Brian cautioned me, "just don't be too gushy. In order for us to get home health care for Mom, she had to be evaluated by a nurse (two actually) and a physical therapist. As a result of these evaluations, it was determined that she needed around the clock medical help available to her. We have moved her to Legacy House, an assisted living center with help for Alzheimer victims. We have been trying very hard to help her to not feel abandoned. Kim brought this Jeff Foxworthy piece to her yesterday and I wanted to share it. Hope it isn't too "gushy" becauseI found it desturbingly entertaining.

You may have already read or heard these, but the cool thing about giving them to Mom is she can read them several times a day, an hour, even a minute and she will enjoy them as if she were reading them for the first time. I took her to the doctor yesterday afternoon to establish primary care. She is quite healthy except for the broken leg and a desperate need to go to the podiatrist. We have an appointment for the latter and the former is healing nicely.

At first, when I read "the cool thing about giving them to Mom is she can read them several times a day, an hour, even a minute and she will enjoy them as if she were reading them for the first time" I thought I was reading a comment about Carol-mom, not grandma-mom.
ReplyDeleteThose wouldn't be so funny if they weren't so true. I'm glad your mom is recovering, I hope her spirits are not too low.
