Friends and Family...

Hi faithful followers of Janet's blog!

Many, many, many of you have offered to help once my parents are home. Here is your opportunity! I am setting up a schedule of visitors for June and July so that my Dad will receive some well deserved breaks (or my mom can kick him out of the house). My mom may be pretty high maintenance until she gets her halo off. So please email me directly (j_twardoski@hotmail.com) and let me know if/when you are available. For those of you who may be traveling from out of town, my parents want to offer their guest bedroom for the duration of your stay. For those of you in Roseville, probably just plan on a 4 hour visit and/or providing a meal. Ideally we will have a mix of folks who can visit during the work week (allowing my dad to run errands, etc) plus evenings, weekends, and overnighters. Once I have the grand plan set up, I will either email it or post it on the blog.

Staying with my mom will not require any medical training! Sorry for TMI, but by the time she gets home she should be totally independent to go to the bathroom. She will just need help with household type stuff that will be difficult from a wheelchair.

Hi Jill...You guys are certainly organized. Dave and I will be available to help, but I am not sure about a specific date right now. Since we are only 1 1/2 hours away, we can be more flexible than those who live farther. So. I'll wait until you post the first schedule and we will see what gaps we can fill. I can't believe we are planning Janet's homecoming so soon! Your mom is amazing. Love, Donna

I hate it that we are not close enough to be among the caregivers; but we are thrilled you will be going home and evidently going first class (sort of). At least you won't be crammed in between two other people and stuffed in a seat with no leg room. Guess those are not big consolations, huh? But at least you are going home where things are as you like them, where there will be friends everywhere you turn. Love you both so much and am rejoicing.
