Things have taken a turn for the worse with m+d -- m fell and fractured pelvis and shoulder a week ago Friday. Was it only last weekend? Yes I think that's right. Spent two or three nights in the ER before they got her a room. Had some internal bleeding from the fractures that caused her blood pressure to plunge. Surgery ensued, eventually -- two screws were inserted in her lower back. She was moved to a rehab facility on Wednesday. May be there for six weeks (!). No visitors allowed, because of COVID. 

Meanwhile, d not doing well. Losing his grip on getting dressed, hygiene, and time itself. David is there with him until the end of the month, and then I will be there for a few weeks (maybe?). The idea is to move them to assisted living somewhere outside Chicago. I'm not sure we're going to get that far. It is getting to be the end. But it is better to have a plan. 

Went to see Patricia M today with nb. She is looking really good, and moving quite well. Only a few months younger than m+d.
