Grandma is Improving

Sorry, no photos this time. I spent 8 hours with my mom today--driving her to Quincy to see the eye doctor. She scraped up her glasses pretty badly and we wanted to be sure her eyes were not injured in her fall. She really thought she'd be ordering glasses, but the opthamologist suggested waiting a few more days so that the swelling around her eye would not affect her vision and cause her to get the wrong correction.

"Grandma" is doing much better. She had the stitches removed from her lip yesterday and last night was the first night since the fall that she had been able to wear her C-PAP machine and use her oxygen. This morning she felt S*O M*U*C*H better. We jaunted into JC Penney, had lunch at Hardee's, got Father's Day cards and a gifts for Dad, and then did a MAMMOTH shopping trip to Sam's Club. No driving trip to Quincy is complete without ice cream from DQ. I had Jeff's Highlander with the seats flipped down for maximum cargo capacity.

Mom was just ahead of me at Sam's with her one purchase: a 6 foot folding table.

I followed her with two carts full and merited extra help from a young man who helped me put the frozen chicken breasts into the cooler on top of all the ice cream treats for our reunion next week. Then we stacked piles and rows of paper products, pasta, cheeses etc. Wow, we have great meals planned for the next few days. We will all waddle home from our reunion. The kids start arriving in just five days, and then the real fun begins.

And frankly, I can't wait!!! Let the fun begin!!!
