New Hospice Nurse

Last week Cindy the hospice nurse was frustrated with the company. When she didn't come today for the appointment, I found out she had quit. They sent a new nurse and Mother liked her as well, so that was a relief. Mom is doing well, her vitals are normal. Not much pain, but she has started taking a pill for pain at night as turning in bed hurts.

Yesterday we did our Tuesdays routine. Went to the library, since she reads several books a week. Then to see Lorraine, who was in quite a good mood. They had an harmonica player playing hymns, the music was quite catchy and she seemed to enjoy it. We always top the morning off by getting a take home pizza for lunch.

My cousin Clarence and his wife will be back through here Friday on the way to Utah. They have had a great tragedy in the family. His brother Paul and Calla's son Bo was found dead in his apartment. Somehow he fell and hit his head. I really don't know the details. Anyway Clarence and Linda will be staying here on the way to and from the funeral. I asked mom if she wanted to go, but doesn't feel up to it.
