Ok, today is Wed and I went to see Mom and Dad at lunch time. Dad was pretty good, really. He said a few off the wall things and tried to stand up about 4 or 5 times, but he had eaten and was ready for a chew. They also came to get him for his haircut. I told him they were going to make him beautiful and he kept telling the aids there that! LOL! He was ok. Mom was just Mom. God love her, she's just not good. The one girl passed me in the hall as I was going in and said your Mom is a hoot today. I thought--GOOD! Well, she didn't act like much of a hoot at lunch. In fact she never acknowledged me, but this one aid said something to her and Mom goes: hi sweetheart or hi precious--something that made sense! I fed her nearly all of her lunch. I left a little of the meat because I can't believe she can chew it, but she does. The lady in charge of cleaning told me she wanted to apologize to me for the way their room looked the other day. She said she'd gone down there this morning to check it herself. It was clean, too. She said she'd gotten on to the people that work there because she said it was food on the floor where they don't wipe the food off them before bringing them back to their rooms. Anyway, they did the protein test on Mom because of her wounds. Her toe, according to Nikki, is bad. She said it's like the nail is fixing to come off and there was green stuff there. They're giving her the antibiotic + she's keeping triple antibiotic ointment on it and keeping it covered so Mom can't hit it. Anyway, all's about the same, really. Mom is just not good. There's no other way to describe her, but she must have times where she's more animated than others---if that girl was right today about the 'hoot' part! LOL! OK, Love you all, Jeanie
