Log
08:20 AM: I’m up. Mom requires assistance, and actually, I feel very refreshed. So I think I’ll stay up at least until nap time this afternoon. Again today, I’ll work the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project and continue tagging the EADFF music files and adding them to my music library. Hopefully, I’ll get three more months of 2010 music finished before bedtime tonight.
09:20 AM: I got Mom up and at ‘em, gave her her morning meds, and helped her get into her easy chair. She’s noticeably weaker than she was on Christmas Eve, when she was rushed to the hospital. I’m eager for her to regain that strength she appears to have lost over the days since then.
10:15 AM: Picked up a couple prescriptions for Mom at our pharmacy on a mini shopping trip.
11:00 AM: Arranged transport for Mom, to her echo test next week.
12:00 PM: Extended all my Promo Only music subscriptions for another year; my tenth year with them. Hey, what can I say? I love music!
01:00 PM: Had to cancel the transport I just arranged for Mom a couple hours ago, because her cardiologist had something come up during the entire week of that appointment, and could not keep it. She’s been rescheduled for two weeks later, but I cannot schedule the ride until we hear from the hosital about when precisely they’d like her to arrive.
02:00 PM: Dispensed Mom’s lunch time meds and helped her into her wheelchair.
02:45 PM: I heated up lunch for us all, which consisted of a couple containers of beef grain soup. Delicious!
04:00 PM: Assisted Mom with her afternoon business. She’s back in her wheelchair.
05:00 PM: Mom has become significantly weaker since the beginning of her last hospitalization on Christmas Eve, and she’s experiencing severe pain in her abdomen. So she’s going back to the hospital this evening until they get all this figured out.
06:00 PM: Mom left for the hospital. Sister Jojo will follow her there later and check up on her.
07:20 PM: Fixed [Emmy] some low-salt vegetable beef soup for supper. She’s listening to the Penguins hockey game now while I continue working the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project.
09:00 PM: Sister Jojo called to say that they’ve admitted Mom. They weren’t going to at first, but Jojo spoke up and said that Mom needs to build up her strength again before we can effectively manage her here at home. So, over the next few days, they’ll evaluate Mom and hopefully get her over this UTI infection that’s plagued her for weeks now.
11:10 PM: Finished with the DJ Gig: 2010-12-31 project for tonight. Today, I added three more months of Promo Only’s EA DFF music series for 2010 to the library.
11:55 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
01:05 AM: Skipped today’s rerun episode of Dr. Phil, but watched his 2010-12-16 episode, called Tough Choices.
01:15 AM: Bed time. Back in less than twelve hours to write more. Good night now.
