Mom’s new casual Pixie look. Once again she is showing signs of the little Energizer Bunny that keeps going.
We’re off to a good start today. When I arrived this morning mom asked me if I had been in her room during the night. I said “No” and asked why? She said she had landed on the floor and was calling my name. When there was no answer she said there was a man behind her and he helped her get back into bed. I have checked with the front desk and no one was in the room for assistance which means she was able to get back into bed On Her Own. This is such good news. It is partially, or maybe mostly, because of the physical therapy she has been getting. The exercises she practices focus on her getting off the floor and knowing how to safely get back in bed. 
She has such a hard time believing that she can actually do something successful. Now I’m working on drilling this achievement into her head.
On frustrating note – Sherrelle has quit her attendant care job with no explanation and she was the Cinderella I was counting for mom four days a week. Now Benefits of Home is scrambling to find a replacement and I’m sifting through the dust. Hopefully Andrea will stay with the company for awhile. I loved the rapport I had developed with Sherrelle and that I continue to have with Andrea. I has become such a comfort to text questions and basically keep checking in on what mom is doing – how she is doing.
