...and one step back. A tough day yesterday. Mom had both a physical therapist's and doctor's appointments at the Juneau Bone and Joint Center. Cancelled. She just didn't feel well enough to make it. The fundamental problem is that she has been practicing medicine without a license - as she has been doing ever since I have made her acquaintance - decided she didn't need the stool softener as directed. Big problem. So we spent yesterday getting that squared away - the breakthrough came early this morning... She seems much improved today although she still feels queasy.
I am worried about falling behind in the PT department. I put the odds at 50/50 that she will ultimately have to go back to the hospital and under anesthesia to have her scar tissue broken up. She will not like that. Neither will anyone else in the vicinity. But that may well be the course we are on... The physical therapist from home health will finally be able to see her on Thursday. We can only hope that she will be able to make-up for lost time.
Dad is doing fairly well. And he's being more-or-less cooperative. Can change at any moment, of course.
My cousin, Sandra, is in town for ten days so she gets to argue with Auntie. Good luck with that, cuz.
Oh yeah, and today is mom's birthday - 83 years young.
Well, chores are done at the elder's. Gonna check my email and then head to the store. Gonna make a shrimp saute.

Perhaps a little Metamucil mixed in with tomorrow's oatmeal. Can't hurt, and might prevent future blockages. I'm just sayin'.
