Most of today was other people’s news. I worked hard. I met the notary at Mom’s room, left so they could talk after Mom made a somewhat snide remark that could have implied I was forcing her to give me power of attorney. I had a good talk with the lovely human that is the notary and she said this is common, not to stress but let it sink in. I had a good cry with Mom afterward when I explained how hard the first few weeks were, trying to advocate for her and get all the bills paid, etc without any actual authority other than her saying, ‘call my daughter’. It is good that I am a middle sized fish in a small city, having lived here long enough to have a good network and am trusted. I shall leave it in her hands now and tomorrow I will see her again as I have arranged a Dr to call at 2 and tell us about the biopsy and where to go from here.
My upper left quadrant of my back is in such bad shape that I can only barely drive safely as I can’t turn my head all the way to the left. I tried to hug mom and could only do it one handed. I see the chiropractor again Friday afternoon and it can’t come soon enough. I am going to take a couple pain killers and head to bed now. I am tired…
Oh, I did make a good thing today and Missy seems well pleased. She shredded her scratching post this winter so I bought her a new fort. She was already seen to explore it and play with a dangly thing.
