Chores
Hi Friends,
Today I spent mostly doing chores at home...laundry, cleaning out the litterbox, paying some bills, paperwork, etc. and lots of time looking online at various available resources and such. I won't go into that now, but I'll let you know about it at some point soon, I promise, I just don't have the heart to write about it at the moment. At least there are clean sheets on the bed for tonight! Now I just have to tackle the dishes.
When I arrived today, Pat Hunter was there paying mom a visit (her boss)...he was thoroughly enjoying himself, though when I got there mom was on the phone with Betty and Sofie. She talked for a bit, and he stuck around a bit longer before he had to go home to dinner, but he was so sweet to bring flowers for mom again. As usual, they're very beautiful. Mom definitely enjoyed his visit!
Right after Pat left, we went into the dining room for dinner...I had brought a frozen Lean Cuisine to eat with her, and Lilly arrived to eat with us too! She just brought some small stuff to eat, and of course mom was continually offering us some of her food again...always the hostess...but she actually did pretty well with eating a good amount tonight...the most I've seen her eat so far...and she didn't spit anything out! :) She did pour a little bit of milk in her Coke (eww!!!), but she drank it anyway...she likes pouring things. When we were done with dinner, we wheeled back to her room and Lilly had to leave, but mom made sure to tell her she should come back tomorrow! :) Then we just went for a little stroll in the hallway (she in her wheelchair...I can't get her up to walk without it being physical therapy quite yet) and hung out...she was her social self as usual. Then we went back to her room and I got her back in bed so she could go to bed for the night.
Going to try to go to bed early tonight, since I've still been waking up early no matter what time I go to bed. Lots to do tomorrow, so I need my rest. Please, I really really need your support and love right now...my anxiety level is increasing by the minute...I need some encouragement and comeraderie. This discharge planning is almost worse than anything I've gone through so far in this whole thing. I need you now more than ever.
