I called to check on my soon to be 88 year old mother who has been dealing with a cold this past week…
Hello.
Well you sound better.
I feel better. (cough, cough)
Good, You taking your medicine?
Yes. But not the prescription. It had big letters on the bottle that says it will make me dizzy. I don’t want to be alone and dizzy.
What are you taking?
Mucinex.
That’s good, keep taking it. You sound so much better. Did you sleep well.
Yes.
Good.
I could only find one bedroom slipper this morning, when I went looking for the other one, it was in my top drawer. (Laughter, cough, cough)
That’s an interesting place for it.
I’m doing some crazy things. Got in the elevator with my friend, the doors closed and I just stood there looking at her until she said, “I think you have to push a button or something.” (Laughter)
Maybe I’m ready for assistant living. I’m calling my friend and telling her to move over, I’m moving in.
You were petting out of it yesterday.
Today’s Jeff’s Birthday!
No, that was yesterday. This is Valentines Day. Happy Valentines Day!
It is?
Yah, it’s Sunday.
It’s Sunday? What happened to Saturday? That’s why all the show on TV are church…
Yes, that would explain the Sunday Services on TV. Now you can watch your favorite.
I don’t like any of them. Well, where did yesterday go.
You just missed it, that’s all. You were pretty sick…
This conversation could be considered worrisome, but I think this is truly who my mother is. Life just connects on a different plain for her.
This is the same woman who after reading one of my blogs about our grandchildren will remark, “This is so funny, someone should be writing this down!”
