Days 30 and 31

Yesterday was a busy day for us beginning with blood work first thing in the morning. After that, we ate breakfast at Shoneys and then went to Walmart to get her nails done and just shop around- I think we actually stayed n Walmart 2 hours- just roaming around- me pushing her in the wheelchair- we bought my sister a get well gift and then left in time for her hair appointment at 1pm- she looked great with hair and nails done-After this we went to visit my sister who has had shoulder surgery- we told her that we had decided that momma would probably just stay with me- Momma also told her that once she was recovered, she hoped she would be able to take her to doctors appointments and such since I will be back at work. My sister was immediately on the defensive- telling momma that she was just not going to pull on her anymore or try to lift her- I jumped in and said momma doesn't need that anymore- she is able to get up and down herself- you know I really think she just doesn't want to be bothered with the responsibility of helping out. I can't understand my sisters at all- Connie doesn't even call and check on my momma everyday which I think there is absolutely no excuse for- and Jenny is so wrapped up in her own self that she can't see any one else- oh well- they will have regrets- not me.
Today we got up late. Jamie, her therapist came and we barely had enough time to get her dressed and ready. He worked with her on the outside steps that we have and also getting in and out of the car- after her therapy, she gave him one of her books she has written and wrote inside-"Thank you for helping me get part of my life back"- I thought that was touching. This afternoon, I took Jay to the doctor and he now has mono- ugh- another obstacle to get past- but we will- the doctor told him to be careful about being around Momma and his brother- Sam- who will probably get it anyway- I felt a little down today for some reason- maybe losing some of my identity- I don't know-tonight I felt like coming upstairs early and getting ready for bed and reading for a while- but I felt that I needed to stay and keep her company until time to get her ready for bed- maybe I can find a way to get her to be able to take her meds and get her night clothes on earlier- this is going to be especially important when I start back to work because I will need to be in bed by 9pm- maybe 8 depending on how tired I am going to be...
