Today’s events will be a boon to bank accounts, but it’s unclear wether medical outcomes will benefit or suffer. Yesterday, phone interviews with assisted living facilities produced the conclusion that my mother needed more care than they could provide. Today, with the Baker Act placement ending and my mother’s insurance coverage exhausted, the hospital has decided that an assisted living facility is ideal.

You know what I’m thinking? As it happens, I’m trying to do as little thinking as possible right now. It’s my defense mechanism du jour.
