I am so sorry I have been MIA. I guess I have just been in a fog. I am call it hospital brain. DM is doing better each day. Some days she takes a step backward but now we are going forward more than backward. I took 2 days of "duty" so DSis could do stuff w/her DH on Monday & Tuesday. So I had 2 days "off" yesterday & today. DH & I drove down to Brady & did a couple of things. (I also washed my hair there as the water in Midland is soooo hard.) We also got the trailer & brought it back so as to be able to take another load that way. Today I played w/my embroidery machine. This evening was my Great Aunt's visitation. DSis got DM ready for it. I only had to help get her in the car. DM was sad. Actually DM has been "sad" for a while now. I think we are getting through to her that she has to get up & moving. #2DSis told her that all the things she is worried about (ie. pneumonia, bladder infection, & water on her legs) will either be prevented or taken care of by getting up & walking. I think DSis saw signs that Mama took her seriously today.
