PT comes this afternoon to start her in home therapy. Maybe that will help. But I have to say, I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I don't know how long we can justify keeping her at home if she clearly does so much better in a facility with 24/7 care.

Basically all the same bullshit and bad decisions as before, minus her looking like she could hit the ground with every step. (She's still at risk for fall, she just doesn't look like she could keel over at any second.)
I'm trying to hope that it was just emotional exhaustion on her first day back,

just wouldn't get up and go. She got snappish with me when I asked her, for the fourth or fifth time, to please go get ready for bed. We had a fight when she wanted to do the dishes instead of her eye mask (medical treatment, not beauty treatment) and bedtime pills.

The implosion of twitter is probably the thing that’s had the biggest direct impact on me in the last couple of years. I had a strong community over there, and while I’ve found some folks again, I still feel really disconnected. It’s not the horror some are experiencing, but it’s not nothing.
