I should say that it is an excellent facility and my mom is quite comfortable. She knows many of the faculty, as do I, as we were there on such a regular basis for my dad for months. But it's weird to go back. Even more so for my parent's home. When I stay over and my mom isn't there, it just reminds me of the inevitable moment when I will have to close that house, and get rid of all that stuff.
My mom is doing well but still in enough pain that she will probably stay at the nursing facility for a week. I was planning to go to Tahoe this weekend with my family to celebrate Stacy's birthday (right after Valentine's) but unfortunately we can't take the pom, so I'll stay behind and tend to my mom. I'm feeling a little under the weather now (good thing we didn't go out last night, Greg) - surely from exhaustion - I feel pretty rundown - so the break will be good. I was invited to Peggy O's 50th this weekend and S is encouraging me to go. We'll see how I'm feeling then.
I made an interesting discovery. My mom hoards bags. She's always on about how we have to buy bags at stores now. When I took her clothes over to the nursing home, she said to bring a bag for dirty laundry. I found two major caches of bags, paper and plastic, in the house. I called her on it and she totally 'fessed to it, grinning somewhat mischievously about being a hoarder. At least it's not spoons.
