T I R E D, but here’s a post anyhow
April 21st, 2008 . by JoyceHere is a quick little post, right before bed. It has been such a busy day; I am tired beyond all reason, but had to pop on the internet quickly to visit a few friends’ blogs and do a wee post myself before retiring for the night.
I was thankful today to move my mom from the extended care facility where she has been for the past two weeks (after having the generator in her pacemaker replaced) back to the lovely assisted living apartment which she has called “home” for the past year. Once there, she demonstrated for me her proficiency doing various tasks while using her walker, which is a good thing.
We think we have a good plan to strengthen her. She will have physical therapy twice a week and I will constantly be asking her if she is doing any walking besides just walking to the elevator to go to the dining room for meals.
I am also thankful:
- to Rebecca for doing the laundry while I was out helping my mom,
- to Lydia for cleaning up the kitchen,
- to Debra for vacuuming the house, and
- to all of them for feeding themselves “catch-as-catch-can” fashion, so I didn’t have to hear the lament, “What’s for dinner?” at 9p.m.

Glad to hear that your mom is back home and that things can get back to normal for you. Aren’t daughters so helpful? They just know what to do and when it is needed!!

Nice to hear from you, Marmee. Yep, helpful kiddos are the greatest! Bring ‘em on. I REALLY needed the help, and appreciate it, too.
Well good, I’m glad she’s finally back “home”
Hopefully she will realize that she should be doing some walking. Sometimes the simplest things are the biggest helps.
Also glad that the girls were such good helpers–they’re nice that way!
