Here are my notes from January 20th: 0620: Connie Wade called, my first conversation with her unsure of her own email address – conniewade@halifax.org? sounded very caring and competent, said mom is on 2500 unit and Rhonda is her nurse today Connie gave me address to send mom cards, etc. Halifax Psychiatric Center 303 N […]
I called Halifax Hospital to see if I could talk to my mom. I figured she’d be scared and anxious about being transferred from Stewart-Marchman ACT to there so abruptly. Unfortunately because it was so late and because of the amazingly consistent inefficiency and incompetence of the healthcare system in Volusia County, nobody there could […]
A discharge coordinator, Rodney Curtis, called me from Halifax Hospital. He said that he called “a few other” ALFs but that he keeps “encountering the same resistance” when trying to find a place where mom can go because of concerns about paying for her prescriptions.

Sophia Mas called me from Stewart-Marchman ACT and, according to AT&T, we talked for about thirty-six minutes.

From: Gagne, Jennifer To: Gagne, David Subject: Thoughts Sent: December 29, 2011 2:37 PM ET Hey, David. I spoke with Dr. Shoemaker’s assistant. All they have are the results from the previous CT-Scan. To get the films and the results, we have to call Halifax Medical, but they will not release them to us […]
I sent this email to my mom’s friend from her church. This kind woman did just about everything she could over the last two or three years of my mom’s life to try to help her get organized, to try to help her get back on her feet. She took her grocery shopping and to […]
While combing through mom’s old computer hard drive in the middle of March, 2013, I found a folder of letters mom had written after her mother — my maternal grandmother — died. “Nana Anna” died on May 4th, 2007 and it just completely devastated mom. It’s a cruel fact that mom died under very similar […]
