My mother is home. I called earlier, to check. No answer. So I gave her a call just a bit ago. It sounds like she is doing well. She is home.
She overdid today, getting things reset, sorted, and all today. I expected she would. There are always so many things to do when one returns from an extended stay. She had a little helper. Little? A young lady, I don't know her age anymore. She skipped school, or they didn't have school, and showed up to help. One day a week, she suggested, to help with anything she might need. Very good.
She is a fighter too. She fights differently, but well. I suspect she will do well this time. Her fellow is helping her set up medicine, and that will help her keep on it. Her appetite is good. And her wanting to be home is strong. Set up, for the day. And for a while. She will be going out to stay with her friend again soon, as well. After she has her house arranged. Which, actually, is his house. Yea. His other house.
I haven't done much. It is so cool. It is taking the legs out from under me. I am hoping, yet, to do more. And, think I may. I may have to begin dressing much warmer. It went from being in the 80s just a bit ago, to just barely making it to 70, or not quite, recently... as highs. This really is cool.
As well, I will stop opening the upstairs window, except at bedtime. Closing that up during the day might help keep the house warmer, and gather what of the sun is possible up there, and in the attics. Tricks, and processes, attempts at this and that. Nothing is ever sure.
Yeah, hitting the dishes at least once... doing at least some clearing of the counters... starting in on some laundry... Nothing fancy, just starts and continuations. So tired, though, and cold. I have the furnace up to 74. I... am going to try to just dress warmer. Hmm, I need some long sleeve tees. Desert Cat got roughly talked me into buying a few. And, honestly, they are amazing. I just need a few more. Hooded are really good.
I did contact the driver. He is going, still, but had a friend ask to go tonight. All good. So he is still going out. How long he will run is a different story. Still, perhaps another night, tomorrow night. Maybe through the week. As mentioned, nothing is for sure.
Hmm... yes. Those things, perhaps, and a shower too. I'll have to hit the dishes to begin a shower. At least clean them a shot, then set them aside. Later. Possibly good night. Not sure I'll be back on.
Very good to hear your mother is progressing so well!
ReplyDeleteI think just being back home is a real boost. Also glad she has some help.
I was rather worried. Still am. But it sounds like she has... some backup, coverage of areas. Thanks, Jean. It is good just having her home. It's just, I think my brother would rather she be in a home, where she is "safe". I get it, I do. But if I have my way, she will, someday, die out freeranging. Not safe, but... home.
ReplyDeleteAt least she has her wits more about her, and people to help. Thanks again.
Oh, and don't think I hate my brother over this. Just a... difference of opinion, and maybe even natures. But he has so much on his plate, that safe, anything, anywere, must seem better. And, who knows, maybe he is right. Check.
