Yesterday mom expressed a surprising desire to go to a nursing home. We had a good discussion about her fears, concerns and thoughts. I reminded her that her focus has always been on returning home and she should consider giving it a try so she can make a decision based on experience rather than fear. I also reminded her that she is very determined to do as much as she can and her continued positive outlook is an inspiration and motivator for many of us.
The plan for Byron & Colleen to stay at the house has changed. After much soul searching they realized that with their other commitments and schedules it just would not be possible. Their hearts were in the right place and the offer appreciated, but realistically just not feasible. Colleen did say she will be able to do the wound dressing twice a day as planned.
Like Val, I'm hoping the change in weather will provide the opportunity for visits from friends and even if she can't walk the sidewalks, they are pretty bad, she can and did walk her driveway frequently and as long as someone is with her and she should be able to resume that activity as well.
Not sure about baking cookies, but who knows.

You have all had to make a difficult decision. What you have decided seems reasonable.
I am very willing to help in any way. I am pretty free during the week to come by stay with your mom if need be.
