So May is nearly over and I haven't posted in a couple weeks. Blame it on a SLOW recovery from my health problems.I'm seeing progress week to week but not day to day. Interminably slow, basically incremental.

Mom has been doing good, she's been seeing a lot of movies at the Coventry theater and enjoys them a lot. Who knew. The setup there is just right for her to enjoy.

The inhouse physical therapist reports that she is also making progressand he has taken her for excursions with her walker a little bit!  That's great.

We had a second physical therapist start today, (actually the same guy Enrico) so he will be doubling the effort and filling in the gaps that Joshua can;t fill.They'll work together, at least in coordination of effort.

I had dinner with her Tuesday and a couple of times last week. One night they had brisket and baked potato and she just cleaned the plate. Liked it a lot.

She's also a big fan of KFC chicken breasts so if you're near one and heading to see her, you'll be her BFF if you bring some.

Mom has also taken to sitting out at the front entrance in the sun! Loves that, will sit for a few hours at a time.

Health permitting I'll try to get back to more regular postings in the future.

We've been visiting mom semi regularly, Scott and Quinn usually on Wednesdays and Saturdays and she is doing pretty well. The in house physical therapist returned from vacation and has been working with mom and tht is helping. Supposed to be another one from insurance coming this week possibly.

I've been working with her doctors to get her medication list titrated down to a more manageable level as well as cutting her assistance fees down based on a lot of factors. Was able to get almost 40% reduction in fees after two rounds of negotiation. $$$$ saved.

Mom had a couple visitors on Saturday, Mariah brought her the biggest Mothers day card ever and some Iris's. Scott and Quinn were there and took her out into the sunshine.

Apparently she has been going out and sitting in the sun with her caregivers which she likes a lot.

Yesterday we had Mothers Day brunch and both had eggs. Mom had an omelet with avocado that she completely finished. I have been eating eggs every day for two months cause that is basically what slides down my choked up gullet easily.

Here are some pics.

Okay, so sorry for not posting sooner/more often but the past few weeks have been pretty rough. When they say the weeks AFTER your last treatments are going to be worse, well they ain't just whistling dixie!
Apparently the chemo and radiation just keep going and doing more damage to the area. Sparing the gory details, suffice it to say I was sick every day straight for 30 plus after my last treatment and it's only now starting to settle down. Lost just shy of 50 lbs and don't recommend this diet. The docs keep telling me I'm about to turn the corner. Small solace.
