abstaning from smoking for 6 months.
There was also immediate pressure to come for a visit. "I think you need to come see us", she says. "Are you coming for Thanksgiving?" I said I already had plans for Thanksgiving and I'd see what I could do about the rest. The day she's home from an illness isn't the time to spring the idea that I'm not coming up for a visit longer than an afternoon any time soon. Reminder to self: there's an Al-Anon meeting around the corner tomorrow evening.
