Mom's been complaining about stomach pain off and on for about a week. The doctor thinks it may be any or a combination of: gall stones, diverticulitis, or side effects of her various medicines. So - he ordered a sonogram and changed her meds. The sonogram is tomorrow morning at 8:30, then we have a follow-up visit with the doctor on Monday afternoon.
We have engaged Isy ("izzy") as of yesterday. She is a Certified Nursing Aide and she is a little older than me, very patient, and obviously skilled with older patients. We're just going over the household routines, favorite meals, locations of things like kitchen utensils and laundry supplies now, in preparation for her solo debut next week. Isy was a HUGE help getting mom to the doctor yesterday. She is coming part time until next Wednesday, when she will begin staying with Mom full time, and making sure Mary gets to day care in the morning, and receives her back in the afternoon.
I'm going home to Sacramento next Thursday. I'm really looking forward to taking some time for myself when Isy is here, so I can go to the beach, visit friends and libraries, and maybe do some gift shopping before I return.
