Yesterday was a busy day for our girl. She had some good physical therapy and a surprise visit from Tara East. I missed seeing cousin Tara, she couldn't find me but we did chat for a few minutes. Moms' spirits were okay and while she was doing her arm stuff the nurse brought her some pain medication and when asked how bad her pain was mom said about a 7. She was referring to her shoulder but it wasn't stopping her from doing her exercises.
After therapy we had a pleasant visit for a couple of hours. Continuing our conversations about assisted living she is thinking more and more about St Anne Meads primarily because of it's location. While we were talking I noticed her voice was getting that Elaine Stritch quality indicating she was getting tired and she was nodding out. I suggested she might want to take a nap and like any good 2 year old said she wasn't tired.
She finally laid down and I left.
When I got here today, mom was off getting her hair done and I noticed the bed was all the way down to the floor. Don't know why but will persue that when she's returned looking all purdied up, as we say in my part of the world. Yesterday I posed the possibility of going to church on Sunday for the Holiday Music Extravaganza. It made her think about what she could wear. I don't think she was real happy when I said if she goes, it's in the chair, no walker. It will be interesting to see if she has her wardrobe planned out today.
That's it so far, I'm sure more will be revealed in the near future.
This just in, she missed her hair appointment due to PT. I guess that trumps all so it'll get done on Monday. Her bed is lowered so she can put her feet up when she's sitting in her chair during the day. Good idea, wish I had thought of it and surprised she didn't. When asked, she said she's still thinking about church on Sunday. And there she goes, time for her afternoon nap. Later y'all
Thanks for reading
