03-30-23 What a difference a year makes
One year ago I was prepping for surgery in the morning. I was terrified. It was that fear that changed me. The good news the next day, that it was not Cancer, made me reevaluate all that my life involves. I have purged many things as far as people and work but I still have to work harder at clearing out the things literally. Last night I built my home desk and today I reorganized the den in anticipation of Jake and Emmy coming tomorrow. I have stacked totes ready to go through that have moved with me over the years. I think I am emotionally ready to go down the memory lane that I will find in them. With all that is going on with Mom, I don’t want to leave the mess for my kids.
Today I had a good deal more energy and took the time to go start Mom’s car, pack some extra clothes for her and bring her her mail. I had calls all morning from the Interior Health transition liaison and the Physiotherapist who has been attending Mom. It seems she is going to be moved to Green Home for rehab as she still falls backwards. They may have her for 6-8 weeks until she can move properly on her own. She seems happy with that and looks forward to getting out of the ward she is in.
The side of her face is quite swollen and bruised from where they did the biopsy but I was assured that is normal. I skunked her at crib and then she beat me one game. She is definitely getting better.
I did make a nummy dinner and puzzled a bit between chores.
