Ready For the Navy
My nephew was sworn into the Navy a few months ago, and has been working hard at getting ready for his departure ever since. He is scheduled to ship out this week, so today we had a family get together. Yesterday, my mom and I went to the party store to see if we could […]
Good Test Review
We received a call from my dad’s cardiologist office today. The doctor already reviewed the stress test from yesterday and wanted to let my dad know that everything looked fine. They will review the details at his next appointment in a couple of weeks, and didn’t want my dad to worry. That was great news and […]
Coincidences Help the Day
I took my dad down to the hospital today for a stress test. The cardiologist just wanted to check things out. My mom hasn’t been feeling well, so instead of waiting with my dad, I dropped him off and went back home for the couple of hours it took to do the test. It snowed […]
Very Compliant
My dad had a follow up visit with the dermatologist today. When we were there a few weeks ago, the doctor “froze” some spots and gave my dad some instructions to help take care of his itchy spots. At today’s appointment, my dad told the doctor about how he was using all the creams and […]
Blessing of Friends and Family
I got my hair cut today and, like any good hair appointment, there was a lot of talking going on. My hair stylist told me about her sister who is going through a divorce. She is living in another state with her 2 children and feels incredibly alone. Her “friends” are no longer there for […]
Blessing in Disguise
A few months ago, my dad, my sister and I went out to purchase a new bed for my mom that would be in place when she came home from a hospital and rehab stay. We wanted a bed that would be easy for her to get in and out of and that would be […]
Done with Antibiotics
Today was my mom’s last day of taking the antibiotics for the recent bout of diverticulitis. She has done so well, she hasn’t even been as nauseous as in the past. She even felt good enough to go to the Parkinson’s support and to church. Today is also the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. […]
Missed the Wind
The weather forecast for today was unusually warm with strong winds. I went out and about this morning and when I returned home, the sun was shining warm and the wind was only a breeze. My mom had sat outside for a while, but had not taken a walk. We try to get out every […]
More Artistic Expression
Today my sisters, brother-in-law, and nephew all came over to celebrate my younger sister’s birthday. She is obsessed with her chickens, so it was a chicken themed party. My older sister and I collaborated to make the birthday cake. I baked the cake and put together a chicken coop out of rice crispie treats. My sister molded little […]
Answered the Call
We are always very careful about answering the land line. If you answer and it is a soicitation – or worse a scam – that triples the amount of calls that come in. Luckily we have caller ID to help figure out if the caller is someone we know or not. Tonight when the phone […]
