I ran my route of course....I have one young kindergarten boy that may just drive me insane before the year is over....we'll see. God grant me patience with this one please.....

Got laundry all caught up.....again...lol. Did my nails (hand and feet) and put on some polish and soaked in the tub in-between routes. I needed to pamper myself just a bit.

Mom may be released from the hosital tomorrow into a nursing home closer to my house, just 10 minutes away. I went and toured the place on Monday. It's not as cozy as the place she spent 4 days at earlier this year, but it's clean, staff is really nice and helpful, nurses and CNA's are everywhere, rooms are nice size and she will have to share. That can be a good thing. She has the window side of the room and is only a few doors away from the physical therapy room. This nursing home also does dialysis with the same company Mom gets her supplies from and Mom can take her cycler. It will be a good thing....hard....but good.

Mom knows she is going there and really hasn't been against it. We told her that she needs to get stronger and that I need to get stronger with my PT because at this time I can't lift her. She understands that. So....it's going okay so far.

Please keep us in your prayers....I'm really not sure how hard it will be for Mom since her short term memory is gone, but it's going to be awful for me. Even though it was getting really hard....I miss not having her with me. I don't know how I'll ever handle it when she's gone. Until then....I'll be able to be her daughter and she, my mother again.
