Mom's friends came to visit

Mother has kept in touch with people she worked with in the 60's. 2 of them came over today. Kay and Eileen and had a great visit. Mom tires easily but loved the visit. Even with steroids, her stomach is getting much bigger, and the tumor on her back is getting larger. She fell yesterday, which really scared me, but she is OK. She was getting in a cabinet and turned too quickly and lost her balance. She doesn't seem to be sore, even though she hit her cheek on a table going down. She had a red mark yesterday, but can't see it today. She still eats 5 times a day, not quite as much each time as she used to and still sleeps a lot.

It's wonderful having a sitter and getting out once in awhile. Mother enjoys the company. Someone new to tell her stories to and show her drawings, books etc.
