Mom has been home since last Sunday and today was the first really fairly good day - not complaining so much about being chilled, nauseated, etc. nor being cranky and demanding. She has seemed much more like her normal self today.
Had to get my friend Bronwyn to come sit with Mom while I ran to the store this morning and got food for lunch. I can't leave Mom alone.
I had some friends over for lunch, and it went well. Suzan just adopted her second child, a little boy from Kazakhstan. He is so sweet and so well-behaved. Her older child is 17 now, so this new child [age 9] will keep her in the Mom lane for a while.
Coco injured herself last night - we're not sure how. Mom doesn't think it was because I stepped on her, I think it is. no matter - we had to go to the vet this afternoon and get it cleaned and closed. Not fun. I am so tired of seeing my loved ones suffer.
I got cousin Lesleigh to come sit with Mom late this afternoon while we took Coco to the vet. Coco will have to have antibiotics and pain meds for a while. I feel terrible.
I am keeping a list of all the pills I give Mom, and now Coco will have her own list. At least I can just give Mom pills, not liquid from a hypodermic...
