05-03-26 Adieu Dear Beth
Morning was smooth, packing, breakfast, in memoriam video and goodbye hugs.
I made a stop at Walmart for a few things and when I went to pay I couldn’t find my CC! I paid with a different one and headed back to the hotel thinking I had left it in the sleeve with my key card. It was not there so I searched again and it was in my wallet. Argh I had wasted so much time.
I was pretty tired driving. I even pulled over and got a package of mentos out of my shopping to kick in a sugar rush.
Made it home just before three, thinking Beth’s funeral was at 3:30. I double checked and found it was actually at three so I got changed in a big hurry and headed to the Alliance church.
I made it to hear Caitlyn singing just before the eulogy by Dylan, one of the sons It was beautiful
I realized that I had forgotten my phone at home but decided I didn’t need it. I went to the celebration of life at the Royal Alexandra Hall.
I got home around 6:30 to find that mom had called. I called and she was in bad shape. Her door was locked and it took her a very long time to let me in. I had to put one arm in and help her to get turned around and sit on her walker so I could push her out of the way and open the door. I had called an ambulance. Her neighbour Gary had pushed his fall button to get someone to come with a key but no one came while I was waiting. That is disturbing
Up at the hospital they ran tests and did a chest X-ray. Finally just around d 10 a Dr came to say she hadn’t found anything wrong. She agreed that her swollen feet were extreme and they would admit her for a couple days. I begged my leave and chatted with Rae on the way home to ask her to check in tomorrow as I have to go to Invermere for treatment in the morning.
