I Went To See Mom Early This Morning

I was there at the home right after 8am.  They were just using the lift to get her out of the tub.  When she came out I asked her how she enjoyed her bath.  She said I didn't.  I never enjoy it now as its in and out.  I really don't blame her ....its so nice to relax and soak.   So I fed her,her breakfast.  She did terrific.  She had a large bowl of cereal 3 half slices of toast with jam and a bit of ham, and hot chocolate.  Then she had orange juice and a large glass of milk.  Breakfast for sure is her best meal.  It was great to see her eat.  Usually at lunch and or dinner she eats little.  I braided her hair and put on lipstick and a pretty scarf.  We had a nice little talk.  I told her as soon as the weather gets warm enough we are going down to the lake to get an icecream cone.  It's only a block away so I will push her in her wheel chair. She was quite happy about that.  I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have even a small conversation.  It really does lift one's spirits.
