04-01-23 April Fools
Emmy was so excited yesterday to play April Fools on her Dad and cousins that she had a list of things she could do. I woke up and set my bed like I was in it and went into the closet to get her Dad to tell her to come wake me. We had a good laugh when I startled her from the closet. She made a Kick Me sign and stuck it on her Dad. We made cupcakes to celebrate her birthday with her cousins and for me to take for my friend Galen’s birthday at poker tonight. After that Bill, Deanne, and the two international students came and helped move a sideboard to Mom’s that was her aunts and will hold the things she needs to access easily as her overhead cupboards are high. I then went to the hospital to see if she had been transferred yet and was told no but after I paid for parking and went up to the third floor it seems she already had been. I went to the Green Home to find I have to have a Covid test within 48 hours of visiting so they did one and I was finally able to see her in her new space. She has a private room and bath with a nice window to look out at and a nice sized flatscreen TV. She was sitting in a wheelchair when I got there, watching curling. She needed a little cheering up and it was nice that when they came around with snacks we were able to have a coffee and cookie together as we laughed that she got a room with a stripper pole. I have a list of clothes to pick up for her and bring tomorrow as she can wear normal ones now which is nice for her to start feeling on the mend. She will have physio 5 days a week and I was there to help complete the paperwork and history for her with the nurse. I feel she will get the care she needs there and it will be good for her. Next it was to the Guedes house for a visit and to celebrate Emmy turning 6 on Wednesday. I left and went for a much needed pedicure before returning for a lovely ham dinner with the family. Sawyer came to stay over with Emmy at my place. I helped get them settled and then headed to my poker game. I just left, having been the 7th one left at the table. It was a nice night and Galen liked his cupcakes and I sent some home with him for his wife and daughter. I am very tired and hope to catch up a little tonight as it will be a busy week coming up.
