A Visit is a visit no matter how small!
My son made it two days late passed Mothers Day but he arrived and brought me this slice of gourmet pizza. OMG ! Artichoke and spinach with a topping layer of cheese. It was welcome change from my usual custom made tuna salad with celery tomato lemon. I had waited for a shower knowing he was coming. That is what I miss. my beautiful bathroom. But he waited for me. He just dropped off after work. tired. a long drive to see me. He remembered when he came on Easter and I touched the canvas in the bag and said Pizza but it was the picture. of course. it was not carried like one. But I like that. no flowers though. I think I once said flowers fade. But he saw the long stemmed huge roses white with pink edges. so gorgeous the home gave us all. I put in mason jar vase. I long for the elegant red glass vase I gave to my daughter and she did not keep. She is going to the hospital for Liam's surgeries. I have not heard from her since January. I cry sometimes.
I have a friend here who comes for me to play cards. Another who I teach the cell phone. I am glad to polish the nails of 2 other ladies I am fond of. They are adopted mothers or adopted daughters.
I am dressed early to go to therapy early. get to breakfast. I need help to walk far in the morning. I need a day out.
My roomie is a nutconfused patient and l I must deal with her telling people outrageous things about me. I am out of my room for so much. I play bingo and a man who brings his sister's dog to visit comes to see me and sit with me.
My roommate said to me Nobody likes you.
I report staff and complain about things. I know I get gifts and I am loved by only a few still left. My gang has dwindled. The nurse said the roomie is paralyzed and in bed all day everyday compared to my getting ready goinng and that I need to ignore her. My friend here said what makes people like that.
So I bought a new teal nail polish. the nurse who goes out and buys colors I have was asking about it. actually a nice man here picked it out when we were at manicures last year.
Another day comes or perhaps I wake up in paradise.
