I need to double check the appointment times my mom set up on Friday.
My best friend visited, and for the first time since taking this job, I got my own respit. It was nice.
We have two doctor appointments later in the week after being dischared, so that too will keep us busy.
The weather is getting warmer, which makes it increasingly harder to get my friend out (she doesn't do well in excessive heat) Any ideas on small outings we might be able to handle?
How about an early morning trip to a small farmer's market? I would suggest a movie but crowds are probably not a good thing. Maybe call and find out the least busy showing and the movies without crowds?
Did she get discharged? How are things going at home? Has your brother cheered up since the missed game?
My brother has had a change in attitude. I was getting worried, but when my best friend came, she made an effort to spend a lot of time with him, and she said they had "good coversation". He seems generally happier now than a week ago, so that makes me feel better. He had a great game Monday, and another one tonight. After every game I make an extended effort to tell him how happy I was that I could attend, and how very proud of him that I am.
Did you get your appointment times figured out? Tomorrow is Friday! LOL
Goodluck!
