Just the Normal Snags So Far

So, it has been a good week. Not that some weeks are bad, but this week we are rockin along in spite of what has become normal snags.
Have I mentioned what a miracle worker Becky is? Getting Mom to shower, brush her teeth, wash her hair, and change her pad? When I mention to Mom that she needs to change her pad and/or panties I get the glare and she rags on me to Becky about how I tell her what to do and she doesn't need me telling her what to do. As long as it gets done, I can take the heat!
Tomorrow Mom sees the ophthalmologist for a 6 month check-up. I don’t expect that Mom will be able to number one, understand his questions or statements and number two, respond to them. But if the doctor can get a look at her eyes, it will give me an idea how much her sight has deteriorated.
After that appointment, which usually takes about 3 hours, Mom has been invited to lunch at Red Lobster with the Retired Teachers in Burleson. She and Becky will be going there. Since Joe is off tomorrow, I am trying to arrange for us to tour one or two memory care facilities in the area to ask questions and get a better idea what is out there and hopefully be able to recognize when it might be time to move Mom to one of them. It is getting closer and I think it is important for Joe to get some information. And me as well. As a Social Worker in this county, I have been involved in placements and have visited a number of places. But it was never about my Mom.
Mom and Becky have been going this week to pick Julie up from work instead of me doing it. Becky thought it would give Mom something to look forward to in the day and get out of the house. So far it is working except that Julie misses riding home with me and giving me a rundown of her day. But she assured me today that she is on board with whatever supports me. She is wonderfully supportive!
Love you all!
