Quick Mom Update.

Another quick update on my mom--

I talked to her last night, and apparently she has now acquired
a "lift" chair--to make it easier for her to get up and around, and to help
keep her feet elevated--and she has a "portable potty" thing that she
keeps near her so that she doesn't have to go as far to get to the restroom.

She also told me that she has taken to permanently sleeping in the lift chair,
rather than in her bed, just to make it easier on her legs. She said my dad,
therefore, has taken to sleeping in the living room as well, as he doesn't
want to leave her.

Along with not wanting to leave her at night, he doesn't want to leave her
during the day. Rather than have hospice people stay there all day, he is
starting to circulate a calendar around the family, so that she can have
constant watch without being uncomfortable or bothered.

I wish I could be there. I told her I would be there this weekend if she wants
me to come, just to place some ease on some of the people who have been
staying with her these last couple weeks. She said that I should wait, and that
I should just come back in a couple of weeks, and not to worry.

Ha! Haha! HA!

Yeah. That's funny.
