I went to see mom yesterday and she was sitting on a couch "reading".
She actually smiled when I greeted her!
The bruise from the back of her head has traveled down the side
all the way to under her chin.
I learned from a worker that the sound of mom hitting the floor was
heard across the entire place. As the lady told me, she cringed and
shook off chills.
Omg. this broke my heart. Poor mom :'''(
But she was doing better than i have seen in months-
she actually was able to focus on my phone and, get this,
RECOGNIZE HERSELF !!
Oh, and Smile for a selfie of us !
She said 'Is that me? Oh dear...... " as in Ugh
- like I say when i see myself LoL
She ate all her lunch and a cookie, bossed me around
"Sit Down!" and i sat down and made a face at her to which she
responded back with pop-out eyes of exasperation haha.
Thank goodness with her in there I can be the daughter
and not the caregiver.
After the visit I went to the "Reflections" room.
It is a private little room with a stained glass window to just sit
or have a little cry...
I hope when she goes she is blessed with going quickly
Love you mom
