Lack of memory…
So we’re sitting at the dinner table last night when my Mom says, “You did remember to take Monday off for my hand surgery right?”.
Umm…no, I didn’t because she told me NOT too because it’s her left hand and that there was no need for me to take time off. I thought it odd at the time because I’d wondered how she was going to get home from the hospital…but hey, I just thought that she’d made arrangements with a friend or something. Ya know?
Then she got upset with me because I’d originally said that I was going to take that week off…but she’d told me that it wasn’t necessary for me to do that…so I didn’t. However, she doesn’t remember that conversation at ALL mind you…so therefore I’m a bad child.
Well, I put in today for a vacation day on Monday so that I can take her in. It’s not a big deal…but you would’ve sworn it was by listening to her last night…yikes!
It’s amazing how the mind doesn’t recall things well when we get older…and sad at the same time.
Anyway…she’ll be gracing us with her presence for 6 weeks while she’s off of work on leave for her hand. So Jason and I have been strategically planning our periodic getaways!!
Hey…we need to retain our sanity during all of this!
LOL
Other than that…not much going on. I’m glad it’s Friday though…I’m tired and I need some rest. I think it’s from being sick so much and being on antibiotics. Oh well…hopefully I’ll get some sleep tonight.
Have a great weekend!!

Does she have carpal tunnel syndrome? My mom had surgery to correct that and had both hands done at the same time! Hope that your mom won’t drive you and your husband nuts.
