03-11-23 Respite Day for Me
I didn’t sleep as well as I hoped but once I was up and relaxing I started to feel a bit better. It helped that Mom’s cousin Donna went to visit her this morning and reported back that she seemed to be doing well. I took time for me to rest and watch Women Talking which was some powerful and then to start Triangle of Sadness which I will finish tonight. I did make sure to eat a nice Cobb Salad and fill my tank. I got ready to volunteer at Key City tonight, picked up my consignment earnings from a pair of shoes I sold and then stopped to visit with Mom for a couple hours. I was pleased to find her up sitting in a chair and gleefully doing her exercises. I met her nurse for the next three days, Jesse and he was very thorough in getting me to fill in the blanks, promised to watch for her pain levels after dinner and even got the Dr to come talk to me. Dr. Nishi is a lovely human being. She assured me there are no issues with her heart and that they will still be doing an ultrasound of her Thyroid and getting an MRI done. The problem is that her bottom partial denture won’t come out although she had it out on Thursday night. She has to get it loose for the MRI or they will only be able to do a CT scan. Of course the MRI will show much more detail so I have mom constantly trying to get the denture out. Her spirits seemed much better and I hope her evening is going better. Now that I am home she is not answering her texts so I am hoping it is because she is sleeping.
I did finish a puzzle on Thursday night that was fun to do and will start one tonight that is only 500 pieces but may prove to be more challenging.
It was good for me to volunteer bartend the night, refilled my emotional tank a bit
