If I Told You , You Wouldn’t Believe Me

Wow! I had no idea the effect my mass email from my mom’s yahoo account would have! Christina is extremely happy to have you all sign up and I have been having fun answering emails and reading your comments here about mom. Keep them coming please!

Bert left first yesterday, Jess left next and finally Shane, who will be back in two weeks. (He got a free ticket by giving up a seat somewhere along the way). We all had a good time together. (The red army is strong lol!)

The case worker from hospice came yesterday afternoon. She wrote down my needs and concerns and I think she’ll do her best to help. We also got the CNA schedule for mom’s baths set up and I arranged for Direct TV to bring a box so she can watch TV in her room. After all that I got a little teary eyed. Not sure why. I think it might have been coz I will now be basically alone with mom but had I known the next turn of events I might not have been so weepy.

Jack got laid off for a few days. That might seem bad, but to me it’s a blessing! He is really good with mom and is a real strong he-man type so he can help move her if I need him to. He’ll sit with her while she smokes (I hate it and will prolly only do it if forced. I don’t even have any friends who smoke these days) Yeah, the loss of income will hurt but we are not destitute so I’m not worried about that.

She slept well last night…I was worried when she said she wanted to go to bed at 6:20 PM but I let her coz I knew she had been up since 1 AM or so. She does SOOOOOOO much better when she’s rested up! She slept through the night with no potty accident and got up at 4AM. I was already awake so I stayed up with her and fixed us both eggs and hash browns. You’ll be happy to know Mary’s eating like a dang pig!!!
