“Yours truly” is experiencing a “hiccup” in her life, a “bump in the road,” Blog messages will resume at a later date. Please keep me in your prayers.

Pretend there is a long paragraph of information here with details regarding preparation for the move. I haven’t the energy to write… nor the heart.

During the mildly strenuous work, I sprained my ankle. Gratefully, I didn’t fall; I was able to grab one of the garden decorations for support. However, with the “almost fall,” I twisted my back. Hence: “Oh, my aching back.”

Energizer bunny, NOT!! I’m utterly exhausted!! Pictures taken AFTER my labors on Thursday afternoon and evening, and Friday morning (this morning). Furthermore, I was in contact with something that has me frantically itching and scratching!!

A friend contacted me because I hadn’t posted a message today. “Are you OK?”  I had to confess I am not OK!! Sleep deprived; depression; headache; heartache!! ~~ Details will be documented before the end of November.

Below, read the positive review(s) I wrote (May 29, 2015, June 3, 2015, & June 5, 2015) regarding Escapees CARE Center, Livingston, Texas. Those were my heartfelt sentiments. Across the top of CARE Facebook page, that’s my picture displaying the Center, and the Thrift ‘n Gift Shop (a shop that received many donations as I was “downsizing.”)

 So sorry to hear Lorraine Edwards has been evicted because she complained about the food. I hope all complaints are not handled this way. Fear is not a good way to run an organization such as CARE. – Steve Maunder

Chronological

Lorraine Frantz Edwards “Steve,” SINCERE THANKS for your sympathy during this very stressful time in my life. It was my intention to make Escapees CARE, Inc. “my forever home.” ~~ Posted on a bulletin board in the hall of CARE Center, “Escapees CARE Inc., Rights of the Elderly.” Point #7 says “An elderly individual is encouraged and assisted in the exercise of an individual’s rights. An individual may voice grievances or recommend changes in policy or service without restraint, interference, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal.” ~~ Posted… but ignored.

Marge – I feel that Lorraine should have been handled differently from the day she moved into CARE. CARE needs to have an employee who has the experience in geriatric personalities. There is a measure of experience needed that the director does not have. The residents at CARE have a person who can handle the management of CARE but they also need a person who has the experience to handle the problems of the elderly. –  Steve Maunder
