06-16-23 Mom’s Home!
This morning I called the hospital and found out Mom would be ready to leave by 11 so I went to the office and got some payroll done before going to pick her up. She is moving very well again with a walker. We stopped and I ran into Safeway to pick up her prescriptions before driving through A&W for teen burger combos. Hard to believe two burgers, onion rings and diet root beer came to $31! I don’t know how people eat fast food so often. We brought the food and all her belongings up to the apartment and ate. I then got her settled in, made sure she tried all the new things like her stand up assist recliner, the commode and had her get in and out of bed. I think that was her greatest joy was being back to her own bed after 3 months. I had brought her some basic food items and her cousin and brother are on deck to get her list for her from the shops. It was so good to see her home and her friends are very happy she is back. I hope she has a good sleep tonight and I will check in on her tomorrow. I went back to the office and got more done before heading to Key City Theatre for a meeting of a group of people involved in all kinds of organizations who are planning to put on a special event in the city in September. It was a great meeting and I can’t wait to share details. After that I came home and spent some time with Missy who seems to be healing well and getting more used to being inside. Next it was off to poker night. This was the last official night before the finals next Saturday. I played well and came home having spent only $15, a good fun night all in all. Today is my oldest grandson, Gene’s 16th birthday. because there is a decade between my oldest and youngest children, I now have a 28 year old son and a 16 year old grandson. No wonder I feel old and young in the same breath. I look forward to meeting the bonus granddaughter, Theodora, tomorrow, hanging out for the Spirit of the Rockies parade before celebrating Gene‘ s birthday with a family BBQ
