elevator blues.

seems the elevators took on water from the efforts to put out
the flames at my mom's highrise. so even tho everything else is fine at the building and only the 1 apt. where the fire started is bad, no one is allowed in until the elevators are fixed and inspected.

now, i can understand that as far as the elderly are concerned but tons of them have family members (like me and the rest of this "happy" little group)
that want to go and get clothes and meds etc. for their relatives.(and yes, they do know us there and we did get some things out the other day so they know who we all are)
well, they aren't allowing that anymore. hey, i can walk the 6 flights up. i'm not that old!
anyway, we had to go and get all new prescriptions filled AND the oxygen people had to deliver a new machine here cause her's is in her bedroom there. my sister had to go to the store and buy some clothes for mom cause she only had what she was wearing wed. when the fire happened.
and who knows how her cat is. THAT'S what's really upsetting her.
they said today that they are feeding the cats that are in the apartments(mom pays extra to have her cat)but cindy is old and weird and pretty much hates everyone but my mom so i don't even know if she made it thru or not cause she hides and a lot of the chemicals used to clean the smoke from the air are, i'm told, toxic.

so, that's what i've been doing. mom's mad cause they say they might not let the residents back til monday. she doesn't want to stay here any longer than she must cause she's very independent even at her age(soon to be 89)


cross your fingers for the cat. thanks, sherry
