Today I started my garden. I planted Radishes, Onions, Cilantro, Swiss chard, Zucchini squash, Lettuce, Beans, Butternut squash, and cabbage. Now I just have to wait until they grow.
Monday was a fun day for mom. Louise and Dave came by to visit and then Robby stopped by. She didn't eat anything all day, but she did have a little juice. She was pretty out of it most of the day, but didn't sleep until the afternoon. And she still manages a smile now and then. This morning she woke up on her own and was smiling and trying to tell me things. How I wish I knew what those things were. I only gave her Lor tab this morning, with instructions to the aide that we could give her morphine if she seemed to be in too much pain. Megan said she moved very easily and did really well. I was thinking that maybe she would eat a little bit if she wasn't so drugged up. Not the case. I tried some yogurt and then some ensure shake, which she just let fall out of her mouth. She's all cleaned up now, with new clothes and just smiling at whoever walks by. I guess she is just not going to eat anymore.
Tonight at enrichment I was chosen to get a "makeover". It included a haircut and make-up. My hair had gotten very long, and I was so ready to get it cut. I don't think I would have gone so short normally, but the whole excitement of the evening made me feel a little daring and giddy. So here I am. Way short hair, blown straight, and wearing makeup. Now I'm home, Scott is at work and won't see the new me until I've slept all night. I'm betting on him not even noticing until 4 minutes have passed. The boy says he can't take me seriously with my hair flipping up on the sides. Whatever.
It has been a rough couple of days for Mom. She seems to be in more pain lately. The hard thing is she can't really tell me all the time. I can see her wince, but when I ask her she says, "No". Tonight I gave her some medicine and then was trying to get her to eat a little. She started crying and I said, "No crying Mom. You can't eat and cry at the same time." To which she replied, "I'm sorry. I'm trying to do what's right." We both cried a lot tonight.
