Good Day!
Sharon has taken over for the weekend. Devona is at her last show/sale at Hanover and Dennis and Jill are working at Noah's wrestling match. I'm without a job!
We watched the movie "Julie and Julia" about Julia Child. Betty had a few good laughs and Raymond watched the whole movie without falling asleep. We also enjoyed "A Celtic Christmas" on PBS. Raymond kept commenting on the beautiful gowns. Who knew! Betty has a soft spot for Shirley Temple. I ordered a Shirley Temple retrospective from Netflix and I had to return to Madison to pick it up at the post office. I hope she enjoys them.
Betty is now walking without the walker most of the time. She discovered she can get up and down from the couch so her living room time can be spent reclining. That will relieve pressure on her lower back. Sharon remembered a massage mat that was around so we'll see if that helps.
Of course, we have oodles of food. Karoline made a delicious turkey casserole last night. Jan and Susan brought the most delicious Russian Wedding Cakes we have ever tasted. I caught Sharon in them this morning. I hope there will be some left when I return. The cookies weren't hard and dry inside. Perhaps the baker had actually followed the recipe. Try to underbake your next batch a little and see what you think. The real butter was pretty good too!
Our main goals at present are to keep Betty moving, rub her back, stay current with Tylenol, and entice her with food options. I think Raymond is about ready to assume responsibility for the challenge. He needs a secretary to keep track of the details, but the day to day duties are doable. We left our phone numbers for him to refer any medical calls so I think he's in good shape.
We tried to encourage Raymond to attend South Boston on Friday night but he isn't ready to leave for that long. It will be a good sign when you see him out and about. He will feel she is safe and secure. Our next doctor's appointment is Dec 10th for Betty and Dec 17th for Raymond. Stay tuned for more adventure.
I probably won't blog until the first of the week. Thank you for following.
