re: Groundhog Day :)

[Guest guest]

-- Thanks so much for the chuckle! Loved the Groundhog Day

comparison!!!! I needed that as there are an awful lot of posts to

read today! And I visit this site daily.

When my Dad was in Psych ward (before we knew about LBD), he was

always packing. Like you, I'd just unpack when I got there. He was

very worried about his luggage being left on dock 9C (which was his

ward number!).

We finally got all the nurses, etc., to say that I had gone to the

dock and taken care of his luggage. This seemed to work. He still

brought it up, but accepted that it had been dealt with.

It is definitely helpful to have all individuals speaking

same " message " .

Enjoy your Groundhog Days!
