Thanks, Rosi! Yes, perhaps it will help with the grieving process going back. Of course we want to attend the funeral service(s). Right now we're unsure if my brother's funeral will take place when our father's is. Or what will happen with that one. There is an extra stress-inducing factor relating to our brother and our brother's estate. Very complex!

I am staying in the US for a good bit to help my sister with a myriad of things. It's not a simple situation and there will be a lot of work to do. My husband will help with many things, too.

I already packed all of the medications I will need for the trip. Tomorrow I have a nephrologist appointment in the afternoon and need to go to the pharmacy. It made no sense to cancel it, given some circumstances. I did reschedule my psychiatrist and gynecologist appointments. When I return, I'll have them and then also an endocrinologist appointment. No rest for the weary!
