Pretty good weekend...

Well, Saturday was quite enjoyable.  I picked Mom up in the morning, and we left only after she pitched a fit about not having any make up on...So, we made her up and we were off to brunch.  We went to Coco's, and she got to have her super well done toast with extra butter and strawberry jam.  She was happy with that.  Then she said she wanted to go to the mall.  So we went over to Parkway Plaza, and made a quick trip into Macy's, where we dropped a small fortune (very small) on some new shirts for Mom.

Mom was really happy and in a great mood when I left.  Apparently, a visiting RN was there at Magnolia, and in response to Mom's problem with being itchy all over all the time, she decided to try a new medication.  This medication is for neuropathy, and it turns out that the issues Mom was having may have been caused by nerve damage from the stroke.  It seems to be working, and Mom seems to be sleeping more at night...At least Friday night anyway.

Mom wanted me to bring her make up from home, and was not about to be too patient about it.  So, although I try and take Sundays for myself to get stuff done, I dropped by to give my Mom her makeup.  She was having a bad day.  Really missing Dad.  And she finally asked my why she shaved her head...At least she still likes it.

A little news about the memorial service for Dad.  It will be at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 21, 2009.  It is going to be held at SeaWorld, and I will be creating a web page with instructions on where to go.  It should be done in a day or two.  So, please mark your calendar and save the date.  It should prove to be a very nice event.

Much love.
