Today seemed to start nicely. Mom stayed in bed sleeping on and off until about 11:00am after that she just laid there talking to whomever she talks to. Shannon and I had the time to take the tree and decorations down and stored in the garage. After Shannon left I got Mom up and she had her usual cranky I don't want to get up why do I have to do this. Into the bathtub with more fight from Mom. Aunt Lorraine came to visit and have tea and waited very patiently until Mom was ready. She was very unsteady on her feet and seemed to lean backwards as she walked. Into the kitchen we went to have tea and Mom to have lunch. She ate quite well with some guidance and much patience. She and Aunt Lorraine spent time sitting on the couch with a couple of Mom's "babies". After Aunt Lorraine left, Mom wandered around (she has regained her stability) and just did her thing. Well onto dinner - she takes about and hour to eat a meal because she has a lot of conversations with her world. She isn't doing very well with dining utensils and uses her fingers on and off. At one point during the meal she grabbed the sides of the table top and stated that she had to get this window opened. The things she says add much needed humor to our day. Well, off to get ready for bed and the usual battle begins. Tonight I got the first slap from Mom in, oh let's see, about 40+ years, and not just one but two and only light ones either. Life sure does hold many surprises!! Off to bed and looking like a delicate angel. The stinging on the side of my face says differently.
So this was our day today December 26, 2010. Anyone looking for a job? Goodnight to all.
