Tying Up Loose Ends Tuesday

So far it has been an easy day around here.  Dinner is done, I changed up the menu and made spaghetti casserole.  Mom had her radiation therapy this morning and came home and took a three hour nap.  She hates to admit that she is tired, but the nap is certainly a giveaway.   Tomorrow mom will be going to her first outpatient rehab appointment.  It took this long as there was not an opening, but she is looking forward to getting back to rehab again.  The week after she will be going to occupational rehab as well.  This is where she will be evaluated to see if she can again drive.  That is what she is hoping for. 


Mom is claiming her independence, and by that I mean she is not wanting to move in with me and my husband.  At least not right now.  She feels she is strong enough to  take care of my dad and herself and she is hoping to drive again.  Well, that is fine.  I totally understand not wanting to give up your independence, at least not until you absolutely have to.  


We have come up with a somewhat feasible solution.   That is to set up house for everyone at both of our houses.  We will have a king size bed here and at out home.  And they will still have their bedrooms here and we will set up the same out there at our home.  This way, it is not necessarily such a final move for anyone.  There will always be an out.  And this will be easier in that we won't be moving furniture every couple of months.

My husband and I will be probably moving back out to our home in mid February.  We are going to wait for the end of the radiation treatments and see how mom is feeling.  I am looking forward to going home and seeing my "girls" again.  My daughter is taking care of them, and she is ready for me to take them home too. 

On a side note, I am starting a new challenge tomorrow...... please check back tomorrow and see what it is all about :)  


Have a great rest of the day!
