Busy weekend. I went out for a run on Saturday but had to cut it a bit short because I had to get home to take Alex to his driving lesson at the high school…..In the early afternoon I drove to Fort Wayne (myself) to go visit Mom, since I hadn’t seen her in several weeks. She seems to be doing pretty well; she’s clean and her hair has been trimmed, and she was in a good mood. It seemed. She was sitting in the common area watching TV, which was just on to a Motown music channel, but she was laughing at things. She’d laugh at commercials, or look at the nurses working over in the dining area and laugh at them, or laugh at me if I said anything to her. She talked a little bit, nothing really understandable, and if I asked her what she had said she laughed at me. I just sat with her for a couple hours; she didn’t want to go for a walk or anything. Until I told her it was time for me to leave, when she clouded over and seemed to get upset. She got up and started walking around, so I stayed a bit to walk around with her. When I really did have to leave, one of the nurses caught me and told me that she needs some new clothes because all the ones she has are wearing out, and she’s putting some weight back on (she’s lost a lot in the last year). So I ran over to the Kohl’s near the home and picked up some fleece shirts and pants for her…..After that I had to get home quickly because Beth and I had to get to a wedding reception for Brittnee (Bullington) and Alex Rethlake in Nappanee. It was a nice reception, they eloped last year so this was their big party. The food was amazing. We visited for a while but Beth wasn’t feeling great with all the crowd around.
