UPDATE: Newsflash...

Remember the nurse from hell who ran my son's agency? The one who held me over a barrel (no other agency could handle his care)and just about put me over the edge?

She is returning in 2 weeks from 4 months in Asia - just as I get home from Florida. I dread being around her. While she was away - her business partner (nurse practitioner) and one of my workers (who now runs the office) have been handling things. And doing an extremely good job. They are pleasant to deal with.

Anyway - I just learned that she will NOT be assuming her role in Ryan's life. She will be working in the community but it seems - not with me. There had been a couple of meetings prior to her departure with myself, the nurse practitioner and hospital and I'm sure it was evident that there was no love lost between us. And I'm betting that her business partner realized this change would be for the better. SO - for the first time since I moved 2 years ago - I really feel like I might be able to relax and enjoy my home. That woman had taken over my life - constantly in my home, on the phone and making huge demands on me.

Life just got better.
