So yeah – still mom.

So I have been sitting up here with mom since about 2 this afternoon.  It is now almost 6 pm.  I don’t believe I will be going home any time soon.  While she is week she is still her feisty ol self.

She has stuck her tongue out at me, told me to back off or I would have trouble, and told me she would smack my butt if I didn’t behave.  So yeah – still mom. 

Kathy came up to see mom today.  Kathy is my brothers ex-wife.  She is so nice.  Mom likes to have her visit.  And Kathy works for the hospice care place that we are going to be using. She was actually very helpful today even if she wasn’t working with us yet.  She sorta evaluated mom without her knowing it and found out about what meds she was on.  Guess there will be more next week.

Mom doesn’t seem to want to at much at all anymore.  And when she does the food is too nasty. They have started her on some protein shakes.  She liked it tonight.  So we shall see if she will drink it for us tomorrow also.

She was telling us a story earlier about some bird that flew up her dress.  Not sure when this happened as she hasn’t worn a dress in years.  But when I asked her why it flew up there she said there was a nest up there.  LOL.  Not sure what she was talking about but it gave us all a laugh.  Then she told me to be quiet so no one would hear us talking about it.   

The nurses have said they are going to give her a shower tonight.  Its been over a week and I have complained 3 or 4 times.  When I told them we were having hospice come in and help out they suddenly started hopping.  Shower and protein drink all in one day!  Bout time these girls started moving!!  I shouldn’t complain.  No one has mistreated mom and she really likes some of the ladies that work with her every day.  Especially Brandy, and on the other side there is Debby and Kerry.   

Well mom is falling asleep in her chair.  I think we need to see if we can get her into bed.   Maybe Ill post more later.  I’ll be here a while.
