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.
Good days have been followed by bad days. Yesterday Mom had a yeast infection and a new bed sore. She didn't want to eat. She still smiles, but was very calm and serious. This morning, as most mornings, she had a lot of pain from her shoulder. Her hand is still swollen. She is only eating a little yogurt and ensure. But she seems in good spirits today. It's hard to say. She really livens up when the kids get home.
