This extra long gap is due to a completely unexpected twist. As I was headed for the Louisiana trip, I had word my sister had fallen and broken her leg. This all occurred as Houston also was clipped by the hurricane and therefore phone services were impacted as well as lots of power outages. My sister managed to get through to my brother who called me. Then there was a gap until we learned she had been transferred to a rehab center. Which brings us to the fact that her being released from the center was going to be problematic due to a number of factors I won’t get into. Therefore, my sister really needed me to come and help out for a bit. The entire week has been muddled not being certain of when she would be discharged, etc., plus me trying to make arrangements for things to get done or put on hold and what have you.

Anyway, I am here and will go see her tomorrow to spend some time and provide my brother-in-law a bit of relief. She will be discharged Monday and that way I can be there to find out what assistance will be provided for how long and where the gaps are. Then comes finding out what actual resources are available here.

More to follow.
