Mom seems to be getting a bit stronger and even had her hair cut yesterday. She is encouraging visitors but doesn't have strength for vey long visits. I am trying to find some clothes so that she can join in some of the activities because she doesn't want to be in the lounge in a nightie - hospital nightie at that. But with the pain pump attached to her abdomen, it is a bit of a challenge. She is such a gracious, grateful person that her words about the clothes I chose to take up were; "You made such a wonderful selection."
I'm really hoping that she can get into some of the activities there and will rely on me a little less. I have set a pace that I can't keep up and in her heart of hearts, she knows this. However, her level of anxiety doesn't allow her to settle for less. We shall see.
