Another good day in Cincy:). The meetings with Moms nurse and dr appt yesterday, all went well, as did the meeting today with her social worker. While she has progressed some, she continues to function with assistance and clusters of bumps in the road. So we're in a holding pattern for now. The staff here and her dr agree that to move her now and take her away from my aunts and her friends here and the only home she's ever known, would be difficult and could really set her back. And, she said the same, when I brought it up to her. She agrees that if/when her health prevents her from getting out like she still does and enjoying her family & friends here, then we'll move her closer to me. I was fortunate to find a good time to speak with her about it when she was more with it than some other times. So, while with Alzheimer's things can change in a moment, I feel good having an idea of how we'll proceed from here,a dn knowing I've done my research in CT and know where I'd like her to move too if/when the time comes.
Mom & I are off to see my one of my aunts and cousin for lunch, and tonight I have a wedding shower for my best friend here's future daughter-in-law. And I'll get my hands on that new baby girl born just over a month ago to my godchild. So, another nice day ahead!
I'm happily continuing to do and feel great. I certainly have my moments, but have been able to work through them by staying curious and finding healthy ways to cope. Having each of you and our safe place here helps so much for I know you all are only a journal away. Writing is such great therapy for me... Especially knowing there's such kind support out there for me.
So off I go on another day which I'll start praying for serenity. And through this one day and each one meal, moment, thought, bite and emotion, I'll pray, breathe, journal, stay curious and express my way. I'm so very grateful for each of fantastic you, my family & IRL friends, this special time with my mom, spending time with my Cincy friends and that new baby especially, and having the health and wealth to live this life I love!
