Busy Tuesday

Another busy Tuesday for our gal Ruth. Before we even left for her appointment with Dr. Weissman, she had physical therapy at home.Tanya came along to her visit with Dr. Weissman. He reviewed and reduced the number of medications she needs to take, and commended her on her positive attitude (she was fairly upbeat). She weighed in at 103 pounds, fully clothed.

Since it was around noon by the time we got done, we decided to go out to lunch at the Olga's Kitchen on 12 Mile and Southfield. Advice to any who may dine there: avoid the waiter named Jon. Following our rather strange meal, I suggested that since we were so close to Priscilla's house that we drop by. Mom managed to get up the steps into Priscilla's house, where she was having physical therapy. It was rather poignant to listen to their conversations. Here they were, these two young women who suddenly (to them) became old and frail.


They said their goodbyes and we returned to Meadowlark. Mom was adamant about making the cookies that they didn't get to on Monday, but it wasn't even five minutes after she sat in her chair that she dozed off. No cookie baking on Tuesday. Maybe they got to it today.

This coming weekend Kim will be staying with Mom. Next Tuesday is another trip to the wound clinic. We certainly know how to have fun!
