In my first post in this blog, I explained how I'd spent my adult life trying to avoid going into a nursing home, and that I'd failed. I didn't consider the matter closed, however. I said I was in overtime.
Well, this is my final post from the nursing home. With help and support from my family, and with the help of Melissa Justice, John Dickerson, and Jill Ginn of the ARC of Indiana, of Laura Fife, Kelly Crawford, and Alicia Patterson of Insights Consulting-- plus, so I understand, people I don't know-- I have won in overtime. I leave here Monday, to move into my own apartment. I will miss some of the people here, but I am ready to move into the next phase of my life. Finally, in my own home.
This makes me very, very happy! So glad for you Greg! Can't wait to hear about life in your new home.
