I Knew This Would Happen

[sandycombs]

After weeks of going over every morning and evening to help get her dressed and undressed, Mom is doing much better. She's been getting herself undressed in the evenings for nearly a week, which has cut my need to help in half. Woot! I'm still going over every morning to help her dress and make sure she's taking her medicine the way she should.

But, the thing I've been dreading happened yesterday. Her home health aide gave her a bath and dressed her in the morning, and since she undresses herself at night I didn't have to go over at all for the first time in forever! It was like a mini vacation. Then about 7:00 last night Mom calls: "Aren't you going to come see me today?"

I'm so delighted she's starting to fend for herself, but I just knew this would happen.
