The last 24 hours were great for mom. She adjusted some of her pain meds and really found a combination that is working right now. She and I got up early today and went to the 9am Mass at St. John’s, then over to Marchiano’s for the breads, and then to T&F for some supplies for Sunday Dinner. Just like old times.
June 11, 2022: A Good Day
Today started out as a really bad day, Mom was not feeling well at all in the morning. However, she was able to take control and turn things around, and ended up having a great day going shopping with Alia and got all made up and was bopping around the house. Sometimes it is going to be a daily struggle to get that green!
June 10, 2022: A Good Day
Today was a good day, despite another slow-start morning. Mom’s sister, my Aunt Terri, came down and they spent a lot of time sitting together in the sunshine. Sometimes Mom feels like she is having a bad day because she has moments that are intense, but today was a good example that, overall, and relatively speaking, it was a pretty good day.
June 9, 2022: A Good Day
Today was pretty good. Mornings are not great, but as the day goes on, things seem to improve. Alia took Mom up to the track today and they walked some laps — though half the field was closed for preparation for graduation, so they walked some half-laps.
June 8, 2022: A Good Day
Mom still had pain today, and some fatigue, both more than she’d like, but the last 24 hours have been pretty good. Mom slept through the night and late into the morning, and has been buzzing around the house all day, cleaning this, fussing with that. Mom seems like Mom today.
June 7, 2022: A Medium Day
Today was a little better than yesterday, and it got better as the day went on. Mom had a pretty good night of sleep; just one wake up due to symptoms, but she and my sister were able to resolve them and get some more sleep. Mom woke up feeling terrible, but her appetite improved and it seemed like maybe she was able to turn a corner by the afternoon. Both of my sisters and my niece and Mom went out for pedicures, so, overall, not a bad day!
