Mama has had a better day today. The nurse brought the pain patches this morning and that has helped her immensely. She has slept a lot but it is better to sleep that writhe in pain. The nurses suspect her leg or hip may be broken but finding out and fixing it would be far more painful that what she is going through now.
I have been surprised at how clear her speech and thinking has been. I was afraid the medicine would cause her be confused. She was able to talk on the phone a little and hasn't been confused hardly at all.
I haven't been able to breathe well for days. It's wearing me down.
Tomorrow I'm going out to see if the crocus are blooming in the flower bed.

Oh Alice I feel so bad for your mama and for you. I have tears in my eyes for what you are going through. I stumbled on your blog and saw it was about reading. Surely you must be a writer as I am - because of your love for words and the lovely way you write about your mother. It reminded me of what I've gone through with my mother. Enjoy what you have of her.
I still miss my mom!
You take care of yourself. You can't help her if you don't. What a precious picture of you as a child. I've been going through old photos lately and have some similar ones of me as I was a towhead too.
Blessings, to you and your mama.

PS I'll be back to read more.

Come and check me out...
I came across your blog thru the next blog button and it has really touched me.
I lost my mom in August of last year and we did home hospice. They were so wonderful not only to mom but to myself and my brothers as well. It was an honor to care for her to the end and also the hardest thing I have ever done. Please don't hesitate to email me or something if you need someone to listen, vent, rejoice, etc..
