Wow! It's been a week since I looked at this. Mom is doing well these days. She is keeping busy with coffee every morning, getting her hair done, chorus and mass once a week, and has gotten involved in a couple of committees. Her spirits have been pretty good and she is very happy to have settled her thanksgiving plans. Mary and Ray are having dinner with her at the restaurant at Fuller Place. Her friend Anna will also be joining them. Mom was invited to both Peter's and my house, but she really wanted to spend the time with Mary and Ray.
Mom now has a new mesh office chair for her computer. She spends a lot of time playing Mahhjong, and was complaining about back pain once too often to me. I found her a great deal on one which she just loves.
Of course it took me a few weeks to even have her let me go look at them and then decided she could make do with what she had. When I brought the chair up she looked at it and immediately didn't like the way it looked so I proceeded to just lounge in it for a while enjoying it so much!! I didn't even ask her to try it, but soon I found her sitting in it while I was busy with something else.
She wouldn't get up for me to put it in her room as she was enjoying it so much. It is a special back support model, so she no longer needs to have a pillow in the chair with her.
John and Mia went with me over the weekend to play some games with her. She and Mia got into a few games of Triominos while John and I did some work around the place. We installed a slide out waste basket for under the sink so she no longer has to hold the basket to get it out. She will not even have to lift it as she can just take the bags right out of it very easily.
Then all 3 of us played Scrabble. Would you believe that John won??!!

Back again!! Derek was up for a visit for just about 2 weeks. House was quite full!!
Mom had her followup appt for hearing aides. It is a go! She has gotten used to them and is even changing her own batteries. Yea, Mom!!
She is back in the chorus, having had first performance yesterday for Patriots Day. She is complaining about the director, so we can all know she is feeling better!!
She had a great visit with Paul - his concert raised $2,000 from individual contributions and $1,000 from a company!! It goes to the Milton Food Bank, so she was thrilled with the amount raised. She was also very pleased that Jack Brookins came. He is enjoying his retirement spending lots of time with his grandchildren!
Mom enjoyed visits with Derek while he was here, and Paula helped out as always so that I can do all that I do.
Mom is starting to be affected, I think, by the change in weather, She is having some complaints of pain/dysfunction with a knee, a hip and also her ribs. Nothing needing any medical attention at this point.
As she spends a lot of time at the computer,playing mahhjong, I have just gotten her a new chair. Got a great deal at Staples - Derek had suggested looking at the newer mesh chairs, and upon trying it myself I got it on the spot, and at a great price,(about 60% off!!!!) which she was thrilled to hear!!!
She is still trying to figure out her Thanksgiving plans, hoping to spend it with Mary and Ray.
Have heard that Amby and Linda are in FL! Enjoy the warmth!!
You can all email to Mom directly and I can print them out for her when I am there.
