@Soupe du jour:

Thanks for your support and for being here and being your buoyant self! It is a joy to read your posts, so full of adventures in baking and travel.

Yes, my neighbor Lynne is still with us, or at least she was when the paramedics took her away. She doesn't have a very good quality-of-life tho. Getting dialysis is a burden and she has trouble functioning.

I saw a notice posted on her door warning her to stop doing laundry in her unit as this causes plumbing back-ups in other units and is strictly forbidden. I've seen Personal Support Workers coming and going recently, so she is getting help and my neighbor Louise takes delivery of her meds for her when she is not available. Louise is sooooooo helpful!

Perhaps it's time for Lynne to get into a nursing home as @Jennifer 1967 is facing with her brother. It's nice to stay at home for as long as possible, but Lynne obviously needs more help than can be provided by in-home assistance.

Is your kidney trouble med-related?
