When you get an answer

This move is a series of questions that need answers. One by one, the questions are asked. And receiving a definite response is arduous at times. For instance: Are there appropriate services in each state in the DC area for Sarah? The answers took months to acquire. Lots of phone calls, emails and "I'll get back to you". One by one I checked off the answers. It seemed to take forever. Then there were the financial issues. More questions asked, mathematic problems to be solved. And one by one the financial end fell into place. Then there is the nursing license transition, more calls and research. And our health insurance changes. Can that go smoothly?

Underlying all these answers is the big question: Can this move be done?  All of these issues have to have a positive answer, or we just can't do it, no matter how much I want to. Today I received another important answer. I needed to know if the company that installed Sarah's bed can come out to disassemble it, so I can physically get it moved out of the house. The answer is finally Yes. Another item checked off the list. It is such a good feeling to get an answer!

This week begins the process of finding an apt down there.  Can we find a place to live that has no stairs and not too far from Jimmy? Lots of bullet points that this apartment has to address so that I can take care of Sarah properly and get her into and out of. Another box waiting to be checked. And then I have to find a company willing to put her bed back together once its in her room. I am getting ahead of myself.....

That's where we are now. Jimmy is pounding the pavement. Fingers crossed.
