they're sending Ed home

He's not ready to go home.

My brother still isn't able to take care of himself or help someone else to take care of him, who is still prone to very stubborn (to put it nicely) fits where he either won't move or tries to leave the hospital, and episodes of paranoid-schitzophrenia.

Oh, they were trying to find a visiting nurse that they could get out there for 20 minutes a day to help, but they had not even found one yet (but they were still going to send him home even though they hadn't found one).

Can we say, "FUCK NO" people?

but they're still sending him home.

WI results. Or, a gain is sometimes not a good thing

Over the last 2 weeks I gained 3.5, so I'm back up to 227.8 lbs.

Some of it is probably from the stress and not so careful eating while I was up in Albany for my brother.

Some of it may be because I used to eat more in the day and now I'm trying to save the majority my points for the night, which means that either I don't eat all of my points of I'm eating the wrong sort of things.

And I've not been journaling, so I have to start tracking again. I'm usually good for the first day or so, then hit the weekend and don't track then don't start tracking again on Monday.

I also had hit a point where I went down in my daily allowance points, and similar things happened the last time I changed points categories (but not enough to put me back over the threshold like this time).

Start weight 272.8 Current 227.8 Net change -45
Start 6/9/04, 10% on 9/15/04 next goal - the next 10 lbs
Decending the decades: 270-6/23, 260-7/8, 250-8/15, 240-10/13, 230-4/13/05

Camp space for Southern Region War Camp/Pennsic

Who's going to Southern Region War Camp at the end of July? It is the first time that marnen and I will be going and it would be nice to camp with/near people we already know.

And jeeze... I just realized that since I'm going to Pennsic, I need a place to camp if possible. Does anyone have any ideas? (also contact infor for McPharlain and Northpass would be appreciated)

I'm going to North Region War Camp this weekend, so I should be able to see McPharlain there...

Update on Ed

He's home... and going around the back end of the houses to go to Aunt Glady's he got lost.
She lives two doors away.
At one point is asked Mom who she was.

He still realizes that something's not right.

Mom says that one of the doctors told her that the infection itself was cleared up.

All the meds that he's on seem to be depression related. And he has an appointment for a psychatrist next week.

Chad- Mom asks that you call so she can give you the names of the meds (figuring you'd know more about them then the rest of us).

happens to be day 1 of my week anyway, since I weighed in last night :)

Ed's heading back to the hospital

He went outside and badly freaked out one of the ladies who lives next door. I'll post more details as I know them.
