Home is for Resting

It's been a couple of days home now and generally, mom is doing okay.  She has decent moments and a lot more painful moments...currently the focus is on the pain from the incision rather than the other pains she'd been feeling prior to the surgery.

Today wasn't a great feel good day physically.  However, she pushed herself to make sure she got her well-needed spiritual and emotional feel good boost...and surprised just about everyone when she showed up at church this morning.  Many greetings, gentle hugs, well wishes and continued prayers from her church friends.  And without any planning, I apparently was decked out in the right colors today in my red checked shirt, fit right into the Pentecost theme today. :)

After church...this was mostly mom's activity of the day...accompanied by her bedside guardian at her post...napping right along...some guardian. ;)

With mom being ill for so long and not able to do as much around the house as she'd like to, and limited on what she'll be able to do any time soon...I took the opportunity to start on the Merry Maids extra special cleaning offer...me...for free!  How much more special can THAT be? ;)  I didn't really ask her, but I know I just feel better when my place is nice and clean...so I can at least do that while she does the above. :)

She's still not quite up to visitors at this time.  I would venture a guess that after the appointment on Wednesday when she gets the staples removed, she might be feeling a bit better to be a little more social.  Church was a long time for her to be sitting 'pretty', and right now, horizontal is a lot more comfortable than vertical for any substantial length of time.  But stay tuned...for those of you who are more local and able to visit...she'll definitely need your companionship and friendship soon.

Thanks to everyone for reading and continuing to keep not only mom in your thoughts and prayers, but me and the rest of our family as well.
