Back to Therapy
We have been trying for months to get my mom back into physical therapy. She has had some physical setbacks and we have been having problems getting a referral from a doctor. We finally got the appointment and made it in today. We went back to the same place that she was a year ago. […]
Returned Lost Rosary
A while ago, I decided I wanted some kind of hobby. I don’t really have a lot of free time, but I wanted to do something creative and easy that I could spend a little time on or a lot. I remembered a friend of mine that I would see waiting in church tying knots […]
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 […]
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. […]
Loving Reminder
This morning I read a brief article that included the words of Jesus in John 15:5, “…without me you can do nothing.” During the day I thought of the many times I have relied on God to get me through a rough time, to keep me from doing the wrong thing, to restrain my not […]
Napping Weather
It was an icy, snowy, foggy, cold, dark day today. I was so glad I got all my errands done yesterday. It was the perfect weather for napping. My mom was not feeling very well today so she napped quite a bit. It just seemed to work out fine. I was glad she was able […]
Supporting the Military
My dad and I spent some time at the Department of Motor Vehicles today to get some business taken care of. Some of the people there thanked him for his service when they realized he has retired from the military. We talked about that later on with my mom. Not so many years ago, the […]
God’s With Mom
I was glad that my mom felt even better today. Her friend came over as usual, but my mom was only up for playing one piano duet as opposed to several. It sounded pretty good to me. I could see her struggle, but she did what she could. I asked her tonight how she found […]
