Campmeeting--Day 8--Friday

I spent about an hour on the phone talking to the social worker, etc. and missed the 9 a.m. meeting. I went to the 11:00 service, it ran late so I had to leave before it was over. I went to the Snack Shop and got some lunch--T arrived from the 11:00 service just as I was finishing lunch. I left about 12:30 to go to Mr. M's to meet with the social worker.

The social worker pulled in right behind me at Mr. M's. She explained his options--hire a sitter (out of pocket at $12/hr.) or go to an assisted living. She said there was a good assisted living place in Gallatin that had an opening. I asked if he wanted to look at it. He said he did--so the social worker left and we got ready to go.

We got to the assisted living--very near the hospital and doctors' offices (they would take him to his appointments). It is small--only 20something residents. It was very clean and attractive. We were shown the two rooms they had available. Mr. M said he would do the paperwork right then and signed up. We stayed for supper--quite acceptable. I took him home and got him settled for the night--pills, cats fed, etc.--then returned to campmeeting.

I had to stop at the store for perishable food for Sabbath meals. I got back to the tent just as the sun was setting and put things away. I got to the auditorium at 8:10--the preacher wrapped up his sermon at 8:20.

Time spent with Mr. M: 7 1/2 hours
Meetings attended: 1+
