I Went Shopping!!

Janet · 10-18-2009, 03:54 PM

I went shopping today in Lafayette. I went to the Cato store again that Diana had told me about. Last time I found some nice things for summer and so I needed to go again to find some shirts/tops for fall and winter.

I found three that I wanted to try on (I have to try on everything) and as soon as I tried one top on my cell phone rang. It was my son telling me that Grandma called and sounded a little distressed. No sooner had I hung up from him....Mother called and he was right, she did sound a little upset.

When Mom got up this morning, the dialysis machine only took about 2 teaspoons of fluid off her abdomen and she couldn't remember how to do the manual exchange. So, I hurriedly purchased the 3 tops that I liked and also bought me a watch. Then I drove to Frankfort to help my Mom with the exchange.

I was a little perturbed (sp) because I don't usually have the money or the time to go buy myself something and I was in the mood to shop. Anyway...I went to help Mom and was glad I did. Her stomach was real tight because not much drained out and it was starting to get to her. After we got her all fixed up, she told me she was so glad that she had me....and then my heart melted. I'm glad she has me too and I'm glad that I have her.

Tomorrow I have to take her to Lafayette for an appointment with the kidney Dr. and so she can get an H1N1 shot. Hopefully it won't take too awful long. I always worry I won't get back in time for the afternoon bus route, but I always do. Don't know why I worry so much.

It's OK to worry. I'm glad you got to do a little shopping and I'm really glad you're there for your Mom and here for me!

You're a good daughter, Janet! Your mom must have been really afraid, and you came to her rescue.

I like Cato, but I always have to try on everything, too

You are such a sweet daughter!! Your Mom is so blessed to have you helping her during this time! I'm so sorry that it interfered with your shopping trip though. I know that you don't go very often.....but the trip wasn't wasted because you did find three shirts!!!! Don't you just love Cato's?

Janet, so glad that things worked out. You got your tops, though had to rush, but your mom made up for it. Hope her doctor visit goes well!!

Yes I do love it Diana. I did see some other things I liked, so I will have to go back soon.

You are a wonderful daughter, Janet, and I know you appreciate your Mom too.
I hope you get back to Cato's soon, and enjoy a relaxing, fun shopping day!
