12-17-25 friends make a difference
Today started fairly normal until I tried to book Mom a doctors appointment and was told to take her to the emergency. I reached out to Rae to see if she was available. She discern that the urgent care was taking people in fairly quickly this morning so I went and picked up Mom at 10:30 and brought her to urgent care where after a full intake with bail sitting there to keep her company if I had to leave, we found out that I needed to take her to emergency.
I brought her up there and settled her in with Bill at her side and headed back to the office to try to get some work done. He had to leave by 12:30 so at quarter after 12 I headed up to the hospital to switch him out and end up staying with her until dropping her off at home just before five.
Her feet are very swollen up and she has a UTI as I suspected. I put her prescriptions in to Safeway before I dropped her off., and then headed to my massage appointment at 5:15.
I was very emotional because it is hard for an empath to spend a day in the emergency room. Ashley did an OK job of taking away some of the anxiety.
After my massage, I picked up mom’s prescriptions and drop them off to her at her apartment before heading to Verna’s to make lip balm. I wanted to take some to the people at the hospital who once again have helped out. It turned out to be an incredible group of ladies who I enjoy, and we had a good visit.
Trudy needed a ride home and I was happy to oblige and ended up having a nice scotch with Dave and Tom and a good visit before heading home.
All in all, my friends helped make today a better day than it started out
