Mom finally escaped yesterday morning about 10:30. She wanted to go to a beauty shop to get her hair washed and styled since she was determined to go to her memorial luncheon yesterday. I dropped her off there since one of the other ladies lives close to us and said that she would bring her home for me so I wouldn't have to wait. That was great since I had several things I needed to do at home.
She got home and went straight to the couch to lay down. Larry Bernard came to visit her and she visited with him for a short time before she went to sleep. She felt really bad about falling asleep while he was here, but she needed the sleep. The night before she didn't get any sleep because her roommate had several medical issues that required the nurses to work on her all night. I don't think that lady will be around much longer - her time on earth is about to end.
Today, mom is just exhausted. She is sitting at the table right now signing her checks to pay her bills and then we have to to the hospital for yet another test. Then, I am going to bring her back home and back to town I go so that I can grocery shop. She has to rest up for this week-end. We are going to my sisters campground for a family reunion (I guess that is the best thing to call it). I think mom will be resting a lot while we are there.
My "vacation" is half over and I still have not marked anything off my "to-do" list. I have a lot to do in a short time.
One last thing...yesterday I took Alayna to school on my way to the hospital and she asked if Oma was going to come home today and I told her maybe. She said that Oma couldn't come home yet because she didn't have a bed in our house yet. Alayna gave me orders to get one soon. I guess Alayna is paying attention, because every time mom has come home from the hospital (not including this one) she has had to stay at our house because usually the hospital stays involved surgery. Alayna just doesn't understand why this one is different.
