Slow News Day

Besides Mom getting a powder to drink to up her sodium (which she hated, by the way), a CAT scan, and an MRI, it was mostly just waiting around for some answers. Here's what Mom wrote in the journal. I feel like my life is about to be nothing. Like I'm not going to be …

And, Here We Go…

Five days in, and things are already looking bleak. The heart doctor's assistant came in and said that Mom was doing better, so from their standpoint, Mom could go home tomorrow.

We Need To Talk About Mom

November 1st, 2019. The day before Mom went into the hospital, and everything changed. I know, that sentence sounds cliche, but every did change.
