Maybe Not Feeling So Good

I took Angie with me yesterday when I went to see mom. We realised that she had company when we walked in. Marvin and Londa were there. They had come to go to the sale barn just up the road from the nursing home, and stopped in to visit. Marvin said he just bought 40 calves.

   Pop said they brought mom's lunch to her room and fed her in there instead of taking her to the dining room. When the nurse came in Angie asked her about that and the nurse said they thought mom might not be feeling well. She had thrown up twice in the night.

Visitors, a new room and a guest book

Mom has had a lot of visitors lately because of a funeral bringing relatives from out of state.

  I met my sister Larita there one morning. It was great to see her again.

  I didn't go to the funeral because Steve wasn't home to go with me and I didn't want to go by myself. Its intimidating to go to a funeral where there are a 1000 people who know who you are but you can't place them because you haven't seen the bulk of them for 30 years.

My relatives have this secret or maybe not so secret delight in asking if I know who they are just so they can watch me squirm. So I have decided that next time I'm not going to sweat it out.

  I'm just going to say, "You tell me who you are and then we will both feel better.

So after my mom got so many visitors the nursing home put her in a room of her own, which is way nicer! It's much more pleasant to visit her in a room with more space and we don't bother a roommate.

We got her a guestbook and its fun to see who has been there.

On Sunday our son Matt and his wife Kaitlyn went in with their little boys. Mom was very happy to see them and smiled a lot.
