Made it through this year. I just smiled from the sidelines, played nice, never engaged in discouraging conversation. Not planning to see my sister again.

Thanks, Ginger, for letting us know you made it through relatively unscathed. Sounds like you have a good plan!

Hurrah!!! It's over. His spent most of Ch.eve bidding
our son around with petty things that could've waited.
Also cranked around with the thermostat that apparently
he no longer knows how to operate. Up and down
from his chair, which is a real struggle and then give steps to the thermo. Can't stand for more than a minute,
Plops into desk chair then we can't get up and out of it
back into the lift chair which he hates to use. Repeat
give or six times. Then he stands up and announces he
needs to pee! Where's the pee bottle?!?! This in front
of company.
Then the icing on the cake the hot water water links
our in the main bath. Ho ho ho! His sis and bil
are coming fri. They're very nice people. Hope they
offer to bring lunch...maybe babysit for 10 or 12 hrs.
Oh well, it could be worse, and it most likely will.
Hope all of you survived mostly intact. There's a special
place for us.

We had a nice Christmas Eve day at my dad's place by taking him out of SNF/rehab to the brunch. We left him in good spirits wth plans for the wheelchair van to bring him to our home for Christmas Day dinner and he was in a good mood. However....He arrived on Christmas in the foulest mood and complained about everything and anything. No reason why the 180 change in less than 24hrs other than dementia. My poor sister had to keep him occupied while I made dinner. Anyway he finally changed his mood as we sat down to dinner and then we got him back in the van about 2.5 hours later. Not the day we expected...it was sad. After he left we broke out the wine and played Mexican train!! Needless to say this will be his last trip to our home.

Harpcat,
Sounds like a good idea leaving him where he is in his current state. Visit him there and then go home for your own celebration. Wish I could do that.
