Day 5

Today was a good day- mom only woke up three times last night- and she slept in the recliner part of the night- no BM's in the bed either!! At 7 she was ready to get up and I made her cofffee and heated a honey bun for her- I gave her the morning meds and then she wanted to get back in bed- which was fine for me because I was still so sleepy- we both slept until 10:30-
Around 10:30- I began getting her clothes ready for the day- today was Sunday and the boys and Jerry had left for church around 9:30- at first she didn't want to take her bath but I convinced her that she would feel better after her bath- we did the bath thing and yes she did feel better after- She wanted to sit out on the deck in the sunshine after I got her dressed and she must have sat there almost an hour. Jerry called around this time and wanted to know if we wanted Mexican food from the local Mexican restaurant and we both said yes- so he took our orders and we just waited for our lunch- after lunch, the preacher and his wife from my church came by for a short visit and I really enjoyed seeing Janice- she is one of my good friends- I am going to miss going to church on a regular basis. This afternoon, I took a short nap in Jerry's new recliner and mom slept on and off, I think- we watched TV until suppertime, then ate and put her to bed around 9pm- so far it has been a good day- tomorrow we go to the orthopedic doctor for her shoulder- it will be her first outing- if all goes well. we may go out to eat lunch.
