When I called Mom today at the usual time she was waiting in the beauty parlor to get her hair done. Tuesday is Beauty Parlor Day for Mom at OAR. It always seems to perk her up and she feels better after getting her hair done. Mom was a licenced cosmetologist in the sixties and had her own shop until her back gave out on her and she had to have surgery. After that she worked in the wig department in a major department store.
I received the info from DSHS on Mom's Medicaid benefits and got the bill at OAR all straightened out through July. Snickers and Popcorn were out of State for a week and Mom became a little anxious during that time and made several calls to me for reassurance. I was there with her last Tuesday and had lunch with her. Every thing went well. When Snickers got home from the trip she picked up Mom for a visit at their house and Mom once again became very confused when it was time to settle in again back at OAR and also made several calls from her cell phone to Snickers for reassurance.
Ladybug went up to Everette to spend the day with her Mother who is also in a rest home. She is 90 years old and failing. Her weight is down to 89 Lbs. and she is on morphine for pain from her osteoporosis.
About Me
- Elvis
- Dad is gone and Mom is getting up there in years. She can be "difficult". My wife Ladybug and my two sisters Snickers and Bailiwick are at our wits end at times. Just thought it would be good to have a place to go and unload sometimes and perhaps keep a better record of things since WE are all getting up there too. :)
