Yesterday Mom was pretty much the same and I am getting worn out. I am not very much help to her lifting her spirits. I can drive her around and rub her swollen feet but at the same time the tears are streaming down my face and I'm sure that's very upsetting to her but her medications don't allow her to show that.
Lorraine was staying with her last night and Mom was sure looking forward to that. Lorraine will notice quite a difference from a week ago. Mom has some very good friends and Jane is going to see her pretty well every day. Lor is coming back again this weekend. I will remember to take a telephone in today but before I install it in her room I will ask the nursing staff if they think it is a good idea. At this point it may not. I don't think that Mom will talk on any incoming calls and will only use the outgoing line as a rescue line! She always wants me to phone anyone who is supposed to be coming to find out why they aren't there yet - and that's usually about an hour before they say they will be there. And then every 5 minutes after that.
